Oracle WebCenter Content vs. Redwood Reporting : Report2Web

WebCenter Content is suitable for payables invoice processing for companies with a huge volume of paper invoices. 80% of data entry effort can be reduced. For small companies with less volume, WebCenter may not make sense. WebCenter is not perfect. It has some issues. We raised enhancement requests with Oracle, hopefully, Oracle will resolve them soon.

The tool is very powerful for obtaining and scheduling reports; however, I believe that if the cost were lower, more companies could obtain it

The challenges with converting to a completely new system create quite a barrier to switching to anything else. If we find another system that offers guaranteed improvements to the user interface -- as well as as a more coherent set of options for data interchanges with current and future enterprise data sources -- we would be more interested in swithing to that new product. Of course, the expense in purchasing competitor system, along with the costs of migrating all current content, along with retooling all existing workflows in place, would be carefully weighed against the benefits incurred from a switch-over.

It meets all required functionality requirements -- but handles none of them in an exceptional manner

I can't really provide an answer for this question because I think the basic premise is flawed. Which system an organization selects is based (or should be based) on their unique business and organizational requirements, not the features of the system. We do not recommend a particular solution to a client based on subjective preference for one system over another but rather for its appropriateness to achieve a particular goal or collection of goals.

• We were looking for a scalable solution for invoice processing needs. WebCenter did fit the bill. It reduced manual data entry effort by 80%.
• WebCenter saved our storage costs. We do not need to store the physical paper copies anymore in our expensive offices.
• WebCenter increased the employee engagement and reduced monotonous data entry work. Employees now have time to spend on value-added work rather than data entry.
• Auditors were happy with the tool, as they can retrieve any document with the click of a button as opposed to search and find a physical document.

• The Redwood system by itself is a very good tool that can pay off the investment in a very short time.
• It has a positive impact for the different managements since they can obtain their reports on a daily basis and in case any job fails on a recurring basis they can make decisions.
