What is Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP?

Oracle Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a core suite of Oracle Cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. Oracle Expense Management and Oracle Risk Management are part of this solution. Other apps include Financials, Revenue Management, Accounting Hub, PPM, and Procurement. The single cloud platform offers built-in industry standards and modern best practices.

ERP software is the backbone of many organizations and Oracle aims to offer a modern, connected approach combined with the ease and flexibility of the cloud. Oracle Cloud ERP solutions deliver the functionality, analytics, security, mobile capabilities, and social collaboration tools needed to run a business and optimize business processes.

A cloud ERP system can be implemented more rapidly and at lower costs than similarly-featured on-premises ERP solutions running on internal corporate data centers. Any employee can access cloud services and data in real time to stay on top of critical business functions, such as financial planning and analysis, financial reporting compliance and other financial services, as well as supply chain management and project management.

Oracle applications on the cloud have integrated artificial intelligence functionalities to enable advanced business intelligence and analytics features, so as to drive smarter decision-making throughout the enterprise by deriving actionable insights from massive quantities of data.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this at multiple manufacturing sites in our organization, with different languages and different currencies. I primarily use this for Finance and Accounting, as well as internal reporting and analysis. The main advantage is that most sites are now on one common platform, which allows us to share best practices among the various teams at different locations.

Pros

  • Uploading large data sets
  • Customized general ledger mapping
  • Maintain a global chart of accounts

Cons

  • Inconsistency across different modules
  • Error resolution is not easy to follow
  • Sometimes you have to click "OK" too many times to accept an input

Return on Investment

  • We have spent a lot more on this project than originally expected - at least three times as much
  • The most tangible benefit is that this gets us away from old early 190's technology
  • No real hard savings on efficiency improvement yet

Return on Investment

  • Oracle ERP Cloud minimizes the maintenance burden for ERP administrators and teams, which IT staffs particularly appreciate. Customers also like how the suite helps reduce the financial overhead of managing company-wide systems.

Java dependency is finished and no need to upgrade java versions. The application can be accessed out [of] the network easily. The application is easy to use as it guides for the next step of action. The option to upload bulk data through excel is a worthwhile feature and it reduces job burden.

Pros

  • I no longer need VPN to login into the ERP cloud system.
  • I no longer need Java app required for form based application.
  • Data uploading feature using excel was highly required as it makes user life easy.
  • The application is self explanatory and easy to use.

  • The web page becomes expired if unattended after a specific period of time which is waste of time [whereas], inform base application, it is nothing to worry about. So it needs to be fixed or improved.
  • There should be option of save as draft in cases the page become expired.
  • Informs, there was [the] option of [reading] only access [whereas] web pages in cloud does not allow read only access in various cases like supplier or customer definition pages.

Return on Investment

  • I can work from home easily without VPN and other security requirements.
  • Easy to use with less training.
  • Navigation steps are easy to access any product in the cloud application.
