Oracle WebCenter Content is being used for an AP invoicing solution. It is being used by the AP business team in our organization. It gives a life cycle to our supplier's invoices and gives one repository and source of truth for all supplier invoices and it also provided easy access to the invoices. And to also make sure to prevent duplication and timely payment to the suppliers.
  • It provided one single repository with a URL link to access each AP invoice.
  • It gives a life cycle to each invoice where a business user can perform some additional indexing as per their needs.
  • It also provides a reporting feature and a front-end for users to view invoices with ease and very helpful for auditing purpose.
  • It uses the BPEL engine to customize the life cycle and also it can automate the auto entry of supplier invoices in your EBS system.
  • Reduce a lot of manual efforts, manual errors and workforce.
  • The OCR feature needs to be enhanced as currently for automatically creation of invoices, we still need a XML data file.
The WebCenter content can be used with all the Oracle modules where documentation is being used.

We implemented Oracle Fusion Payables along with WebCenter content. WebCenter has optical character recognition capability which reduces data entry effort by 80%. Accounts payables invoice processing is a paper-intensive process. We have a shared service center which processes about 1500 invoices a day. We were looking for a scalable solution and Oracle Fusion Payables with WebCenter solved the problem.
WebCenter content can extract index and archive the data. As per regulatory requirements, we are supposed to store all AP invoices for 7 years. We were storing them physically in cabinets in the office. With the current real estate boom, we were spending a significant amount on rentals. With WebCenter Content, these invoices can be stored, indexed and archived in the cloud. This frees up space in our office and saves money. Our auditors also loved this as data is organized in a much better way and it can be easily retrieved with a click of the button.
WebCenter content is an enterprise-class content management system which can securely store any type of documents from any source. Further WebCenter content can be integrated with any major ERP in the market.
  • Suppliers emailed scanned invoices to WebCenter as opposed to sending invoices via snail mail, which is paper intensive and slow. This alone reduced our Payables processing cycle time.
  • WebCenter Content can extract, categorize, index and organize data from invoice images. This reduces 80% of data entry effort. WebCenter Content has optical character recognition capability. It can match the invoice to the purchase order mentioned on the invoice image.
  • WebCenter content is tightly integrated with Oracle Payables. The scanned invoices can be accessed from payables on demand. Invoice approvers can view the scanned invoice before approving them.
  • Any images in the emails sent by suppliers (supplier logos in the signature) are treated as invoices by WebCenter Content software.
  • We have an invoice with 4 lines and each line has its own project manager. Ideally, each invoice line should be sent for approval to respective project managers. However, WebCenter Business Process management was sending all the lines to all project managers.
  • The user experience of Oracle WebCenter Content can be drastically improved. It is not up to the mark.
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.

  • 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.
We were looking for an automated invoice processing solution. As we are already on Oracle ERP, it made sense for us to go for Oracle Fusion payables with Oracle WebCenter Content. We have a good relationship with Oracle and Oracle promised us priority support during the time of implementation.

This was selected as a solution to be used as the platform for a planned enterprise-wide records management system. An important feature was the the ability to manage both existing paper records, as well as current and future electronic records. The optional RMA records management module offered a Records life-cycle management ability that we did not previously possess.
  • Offers a stable Content Management environment with native versioning for use as a collaboration environment.
  • The optional Inbound Refinery can automatically generate PDF renditions of content files
  • Records management module meets all of the basic DoD 5015.2 Records Mgmt standards specifications
  • Standard components can perform additional functions was as Image Processsing, water-marking
  • The user interface is very dated, and not really very configurable without custom module development. We are waiting to see what the promised improvements in the UI look like, when they are debuted in the upcoming 12C release of WebCenter
  • There are really no simple utilities or APIs for transferring content and metadata between WebCenter and any interconnected systems. Any data transfer project -- whether an ad hoc transfer, or an ongoing service -- typically requires some sort of custom Java development
  • The basic application is very mature, and pretty much bullet-proof. When odd problems or behaviors arise, the Oracle support engineers have a wide range of support experience with the product. Their knowledge levels can vary from expert to essentially no experience with the product. This can lead to lengthy, frustrating support cases, to solve even minor issues
If a customer is setting up a system from scratch, can they afford to have a 3rd party integrator come on site to assist with designing, configuring and launching their installation? It might be very difficult to bring a WebCenter system up, without any expert assistance for the launch.

If a potential customer needs to have a great deal of interconnectivity with other enterprise systems, how much custom development support can they muster to support their plans?
  • Our outfit had created a File Plan for enterprise records. Now, this Records Management installation has given us the tools to implemet the enterprise's information life-cycle rules, and carry out retention policies on the various record series and categories that had been worked out.
I was not present for any product comparisons. We switched from a Documentum system for paper records, which apparently did not have the Records Management capabilities we were looking for in place at that time. Since then, we have looking at other records management solutions; The Alfresco platform looks very attractive, for its more up-to-date interface, and its ease in being customized to meet any aspect of a user's needs.
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.
  • None of the functions are easy to use without some amount of user training by an experienced staff.
  • The built-in online support system is rudimentary; the help screens are inconsistantly contextual -- and are mostly just repeats from the printed training manuals
  • User content entry is not difficult -- but is not intuitive either; all entry requires a fair amount of coaching
No
It meets all required functionality requirements -- but handles none of them in an exceptional manner
