Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle ERP Cloud assisted Bahri - KSA to streamline their business processes in the following business functions/departments:
1. Finance Function
2. HR Function
3. Procurement Function
4. Business Planning Function

Additionally, it is used to interact with Bahri commercial systems (for Customer and Supplier transactions) through Oracle Cloud Integration tools. It was a transition project from the existing Oracle EBS system to Oracle Cloud ERP. This transition enabled Bahri to:
1. Digitalize business processes, especially around Support Business Functions.
2. Enhance user experience with an easier business application interface.
3. Enhanced experience through different Mobile Applications for the said functions.
4. Ease of Reporting through built-in Intelligence Tools.

Pros and Cons

Oracle Cloud ERP has the most comprehensive accounting engine to cater to various Financial Reporting needs.
Oracle Cloud ERP has real strength in balancing control & flexibility through its modular yet integrated Business Functions approach.
Its reporting capabilities are now enhanced and need very little effort and skills to develop, which empowers users with the Analytics they want.
It is fit for every organization because of its interoperability with other Business Applications through integrations

Documentation: They must improve in their documentation. There are a lot of features that aren't mentioned in Oracle Online's available guides. Users only come to know after using or exploring it.
Production processes: Oracle Cloud ERP has a long way to go to address Core Production processes. They have made progress through Primavera, but this only addresses the planning bit and not the core design-driven execution.
Support: This point actually ties back to documentation. But Support teams should be equipped with the latest tools, and considering cloud structure, they should have more access to the problem identification. So the support level should also enhance with new product capabilities.

Return on Investment

It has positively impacted Business Processes Integration between different business functions.
It has positively impacted user experience and interface.
It has negatively impacted core customization requirements which are sometimes necessary for better operability of the application.

Likelihood to Recommend

I will very much recommend (10/10) Oracle Cloud ERP to every medium-large scale organization. Especially organizations that want to avoid huge IT Infrastructure and resource costs as Oracle Cloud ERP enables to relieve the organization from huge IT investments. It is well suited to work for organizations where there are complex financial and operations structures. Its different products are tightly integrated with each other but still enable different business functions to work based on their policies & procedures. However, for smaller organizations where policies and procedures aren't yet developed up to business function level, or the organizations are solely driven by one department. I will not recommend Oracle Cloud ERP. In my opinion, the single most important advantage of Oracle Cloud ERP is the Integrated but modular approach that enables rule-driven information generation, which other business functions can read and auto-translate for their usage.
