Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle EBS throughout the company. We have the entire financial suite, purchasing, order management, Advanced Supply Chain Planning, as well as most of the supply chain modules. We do not use warehouse management or shop floor management as this time.

EBS runs our business from the shop floor to the financials.

Pros and Cons

EBS financial modules work well for us.
Order management is a breeze with EBS.
Advanced Supply Chain Management keeps our supply chain moving and helps the planners and purchasing departments.

Reporting could use work. We have to rely on third party reporting tools to get the reports we need.
Lots of Java issues. Any Java update can cause issues for the users.
Oracle support is not that supportive. Its a struggle to get a ticket resolved without a lot of time and patience.

Return on Investment

Overall Oracle has costs us a ton of money and we probably would have been better off with another ERP.

Alternatives Considered

SAP is similar but with better reporting. Oracle is cheaper thus we went with them.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Exchange, SQL Developer

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall EBS is a good ERP if configured correctly. But that entails a ton of development work and customization. If you only need the financial modules, I think the system is a 9/10. The other modules is where I think the system runs into issues. Supply chain could use work as some aspects of the processes don't make sense for the majority of manufacturers.
