Overall Satisfaction with Oracle eBusiness Suite
I have 2 roles where Oracle eBusiness Suite is used by my organization. Both are used as the main ERP system for the whole corporation. However, some business units (particularly recently acquired ones) do not use most of all modules of our Oracle EBS. It solves the business problem of having a single source of truth, particularly from a corporate view. It also allows the use of shared-services as shared-service team benefits from utilizing the same system as the business units that they are supporting.
- Oracle EBS and SAP are main competitors for large Fortune 500 type clients. Oracle is better than SAP in terms of customizing or for non-standard businesses
- Flexfield is something specific to Oracle EBS and allows customization in variables
- Oracle owns PeopleSoft so migration from software like PeopleSoft to Oracle is easier
- Oracle tends to be cheaper to implement vs SAP out of the box
- User interface is still behind customer-based software like those by Google
- New and smaller ERP systems tend to have better automation and GUI
- Oracle EBS R12 still blends both webpage with Java interface from prior version
- Single source of truth. Reduced pulling and consolidating from various systems into 1.
- Standard interface for operating the company
- Enabled in-depth analytics of financial information
- SAP
As mentioned before, Oracle tends to be better for companies that require more customizing of the system to fit their business models whereas SAP is better for companies that require less customization or want to follow industry standard processes. I did not choose the Oracle eBusiness Suite system for the companies.
