Overall Satisfaction with Oracle ERP Cloud
Oracle ERP Cloud is being used by some of the company's locations throughout Europe. In North America, the company is still using Oracle E-Business Suite. But in Europe, each location was previously using its own ERP solution. The intent with this transition to Oracle ERP Cloud was to begin getting all locations to use the same platform to standardize processes and make communication with the US simpler.
- Financials: It allows our company's financial controllers to easily see snapshots of finances at various locations.
- Manufacturing: Work Orders are generated for our complex products which simplifies the supply chain process.
- Upgrades are frequent and tend to change major functionality resulting in users have to "re-learn" tasks.
- There are a lot of bugs since the product is relatively new.
- It has improved our financial tracking and accountability by forcing our European locations to use a standard platform.
- We have yet to see a positive ROI since the cost of the product, as well as ongoing implementation and support costs, have not yet outweighed the benefits.
I see Oracle ERP Cloud as the next generation of the Oracle E-Business Suite. I'm sure the EBS will be supported for years to come, but I believe Oracle (like most other companies) recognizes that the cloud is the future. Oracle EBS has been around for many years and has had its share of problems like any major software platform. Since Oracle ERP Cloud is still in its infancy, it tends to have more than its share of bugs right now. But I do think that it is Oracle's solution that will outlive the EBS.
