Recent Report Overlooks Key Advantages of Oracle Midsize Solutions
A recent analyst report that relied on outdated market research didn’t sufficiently consider Oracle’s key advantages in midsize business solutions, including superior implementation tools and experience, solution completeness, and next-generation technologies.
With more than 25,000 midsize application customers, Oracle is an industry leader in terms of both completeness of vision and ability to execute with its midsize solutions, including Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle E-Business Suite.
Ability to Execute
According to Mark Johnson, vice president, Oracle, the report focused heavily on the buying experience as it evaluated companies’ ability to execute, at the expense of the implementation experience.
For example, one of Oracle’s leading competitors is ranked close to Oracle in terms of ability to execute, even though their implementation method is essentially based on a set of documents describing best-practice configuration methods, says Johnson. By contrast, Oracle Business Accelerators provide wizards that take the user through the business decision-making process together with the implementation process.
Using Oracle Business Accelerators, customers have deployed the Oracle E-Business Suite in as few as 30 days, including Oracle Financials, Oracle Human Resources and Oracle Procurement applications. In fact, Oracle implementations using business accelerators can be more than 50% faster than the industry average for midsize organizations.
And in the last nine months, Oracle has released Oracle E-Business Suite User Productivity Kit training materials covering more than 1,500 topics to help with end-user training.
Completeness of Vision
According to Johnson, the report also seems to fail to take into account Oracle leadership and vision in terms of next-generation technologies—and the unparalleled benefits in terms of flexibility, scalability, and interoperability they offer.
In particular, Oracle has led the industry with groundbreaking work in SOA, application integration architecture (AIA), open standards, master data management (MDM), and mash-ups, as well as new deployment paradigms like social media, SaaS, and hybrid off/on-premise deployment.
Perhaps most important, says Johnson, is that Oracle offers the widest range of choices, including on premise, via Oracle On Demand, or hybrid implementations that enable companies to elect which modules to deploy where.
