New Enhancements in Oracle E-Business Suite 12 Bring Big Benefits to Midsize Companies

A series of innovations in Oracle E-Business Suite 12 is bringing midsize companies the same depth and breadth of functionality enjoyed by their larger competitors.

Offering user-friendly Web 2.0 user interfaces and increased prebuilt industry functionality, Oracle E-Business Suite 12 has had complexity removed at each stage of ownership, from setup and adoption to maintenance and upgrades.

"Due to the high cost of acquiring capital, midsize companies strive to achieve a timely return on investment for their IT investments," says Ron Berry, Oracle director of applications strategy for midsize companies. "Oracle E-Business Suite 12 makes that possible."

The Right Stuff
Oracle E-Business Suite 12 offers the right applications for all the areas midsize companies are most concerned about — including financials, HR, CRM, and supply chain — all on a unified information architecture.

Oracle E-Business Suite 12 also delivers deep, prebuilt, industry-specific functionality, including predefined, adaptive vertical workflows that leverage industry best practices, reduce the time to go live, and minimize the need for customizations. Responding to another key concern for midsize companies, Oracle E-Business Suite 12 easily integrates with Microsoft Word, Excel, and other familiar desktop applications.

Faster Adoption, Easier Setup, Simplified Maintenance
Designed with input from customer focus groups and industry best-in-class solutions, Oracle E-Business Suite 12 also gives midsize companies an enhanced user interface that vastly improves the user experience, lowering training costs and acclimating new users more easily. And advanced personalization means the solution can be tailored to users' needs, without customization or programming. The result: users work faster and smarter.

Oracle E-Business Suite 12 also improves and simplifies IT lifecycle management, freeing up resources to concentrate on value-add tasks. Advanced installation utilities and a user-friendly wizard simplify and streamline installation. Patch application utilities enable faster deployment and minimize risk.

No More Rip and Replace
"Since ERP solutions represent a major investment for smaller companies, they cannot afford to 'rip-and-replace' every few years" adds Berry. In addition, the certification of Oracle E-Business Suite 12 on Fusion Middleware provides midsize companies with a clear path to upgrade.

"With Oracle E-Business Suite 12, customers have the power of choice — to purchase and implement only those applications that make the most sense for their business today along with a clear path when it's time to upgrade and scale." Berry says.
