“With Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, we are operating on a global platform, with a much faster turnaround time on our monthly closes and improved visibility into all transactions.” – Paul Wogan, Chief Information Officer, OIA Global Logistics
- Replace legacy order management systems with an integrated solution that connects order flow and inventory control, while tying these functions to the logistics company’s financial management system
- Separate OIA from its previous shared environment with 23 other companies so it could run independently
- Optimize the supply chain and realize cost savings through improved management and sourcing
