Oracle blog post: Leading FedEx Services Through COVID-19

FedEx drove a transformation using Oracle Cloud to help make enterprise functions like finance feel as innovative as the experiences that the company delivers to its customers.

<!DOCTYPE html>FedEx is renowned for how it uses tech-fueled innovation to constantly improve not just the delivery of packages, but the information customers have about that package. The company wanted to apply that same innovation spirit to employee-facing, back-office experiences&mdash;specifically, to finance and supply chain functions. The leaders of this effort did not want a one-time project; instead, they wanted to build innovation into their operating model.

As a result, the leadership team created a permanent organization called the Digital Innovation Center of Excellence (DICE), with the hub located at the FedEx headquarters and regional innovation centers of excellence in Asia and Europe. The DICE team wanted bold steps to make breakthrough efficiency gains in its back-office operations&mdash;and that meant bringing in the most innovative technologies and tactics. This transformation required a large-scale move to cloud applications.

The Kraft Heinz Company implemented Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service to implement zero-based budgeting, improve planning accuracy, and reduce IT management costs over on-premises solutions by 5X.

<!DOCTYPE html>The 150-year-old consumer goods company wanted to implement a global cost-management initiative based on a zero-based budgeting approach. It also wanted to improve its planning and budgeting system&#39;s scalability to support company growth, including growth through mergers and acquisitions, while interfacing with back-end financial management systems.

Also, Kraft Heinze needed to consolidate budgets across the entire company in real time and provide the flexibility needed to enable budget owners across food product lines to make changes to budgeting processes, without affecting users. That change would support&nbsp;more effective decision-making by enabling budget owners to access near real-time reports, rather than requiring them to wait for weekly updates that were dated and often inaccurate.

The company also looked to replace an error-prone Microsoft Excel and Access-based solution that did not scale effectively to 1,500 users across 40 countries in 5 time zones.

Plus, all this needed to be accomplished in four to five months to meet the management team&#39;s expectations for implementing a new cost-effective solution.

Innovative video communications company Zoom turned to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to support its unprecedented growth as it became an essential service to hundreds of millions globally.

<!DOCTYPE html>In April, as working from home became a global health imperative, Zoom&rsquo;s daily tally of meeting participants <a href="https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/22/90-day-security-plan-progress-report-april-22/">mushroomed to 300 million</a>, up from 10 million in December. One reason for that growth spurt was that the company, founded in 2011 with a focus on business users, had begun supporting educators and students with a free tier for K&ndash;12 schools. Zoom becoming an essential service for enterprises further boosted its usage.
