Introduction

Oracle Process Accelerators are process solutions, developed by Oracle, which address common business processes or high-value industry processes. Oracle Process Accelerators have been developed to simplify and improve the management of these processes.

Why Oracle Process Accelerators

An organization engaged in automating critical high-value processes with Oracle Fusion Middleware can benefit from the implementation of Oracle Process Accelerators. These pre-built solutions supplement the benefits of Oracle Fusion Middleware in these ways:

- Consensus Building - Using these pre-built processes, the IT organization can illustrate the advantages of process-driven applications, to show the value of process automation to the business community.
- Best Practice - A Best Practice Guideline based on the accumulated experience and expertise of Oracle developers and implementers is provided with Oracle Process Accelerators. These best practices mitigate the risk associated with learning and deploying a new technology. The guide includes development methodologies, process-modeling approaches, effective tool use techniques, and sample deployment plans. Oracle uses these best practices to build the Oracle Process Accelerators.
- Rapid Deployment - The Oracle Process Accelerators can be implemented as is or extended to meet specific requirements. In either scenario, there is a significant reduction of effort.
- Build a Process Centric Organization - Clearly, an organization will not be using Oracle Process Accelerators to computerize a small set of common business processes. It is highly likely that a critical value-add process that provides a market differentiation is being automated to improve customer satisfaction or reduce costs. While the more significant project is underway, the business community can start to learn how to use process driven applications to their benefit. By rolling out Oracle Process Accelerators, the organization gets a head start with the new paradigm. If multiple Oracle Process Accelerators are deployed, the management community begins to learn that process automation reduces the overhead associated with handling mundane tasks. The implementing organization has the opportunity to win a quick victory with the new technology, and the business users learn the value of managing tasks through accurately routed processes. The organization as a whole begins to appreciate the benefits of becoming process-centric.
