YLE Drives Back-Office Modernisation with a Cloud-First Strategy
YLE, Finland’s national public broadcasting company, operates more than 20 radio stations, four national TV channels and local suburban channels.
The company wanted to modernise its back office, moving away from its existing Oracle E-Business Suite. After receiving 14 different proposals, YLE decided to replace its systems with Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud.
Four years later, YLE has returned to Oracle for a new financial-planning solution. Spreadsheets were no longer an option, so the company opted for Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud; an affordable high-performance solution that seamlessly integrates with the existing Oracle ERP Cloud suite – significantly reducing the potential for any disruption during integration.
VEON Supports a Shared Service Centre
Amsterdam-based VEON – a global provider of telecommunications services – provides voice, fixed broadband, data and digital services to customers around the world.
With multiple offices in different countries, VEON struggled to create insight and actionable information quickly and easily. This was made more difficult after new regulations were introduced that meant local sites could no longer change their processes whenever and however they liked.
VEON decided to deploy a shared service centre, but also recognised that this required a single, global solution that integrated ERP and human capital management (HCM).
Oracle Cloud Machine offered Oracle Cloud services in VEON’s existing data centre, meaning the company could comply with regulations more easily.

Orange Optimises Productivity with Oracle ERP Cloud
Supporting 250 million customers across 220 countries, Orange is one of the world’s biggest telecommunications operators.
The company set out to achieve its digital transformation strategy, but quickly recognised the need for a more flexible, modern and integrated system; one that didn’t compromise security.
The solution? Oracle ERP Cloud.
Oracle ERP Cloud Enables Orange to Reduce Costs
The company approached Oracle to help reduce the cost of its existing infrastructure, hosting and maintenance, as well as minimising in-house development and aligning accounting processes.
That’s when we told them about Oracle ERP Cloud: the solution that, in the company’s opinion, provided the most suitable functionality for its financial requirements. That includes modernising back-office functions, accessing real-time data, enhancing predictive analytics capabilities, freeing staff to focus on value-added tasks, and more.
Operational costs halved
33% Overall cost savings
We have always been working with Oracle. We did not find any other solutions on the market that seemed to fit our needs.
When you want to recruit young people to accounting, Oracle ERP Cloud provides an environment for digital natives.

Telecommunications Company Transitions from Oracle E-Business Suite to Oracle ERP Cloud
An international telecommunications company has been supporting businesses with connectivity challenges for more than 40 years. This time, however, the organisation needed a helping hand of its own.
Broadcasting 35 DTT channels and 900 FM radio stations, while providing networks for four French mobile phone networks, the company needs to offer new services like connected DTT, video on demand, catch-up TV, web-based media, amongst others.
To achieve this, the company replaced its old Oracle E-Business Suite and removed the need for in-house development. But there was also a need to keep costs down.
That’s exactly why the telecommunications provider opted for Oracle ERP Cloud – a modern, less-expensive, agile solution that provided the flexibility of SaaS pricing over a one-year contract.
