Upgrading to Oracle Release 12 or Moving to Oracle Fusion? While there are no “written-in-stone” rules regarding upgrading versus re-implementing a significant ERP system, there are some key considerations that must be weighed heavily to determine the right direction for your specific situation. • • • • • • • How can you simplify and consolidate your global finances? How do you get a broader view of your global supply chain decisions and the implications those will have on both the cost and revenue? Is there a single system to manage all your employees and still keep your adherence to local regulations? Would you like to simplify your procurement process? Would you like your business to run smoother and more efficiently – even globally? Do you want to find a way to make large company growth easier and more seamless? How much better would your company run if you could increase the visibility of all your operations? Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 includes a number of functions that will help your company handle growth and keep all of your services centralized into a single location. Release 12 will also give you the tools you need to help your company reduce redundancies which will save you time and money through over 300 new enhancements. Some of these enhancements include the Oracle Profitability Manager, Oracle Strategic Network Optimization, Oracle Project Portfolio Analysis, Oracle Human Resources’ expanded country support, Oracle Advanced Procurement, Oracle Financials, and the shared services center. All of these enhancements were created with the purpose of simplifying and consolidating all your major functions, locations, and transactions into one place. For example, Oracle Financials will use a single transaction which will then create multiple entries based on your generally accepted accounting principles thereby providing consistency to your financial reporting. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 combines all of this to give a multinational company standardized processes, centralized management, and simplified reporting which will give you control over the immense volume of information within all of your systems. But not just global companies will benefit, but also companies with a single location will benefit from Release 12 by increasing the visibility across all operations.
