We have found - simply by Oracle ERP Cloud client requests - that a large majority of businesses who have adopted Oracle Cloud Applications for their business are either "Dissatisfied" or "Highly Dissatisfied".
We have further found that this is NOT typically due to Oracle Cloud Applications limitations. Quite the opposite.
This is mainly due to poor implementations in which implementation partners value speed of project completion far over quality of implementation.
As a result, all the wonderful 21st century functionality already built into Oracle Applications --- you know the awesome tools, technology and process improvements likely "demo'd" to you, impressed you, and caused you to invest in Oracle Cloud Apps in the first place???
NONE of these were implemented. None. Because integrator focus has been on SPEED of implementation and only on SPEED of implementation ---- all they have time to setup are the absolute BARE BONES of Oracle Cloud Apps.
What does that mean for you?? It means a a system with hardly anything more impressive that what a system like "Quick-Books" offers. The absolute bare bones - no frills - no improvements - no process improvements - no strategic BI reporting you hoped would provide your business with real-time information that would serve as an intelligent decision making tool, giving you a clear Strategic Advantage over inferior systems.
Were such things discussed, even demo'd during the sales process? I'll bet so. Yet, you see no evidence of any such elevated tools in Oracle Cloud. You see limited functionality, and frankly confusion of how processes are any more efficient than they were before.
Again, THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE ORACLE CLOUD SAAS SYSTEM YOU'VE INVESTED IN .
Those 21st century tools and technology exist NOW - and are as game changing-fantastic as you had hoped at the beginning. They were simply IGNORED in favor of implementing an insanely fast implementation, the only way to do so being to enable just the bare bones - again the same bare bones Quickbooks Offers.
Oracle Cloud Applications offers so much more. It offers new highly efficient processes and workflows. It offers amazing BI tools that show Real-Time results, and can be viewed every-time you log in as your custom Dashboard. It can perform many automatic reconciliations. It can not only give you your cash reserves to the penny. It can forecast your near-term cash balances based on future transactions,. It offers report bursting. It offers the best security in the business. It offers both Board-Ready Financials anytime you want them, as well as amazing drill down capabilities from the highest levels.
I could go on and on.
In short, we have found a TREMENDOUS need to assist clients who already implemented Oracle Cloud Applications --- and HATE IT.
It will only take one or two resources (low cost) - and when we are finished - you will have the Oracle Cloud Apps that you dreamed of long ago when the demo knocked your socks off.
When we are finished correcting the mistakes and ignored 21st Century Functionality that should never have been ignored in the first place -- your Oracle Cloud Apps investment will become a Strategic Advantage - helping you make informed decisions. Your processes will be upgraded to "Oracle Cloud Best Practices" that will speed up transaction input as well as Month End & Year End Close.
We know we can give you these amazing results because we keep getting asked to do so - without us even even advertising such offerings -- and clients end up thrilled with the results. Word of mouth has started to flow. And - because of this critical need -- we plan to make this our main focus for our firm.
Don't hate your Oracle Cloud Apps investment. It's got all you hoped for and more. LET US IMPROVE IT. You'll be amazed, thrilled and find your investment is very, very well worth it after all.
