    Overview

    Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers a complete, innovative, and proven solution for organizations of all sizes. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is a comprehensive, modern solution on a single cloud platform that includes built-in industry standards and modern best practices. 

    Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP provides your teams with advanced capabilities, such as AI to automate the manual processes that slow them down, analytics to react to market shifts in real time, and automatic updates to stay current and gain a competitive advantage.

    Designed with scalability in mind, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP manages core business areas including:

    • Accounting
    • Financial planning and analysis
    • Financial close
    • Revenue recognition
    • Risk management
    • Compliance and governance
    • Procurement
    • Project planning and execution
    • Inventory and supply chain
    • Product lifecycle

    ERP software is the backbone of many organizations and Oracle offers a modern, connected approach combined with the ease and flexibility of the cloud. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP delivers the functionality, analytics, security, mobile capabilities, and social collaboration tools needed to run a business today.

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

    No one likes big deltas between forecasts and actuals. Most models though are too limited, relying on sample datasets or just gut feel. Oracle Cloud ERP introduces machine-learning to predictive planning and forecasting so you can utilize broader datasets, reveal hidden bias, uncover significant deviations, and speed your overall response time.

  • Automate and eliminate your manual business processes

    Spend less time compiling data and more time understanding what it tells you. Whether preparing your narrative for the street or assessing potential M&A activity, Oracle Cloud ERP gives your team more time for strategic work by automating the most time-consuming, mundane business processes. With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by SAP S4HANA users.

    A Mechanical Engineer at a construction company says, “It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool. The most valuable feature is that the reporting is fast. We can see the results from that in that our commissions come in fast. That is the main advantage.”

    Another reviewer, a SAP Technology Manager at a financial services firm, mentions, "It is more or less a very, very smooth and seamless product. Day by day they are increasing their technology features and they are keen to resolve the issues. India has a complex business scenario and SAP is thinking about that and resolving the issues day by day. In terms of the features I have found most valuable, I don't think that there is any lack or any gap process-wise. SAP is a very good tool."

    A Project and Service delivery Manager at a tech services company comments, "One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."

    A Senior Architect at a construction company states, “The POD applications are very useful to us. There are a few POD apps which we are using for different business scenarios. They are quite interesting.” He also adds, “The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The documentation is very good. The solution can scale well. The solution is stable.”
