Oracle E-Business Suite

What differentiates Oracle E-Business Suite from other similar products?

Oracle E-Business Suite stands out in its competition in its consolidated and complete character. Oracle E-Business Suite is a suite with numerous modules for numerous processes in a business, including finance, supply chain, HR, and CRM. With its diversity, an organization can have much of its operations in a single system, reducing several software packages and information flow between departments to a minimum.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite feature in Oracle E-Business Suite is integration of environments. Integration between disparate modules such as finance, procurement, and HR creates a single, unobstructed view of an organization's operations. Integration simplifies processes, eliminates information silos, and enables collaboration between departments. For example, a single record for an employee can not only be leveraged in HR applications but can even be leveraged in financial applications for payment of expenses, assigning a resource to a project, and requisition in Procurement.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of its greatest weaknesses is its complexity. With its rich feature sets and high customizability, it can have a high level of difficulty in usability for new users. Installation and configuration can consume a lot of time and resources, and can discourage small companies, or companies with no IT infrastructure, to use it. Complexity can require a high level of training for end-users and can cause a productivity dip in its early acceptance phases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For those who will be deploying Oracle E-Business Suite, I whole-heartedly believe in taking a thoughtful review of your requirements and capabilities in advance.
