Oracle Cloud Financials

Oracle Use

Pros:

Oracle is an outstanding software tool that is used by myself in the financial aspect of my employment. I used three different version of Oracle Financial starting with Oracle10.7, Orcle 11i and Oracle 12. Plus the side tool like Discover Report Writing and it Logistic tools.

Cons:

The selections that my management made it what they purchased from Oracle and the Support that they provided to use the tool. I saw what could be done with Oracle by other regions with in my employer. We converted from 10.7 to 11i for one of the main reason was to track and manage our capital budget which for our region was $1.1 Billion Dollars. But after the conversion we had to start all over and start from the ground. Not Oracle fault but the consultants and management fault. We even manage that budget approval process in Excel.

The ERP of all ERPS

Comments: Love it. It makes ERP so easy to love and for sure the very best to use as an accountant. No need to move data from one application to the other and no need to worry with security

Pros:

Still the best of the best hands down. I have been using oracle products for 18 years. In the middle of these 18 years, I have used Sage, Quickbooks and I can say Oracle is still the very best hands down. The integration is Superb. Its ability to integrate with other smaller systems is brilliant and the reports availability is wonderful. It is easy to learn and easy to navigate. Oracle cloud is my favourite for sure.

Cons:

Maybe the price. I wish we could deploy more of the modules but the price is a deterrent for sure.

Oracle Fusion - underdeveloped, slow, awkward and undersupported

Pros:

It is easy to access via the web due to the cloud based. Not having to purchase server infrastructure is an expense savings.

Cons:

Oracle Fusion is frankly not a fully developed product. As a previous user of server-based Oracle ERP, the lack of operation functionality is mind-boggling. It is awkward to use. Many times you have to click multiple levels to find information that almost any other system provides on one screen. Every screen with a table will only return a few rows of the table and then makes you scroll down and the system fetches that data. Providing 10 columns of data 10 rows at a time is clunky, time consuming and unacceptable. If you investigate a record and return to previous screen you will have to do the fetching procedure all over. The seeded reports haven't covered even standard financial reporting, G/L research and inventory reporting. Writing your own reports is challenging due to a lack of documentation of how and where the system stores data. Ever since implementation, we have had to fight very hard for even simple fixes. We often met with some combination of "why would you need that", "the system will never do that" and "your request will have to wait in line and will be fixed if enough users are concerned" for a number of levels of Oracle sale, support and management. Ultimately our operations are somewhere between 25% and 50% slower than our previous old outdated MS Dynamics system.
