Accelerate Your ERP Implementation

More Value. Reduced Risks. Lower Costs.

The challenges for enterprises today

cesses Pro

Organizations today face tremendous pressures to be competitive and to grow in current economic conditions. The challenges are many with prime focus on meeting the expectations of customers and partners while also controlling the costs involved. IT is the key enabler in this scenario and can address revenue growth, profitability, efficiency, collaboration, quality, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. While the IT initiative is typically triggered with an ERP implementation, CIOs typically approach this with caution as an ERP implementation can take a long time and requires the organizations to keep their key employees engaged in the implementation process for an extended period of time. Additionally, CIOs still face the threat of a failed implementation. Most organizations, especially in the midsize segment, cannot sustain long drawn implementation cycles. The need, therefore, is to have an approach that can enable quick ERP implementations and provide immediate benefits.

The Solution: Oracle Business Accelerator (OBA)

Oracle provides the OBA Methodology for implementing the latest Oracle E-Business Suite ERP, which is Scalable, Industry-Specific, and offers the Best-in-Class Functionality for Fast-Growing Companies with Limited Budgets Scalable solutions rapidly integrate with existing applications and hardware investments. Broad industry applications give you built-in, industry-specific functionality. Best-in-class business flows enable rapid business-process changes to meet your challenging business needs

What is Oracle Business Accelerator all about?

The Oracle Business Accelerator (OBA) is an implementation methodology based on a structured configuration tool. It is an industry driven product delivering value to customers across different industry segments. E.g. discrete manufacturing, chemical and process manufacturing as well as project industries. The OBA configuration tool is based outside the system and operates on a question & answer based guided methodology.

Key Differentiators of OBA Methodology

The OBA methodology uses the Accelerator Tool reducing the implementation time by: Quickly creating test instance by providing an easy-to- use online configuration tool Running sample transactions faster than before Reducing risk and quickly transforming your business for increased time-to-benefit. OBA provides a standardized interactive question & answer mode of configuring the Oracle instance offline. This eliminates the need to have hardware or software in place before configuring the base instance. The configuration process can start even before the hardware or software is installed. By the time hardware and software arrives, and software gets installed, you are ready with the configuration step. Then the implementation occurs which will include other aspects such as integration, data migration, report switching, done outside the OBA Tool. The OBA tool is simple to use. It lowers the cost by significantly reducing the time to implement. The time for the baseline configuration can come down by as much as 50-75% and the overall implementation by 25-40%.
