Many organisations struggle to make full use of the reporting and analytic tools they implement alongside their Oracle application.
As organisations consider moving from an on premise application platform to the cloud there are a variety of technology choices available to enable greater use of data and analytics.
In this session, Paul Finn will discuss the importance of including reporting and analytics in your Application roadmap, the options available on premise and in the cloud and the considerations to be aware of to maximise the value you derive from your critical business data.
Oracle have announced that R12.2 will be the last major release of Oracle E-Business Suite and that they will be moving to annual ‘Continuous Innovation’ point releases. This will remove the 4 – 5 year major project you need to undertake to get to the next release, but the annual releases will still require analysis, application and regression testing (and that is before you even consider adopting any of the new functionality and features that each release will provide). In this session, Version 1 will outline our EBS-as-a-Service offering and the services we can provide to remove some of the burden of the annual release cycle and help you adopt the latest innovation.
