Pluspunten: The depth of modules oracle offers is staggering. Apart from standard modules like General Ledger, Accounts Payables, Accounts Receivables, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Customer Relationship Management, Human Resources, Payroll etc.Oracle offers niche modules too.
One may be in any business or industry, oracle may have a specific module which caters to your business or industry.
To give examples, to manage warranties on products, oracle has a module called Oracle Service Contracts which provides a complete contract authoring and execution
solution to manage warranties and extended warranties, usage and subscription
based services, as well as complex service agreements.
Similarly Oracle offers a module called Governance Risk and Compliance which deals with SOX compliance etc and very useful for both internal and external Auditors.

bundled together.

Oracle ERP is in existence since long and over a period of time Oracle mastered many best practices across industries.
In a nut shell Oracle ERP offers a gamut of modules catering to various industries. It is scalable and tightly integrated.

Minpunten: The customer service at Oracle can be improved. Working with Oracle Support is a pain. The module like Oracle iProcurement which touches many end users can be made more user friendly. The Oracle Java forms can be made compatible with all the browsers. Currently chrome browser does not work well with Oracle.

Pluspunten: The dynamic nature of this product makes it a great option for the small and medium enterprises. IT provides the kind of features that were beyond the imagination of a conventional ERP user. The enhanced features like DaaS make this product even more attractive. I also love the alerts functionality!

Minpunten: As long as the programs are completing fine there really seems to be no issue, however in case if there is any issue there seems to be no way to get any comprehensive log. This makes things difficult to debug and to resolve the issue. Not everything sales smooth always!

Opmerkingen: Working for project management we used this for streamlining of processes project wise.

Pluspunten: The best features for the ERP cloud is that storage is very easy and in departments like Project Management multiple people can have access and simultaneously work on the data. Also the interface is user friendly and a lot of support from the Oracle team during implementation phase.

Minpunten: Just the regular java updates it requires and if some entry is made wrong you need to redo the entire work which becomes difficult in projects as there are lot of bill of materials and project schedules.

Opmerkingen: Pretty big program but has its benefits most of all saving things to the cloud for easy access anywhere.

Pluspunten: I love that all parties can access job information in one convenient place. Made transfer of data seamless and quick.

Minpunten: For some reason the web based solution for this would crash often. Seemed to work better toward the end of the job bu I liked the program a lot.
