Feedback


EBS R12 Feedback: From a Leading Analyst

Executive Brief: Oracle E-Business Suite R12October 2006

“In our opinion Oracle's EBS 12 is a significant step

forward in the integrated suite approach to enterprise

applications. The Suite is functionally rich and serves the

global enterprise well. As a tightly integrated suite of

products, businesses will realize significant gains from

the interoperability of the suite environment.”


EBS R12 Feedback: From Our Global Partners

“We found Oracle’s E-Business Suite Release12 to be rich in functionality that our clients need to succeed in today’s business world.”

“Release 12 features will help solve our clients’ biggest business process and industry-specific challenges and we look forward to partnering with Oracle and our joint clients.”

“For many of our clients, sharing services is strategic and we are pleased that Oracle recognizes this as one of the main drivers for changing its E-Business Suite financials architecture to facilitate businesses operating global shared service centers.”

Brian A. Mitchell

Global Business Services

Americas Oracle Practice Lead


EBS R12 Feedback: From Our Global Partners

“Oracle continues to invest in a better user experience in E-Business Suite Financials Release 12 -- from centralized accounting, tax and supplier maintenance to a new user interface.”

“Oracle’s new XML Publisher is visionary and empowers end users. This new capability enables users to create their own reports, minimizing the dependency on the IT staff.”

“Many clients are evaluating whether to upgrade from OracleE-Business Suite 11i to Release 12 or wait for the larger Fusion release. There are significant application & architecture changes in Release 12. Upgrading now will help build the foundation to prepare for Fusion -- maximizing business value while mitigating risk.”
