Oracle Accelerate for Midsize Companies

Oracle Accelerate is an approach which helps midsize companies deploy ERP applications rapidly and at a low cost.

Over 280,000 midsize companies run Oracle. Midsize companies buy Oracle for growth. CIO's and CFO's at rapidly growing companies understand that only a Tier 1 ERP solution can both meet the needs of the company’s current size while also having a robust enough foundation in place that will allow the ERP system to grow with an organization

 ERP, Fast Implementation

At the center of this approach are Oracle Business Accelerators - optimized configuration tools that provide:

• Industry and region specific business flows and configuration content
• An online Q&A tool that captures a customer’s specific requirements and personalizes the resulting configuration.

The result is that the vast majority of midsize customers' business needs will be covered without having to customize the application, leading to quicker implementation and faster ROI.

Implementing for Now with the Future in Mind

Every midsize company seeks the optimal balance of flexibility, functionality, and complexity when choosing to deploy a comprehensive, integrated ERP and its associated IT infrastructure.

For midsize companies, too much flexibility can lead to a confusing situation—where do we start? Likewise, a limited footprint—low complexity—can mean operational needs can’t be met.

With Oracle JD Edwards ERP customers can adopt a modular approach. The configuration deployed to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne instance is not locked in stone and can be subsequently changed in any way necessary as the customer’s business changes.

Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Growing companies cannot foresee all possible scenarios associated with expanding products and services or venturing into new global markets. Thus, when selecting an ERP solution, decision-makers must consider how to maintain low TCO in dealing with potential situations that require integrating to third-party applications or developing extensions to core ERP processes.

JD Edwards has moved to a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach which means that JD Edwards customers need only learn one universal toolset for open cooperation with other applications outside the core ERP suite whether integrating to a 3rd-party or other Oracle products.

Top Tier ERP That Is Easy To Maintain

JD Edwards ERP features embedded tools for system-wide configuration and development that are employed both when the software is first implemented and for adjustments in support of ongoing process changes. Through the use of Processing Options, User Defined Codes, Applications Versions, Automatic Programming Interfaces (APIs), and System Constants end users can usually make changes without code modifications. This minimizes the IT resources needed to support interface personalization and application customization.
