Situation at County Government Before ERP Cloud

The client is a long-term consumer of Oracle solutions and AST services. They faced a need for software upgrades and recognized that they could “kick the can down the road” (e.g., update Oracle EBS) or move quickly to adopt a full cloud suite. Previously the County had upgraded their on-premises EPM suite to Oracle EPM Cloud with AST, which laid the groundwork for an ERP cloud migration. The County worked exclusively with AST to modernize and migrate their applications to Oracle Cloud SaaS.

Other objectives at County Government included:

  • Increase productivity with expanded automation
  • Review its Chart of Accounts from a system efficiency and reporting perspective
  • Improve internal controls and Segregation of Duties, using enhanced approval workflows and Role-Based Security
  • Support real-time reporting and dashboards for enhanced decision making
  • Enhance data and process-related controls

The client's leadership recognized they would spend money on an upgrade to EBS and face a move to the Oracle Cloud at a later date, or they could move to the cloud, save the cost of the upgrade and never have to upgrade again. Now they are on a platform that best positions the County for the future!"
