Oracle has generated more than $12 billion in cloud software sales over the past year. With software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions gaining significant demand in the ERP world, it’s no surprise that Oracle constantly seeks to enhance its offerings with strategic acquisitions to benefit its customers.
Enterprise technology is pivoting to the Cloud. Customers that have been using on-premises ERP solutions, such as Oracle E-Business Suite, are evaluating their path forward. This shift in technology is exciting, but offers unique challenges to both functional and IT users as they move to a SaaS model. Is your team ready to undertake a migration to the Cloud? How can you be sure your team takes the most expedient path to adopting Cloud technologies?
Congratulations to Scott H. for earning recognition as AST’s August 2016 Employee of the Month!
A thorough understanding of the business needs and the proper balance between an organization’s people, processes, and technology are critical components to the successful integration of Business Intelligence and Data Analytics solutions. In order to reach this state, face-time with the appropriate business counterparts is essential. If time isn’t taken to understand what the technical teams and business teams both need out of a solution, the chances for adoption are greatly reduced. Visually appealing functionality only goes so far; the solution must answer the critical questions being asked of the business, otherwise, you may see users reverting to older, less effective methods.
Congratulations to our Middleware, EPM, BI, and ERP teams for earning a total of 19 new certifications since our last announcement!
