Situation

Although this energy company had already been using Oracle’s world-class Cloud Purchasing, Cloud Inventory, and Cloud Financials applications, users lacked full understanding of the Oracle Cloud modules. With only minimal training and knowledge transfer, employees were required to write and execute test scripts on their own, leading to incorrect execution of test scripts, misleading and erroneous results, and a significant backlog of issues.

The organization sought to centralize its Cloud Applications and gain more understanding, leading to greater efficiency and improved business operations. Primary objectives included:

  • Streamlined processes related to manufacturing, material planning, and procurement and resource usage
  • Elimination of inefficiencies due to unavailable and untimely data
  • Access to real-time production, material management, and accounting information for Plant Controllers and other SMEs

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work on pulling together the reports training… you put a lot of work into developing and delivering the training and I’ve heard very good feedback about the reports training from users.”
