Situation

To keep up with rapid business growth, Invenergy invested in several enterprise-grade software applications and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products for asset management, workforce management, and other back-office functions. Several industry-leading systems integrators were involved in ongoing efforts to implement these applications. Automated integration was imperative to ensure that all systems could work cohesively.
With known integration needs between Oracle Cloud Financials and other SaaS products, Invenergy sought a cloud-ready integration platform as an alternative to developing the system from the ground up. None of the originally-proposed solutions met Invenergy’s requirements to:

  • Consolidate its financial and reporting processes;
  • Provide a 360° view of workforce and financial data;
  • Shorten period close timelines and improve audit compliance; and
  • Create a platform to support future integration needs with minimal additional development efforts.
