Oracle OpenWorld 2019 – ITC Booth #1023

IT Convergence Booth #1023 at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco September 16 – 19, 2019

By 2020, enterprises that have successfully modernized their core ERP will achieve a 75% improvement in IT response agility and cost-to-value outcomes.

By 2022, at least 70% of global enterprises will have revisited their single-instance ERP approach because it is not responsive enough to meet requirements for digital business transformation.

ERP will remain a key part of the digital strategy but must evolve to enable a digital platform.

There is no “right” choice when it comes to ERP delivery models. A “one size fits all” approach to ERP leaves many complex and global organizations struggling to balance their diverse priorities.

Moving to the cloud by itself does not make you a digital business. Nor does retaining some capabilities on-premises make you a Luddite.

Modernizing your ERP to drive innovation and deliver business value is a journey that should be custom-tailored to your unique IT & business needs based on what differentiates you.

Meet with our experts at Booth #1023 and discuss how best to:

Develop the modernization approach in phases that allows you to maintain operations while upgrading the pieces.
Identify core processes requiring optimization and automation as part of modernization
Strategically move business capabilities to cloud solutions and services to provide agility, flexibility and improved functionality.
Realign ERP resources based on your strategy — investigate cloud or managed services as an option to outsource ERP processes that do not provide differentiation.
Create a mature Integration Strategy that is agile, cross-boundary and scalable to support the innovation requirements of postmodern ERP
Streamline and improve financial processes and operations in support of transformational business strategy: modern FMS supports business model innovation, improved user collaboration and upgraded usability via strong data visualization.
Achieve operational efficiencies with innovative technologies like RPA, AI, IoT, machine-learning embedded into your ERP platform
Get deeper insights and improve decision making by consolidating structured and unstructured data from multiple sources

Our team of experts & Oracle ACE Directors will be holding exclusive Oracle OpenWorld sessions throughout the event. Read more here.
