About the Company

Companies running Oracle E-Business Suite (OEBS) have particular Oracle-related challenges when they “upgrade” their business at a macro level and want their Oracle instance or instances to follow and support the new “release” of the business. OEBS’s strength is in running the business. The implementation of OEBS is a model of the business’ organization and processes. OEBS was not engineered to make it easy to change certain key aspects of the implementation — the model of the business — for a business “upgrade”.

In the course of implementing OEBS for many organizations, we would find that several years after going live, the business had changed substantially. The complexity of OEBS meant that customers had few options other than re-implementing if they wanted to keep their systems aligned with the business changes. We came up with the mantra of "finished, but not done" to describe the cycle of going live (being “finished”) and then having to go back several years later to re-implement (not done). A series of re-implementations is not only costly, it is unnecessary. eprentise software was architected from the ground up with the purpose of providing enterprise agility to organizations that rely on OEBS for their financials and day-to-day operations.
