eprentise and Business Executives

Executive Responsibilities of ERP

You are responsible for corporate strategy and the enterprise vision. As the executive in charge of the overall profitability of the organization and the person responsible for enterprise performance for your stakeholders, you have an obligation to make everything run smoothly, to make sure that everyone has the information that they need, and to do it at the lowest cost. You need your systems to be agile and your IT department to turn on a dime at the speed of light. But, it is difficult to keep your organization and its supporting systems aligned with your constantly changing organization.

Changing the backbone of an enterprise system like Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is like turning a ship around. It’s slow and cumbersome, and maybe even your IT department has told you that what you want can’t be done without hiring an army of consultants, or they submit a budget to bring in new systems that they are working on integrating with your EBS just so you can get the reports that you need. You need a tool to help your over-burdened IT department. You need to make changes quickly. You need complete visibility everywhere in the enterprise, and you need to have the data available to make the right decisions. Your IT department is struggling because there isn’t consistency among all the different lines of business. Maintenance and support of existing systems is costing an arm and a leg, and you don’t know who made the original decision to go with Oracle E-Business Suite. He or she certainly didn’t look at the total cost of ownership, and you haven’t recognized the value or the savings that were sold to the business when you first implemented. Most importantly, even with that army of consultants in place, you still don’t have the information that you need to grow strategically. IT is telling you that they can get the information that you need, but you have another large, expensive project to look forward to. And there’s no guarantee that when you are done with that large project that your business won’t have changed again, and you need to do another large project to make more changes.

How does eprentise help executives?

Large company growth always results in major changes to business processes and usually outpaces the current technology utilized for most segments of the business, creating tremendous inefficiencies, duplication, and inconsistencies across the entire enterprise. Ultimately, this can impact bottom-line profits as well as hinder strategic decision-making, since C-level executives lack a single, consolidated, real-time snapshot of the performance of their organization.

eprentise is a proven solution for large and middle-market domestic or multinational companies from both private and public sectors that currently use EBS. Our software assists companies that are looking to upgrade to R12 or that otherwise need to restructure their business to change configurations, consolidate instances, separate data, or address other significant organizational changes they have experienced since originally implementing EBS. While our solutions are applicable to a wide variety of industry verticals, the pain points we address are common in the manufacturing, technology, health-care, education, mining, energy, financial services, and both federal and local government sectors.

With eprentise software, enterprise applications take on a new value because they now can be used to develop a strategy to undertake major changes like a mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures. The enterprise applications, instead of being the barrier to change that they were, contribute to instituting strategic changes because they provide a global view of the organization, and executives like yourself have access to complete, consistent, and correct information whenever you need it.
