will get it and get it fast!!’ Consultants As far as the components of the suite itself are concerned Oracle Financials is

a market leader, Oracle HRMS and Payroll they are catching up pretty fast. So the market indications are pretty positive and

you have enough consultants in the market to cash in.UI

Oracle Apps UI comes in two flavours - The Oracle Forms and

the Oracle Self Service Application (HTML). The former is meant for the power user and provides incredibly quick learning

curves for people from the finance and other domains who are used to Fox pro and dBase forms.

The Oracle Self

Service Application is an HTML based solution and specifically caters to the global organization where Internet plays a major

role.Role Based Security Oracle has been a pioneer in Database Security systems and the buzz word of Oracle Database is

‘Unbreakable’.

Oracle Apps seem to gain from this legacy of secure systems. The role based security system

offered by Oracle Apps is one of the better security models available currently.Advantage over Best of Breed Software Best of

breed software cater to specific areas like HRMS,

Financials etc. If your business is looking for software in only

one specific area and you don't think s/w for the other areas are required, you might be tempted to go for these

offering... But one word of caution, in case you go for s/w for other areas where you select another best of breed s/w, you

might end up paying exceptional amount of money in integrating the two softwares. This is where Oracle Apps and other Suite

vendors like SAP score over the best of the breed software. Implementing different parts of the suite would be much less

costly than best of breed software and getting them to talk to each other.Fast adoption of standards By past record Oracle

has a good record of adoption of new

legal and technological standards which keep arising from time to time. So

standards like Rosettanet, uccnet would be adopted as they solidify.

needs.ReportsAnother major USP of Oracle Apps. In fact one single thing that should make you sit back and take notice. Check
