Oracle

Oracle is the 3^rd largest software company in the world, and is a leading provider of ERP software.

The Oracle eBusiness Applications Suite is used in over 150 countries. In recent years, Oracle has typically been the underpinning technology platform to enable full scale finance transformation, such as process standardisation, the migration to a new target operating model such as shared services, and to support the shift in focus of finance’s role as a custodian of the numbers to one of decision support.

SystemsAccountants has focused on the provision of Oracle Applications resource since 2001, having undertaken over 300 Oracle Financials and Oracle Applications recruitment assignments during this time.

The role of SystemsAccountants has been to act as a conduit to access the best available independent and interim resource to deliver services to each programme, such as: programme management; QA; PMO; Oracle design, build, test & deployment; change & communications; process & shared services architecture; knowledge transfer; and transition management.

One of the largest Oracle programmes we have provided resource partnering services to was Orange Business Services’ Finance transformation programme to which we provided over 30 Oracle resources. Orange engaged SystemsAccountants to provide:

• A Programme Director to scope plan and deliver the ERP Project and manage the Systems Integrator.

• A mixed team of permanent and contract resource to support the design and deployment programme across the following Oracle modules:

- Accounts Receivable

- Cash Management

- Fixed Assets

- Reporting

- Project Accounting
