Background
Cold War is has
given way to Globalization.. business is done in a collaboration
with customers, vendors, consultants, employees spread all around
the globe. Business
has spread its wings cutting across all geographical and political
boundaries. Sourcing is done from multiple points across the
globe, materials being staged in multiple warehouse points,
manufacturing and assembling done in another point, finished goods
distributed to many points triggering shipments to end users..
This is the top
view of a business to-day, interesting but challenging, complex
but rewarding. 'Grow' and 'Spread' is the call of the day,
You have to grow and cannot afford to confine yourself in a small arena ..
just spread your
wings .. do business anywhere and everywhere .. we will support
you now on. That's a promise
How
we are different – rather totally different - we rolled Oracle
Apps for more than 90 legal entities in 11 countries within a
short span of 10 years
In the Robbins-Gioia Survey on ERP success, out of 232
respondents, 51% viewed their ERP implementation as
unsuccessful.
Unfortunately this failure applies to Oracle too. What is the
core reason of ERP failure? So much manuals and support docs
floating around in web and cloud, Oracle metalink on your side
24x7, Oracle consultants deployed have 5-10 years of ‘full
cycle’ implementation experience, so why? What is the secret of
such proven ‘failure’
The real reason..lot of players including big players are in
Oracle consulting business without knowing ‘client’ business.
Its all about the people and the core people how do they carry
on process study, discuss with business users and churn out the
solution around the Oracle EBS tool.
Oracle EBS is just a tool, just like a pencil, and if you don’t
know how to write a story or draw a picture, pencil won’t help
much, this is the reality, off late many organizations are
realizing after wasting valuable time, resources and money
Of course there are additional failure factors ..just start
playing with client without testing the turf, in the rush
‘closing’ a deal, deploying fresher right from ‘campus
interview’ from any and every ‘private’ colleges, after
offering just a ‘brief’ training if basics, to build the number
for billing man days
It’s a fact, many Oracle consultants had never got the
opportunity of entering into a manufacturing plant, or never
aware of a global supply chain practice, they may not know what
is ‘GAAP’ and how it differs from ‘IFRS’, how exchange rate
variance is taken care, what is the difference between ‘standard
costing’ and ‘average costing’ and how it hits the financial
statements of the client
These are ‘domain’ knowledge, the prowess not developed in ERP
classes or found in User manuals. It comes out of experience
while one works in a domain related industry or an audit
environment, and skill sets developed by professional institutes
at national level, with rigid screening at entry and subsequent
qualification process
So, consultants with good academic background, gathering
knowledge in professional institutes and later in industry are
the real players who deliver Oracle or any ERP application with
a enviable success rate, else it’s may be a disaster
Picking up Oracle technical knowledge is not the real
challenge, it’s the domain knowledge which counts, this is the
truth, this is the empirical reality
Why
we ventured in Oracle Application consulting
A
R Data Consultants [Singapore] [Incorporated in Singapore in
March 1998, ROC No. 52864451C],
has been a leading provider of IT based Business solutions
encompassing the key areas of finance, accounting, supply chain
and manufacturing since 1990 in India
Our Singapore outfit was an extension of Indian operations, when
we initiated operations in Singapore in 1988 for the same
verticals of services, along with our customized Accounting
software for around 50 installation base
Soon, we took note of the emerging ERP market which was fast
replacing the ‘customized software’ space, and it was the time
to venture in and we went for Oracle Application consulting.
With the
launching of java based 11i apps by Oracle Corporation, we fine
tuned our strategy to leverage Business Solutions thru industry
centric Oracle Apps platform with global access from anywhere
everywhere.
Later with the release of Oracle R12 application version, the
solution could keep pace with the globalization space of our MNC
clients. The onslaught of GAAP, IFRS and consolidation
requirements could be addressed with ease and comfort. Month end
and year end closing cycle were shortened, compliance with ever
changing accounting, internal control and audit standards became
possible without manual controls by built in checks and
balances. Supply chain and out resourcing became easy
Our
belief and commitment is the root of our success – Oracle is
just a high tech tool, first is business knowledge, then deploy
this tool, winning clients is just a logical consequence
We realized that without an in-depth knowledge of Industry,
business, finance, global consolidation, audit compliance skills
and GAAP accounting standards, ERP initiative will be a big
mess for our valued clients
This ‘wisdom of consequences’, our base theme, has paid rich
dividend and hence till date we have achieved 100% success rate
in our roll outs and have won repeat orders from reputed MNC
accounts, in this process we have learned a lot too, which we
share with ongoing and future roll outs and support
Our key consultants carry the legacy of qualifying from
national level reputed institutes, working in MNC and Big four
audit outfits before venturing in the ERP consulting world
