A newly published independent analysis has calculated a dramatic increase in the return on investment (ROI) for Software as a Service projects. It found that SaaS applications provide 3.2x the ROI as on-premises software. The new study, “Cloud Now Delivers 3.2 Times More ROI”, was completed by Nucleus Research. It reflects the dramatic momentum of cloud solutions over the last few years, as more organizations discover the benefits of leaving behind their on-premises systems...

By Arun Khehar, SVP Applications ECEMEA, Oracle Companies have always viewed shared services as cost centres and looked for ways to make them more efficient. The ultimate goal is to convert shared services into a value generator, or at the very least keep the cost of running them to a bare minimum. Why invest heavily in routine tasks that are of marginal strategic value to the business? But while companies have made significant leaps in recent years, the time and money...

Back when I was still a student, my first part-time job was working as a teller for a big bank. In those days (and I’m dating myself, here) automatic teller machines, or ATMs, were a pretty recent innovation. If fact, they were so recent that only a few branches in my hometown had them. My branch wasn’t one of them. As a student, I typically worked evenings and Saturdays, when there might only be two tellers on staff. On a busy evening, customers could easily wait 30 minutes...

They came for the money. They stayed for the innovation. That’s the key finding of our first ERP Top Trends report (a companion to the EPM Top Trends report, which has become an annual tradition). In a survey of more than 400 finance and IT leaders, respondents said they made the move to ERP in the cloud primarily for economic reasons—including the desire to avoid infrastructure investments (45%) and on-premises upgrades (33%), as well as lower TCO (38%). A strong majority of...

By Susan Rebner, Datavail It’s a question we hear quite often in our EPM practice: “When is the right time to start moving my finance functions to the cloud?” Based on the results of a recent Oracle survey, it’s now. Business leaders are always looking for new ways to gain a competitive advantage. Oracle’s 2018 survey of enterprise performance management (EPM) trends found that an overwhelming majority are looking to EPM in the cloud to give them that edge. Learn the top EPM...
