Transformative Oracle Insights for the Evolving Enterprise

By: Chenthil Eswaran, BU Head, Enterprise Solutions

Oracle applications, including Oracle Cloud and E-Business Suite (EBS), have long been empowering organizations with robust solutions for managing complex operations. Yet, as these systems grow in sophistication, so too does the challenge of maintaining and optimizing them. This is where Managed Services come into play, offering enterprises a strategic advantage in leveraging Oracle applications to their fullest potential.

Why Managed Services Matter

The management of Oracle applications is often resource-intensive, requiring deep technical expertise, constant monitoring, and a proactive approach to troubleshooting and upgrades.

A Forrester study found that organizations using Managed Services for enterprise applications reduced their operational costs by up to 25% while achieving higher system reliability and agility.

In an era where downtime can cost businesses thousands—if not millions—of dollars per hour, Managed Services provide peace of mind by ensuring applications run at peak performance. Whether it’s around-the-clock support, automated testing, or seamless upgrades, these services empower businesses to focus on innovation rather than maintenance.

EBS: The Need for Modernization and Continuity

While many businesses have migrated to Oracle Cloud, EBS remains a critical component of enterprise architecture for several industries. However, maintaining and modernizing EBS systems can be challenging, particularly as customizations and integrations add complexity. Managed Services address these challenges by:

• Streamlining Customizations: Ensuring that tailored solutions remain functional and aligned with upgrades.

These capabilities allow organizations to extract maximum value from their EBS investments while planning for a smooth transition to the cloud, if and when it aligns with their strategic goals.

The Role of AI and Automation

Managed Services for Oracle applications increasingly incorporate AI and automation to enhance efficiency and decision-making. Predictive analytics, for instance, can forecast performance bottlenecks, while automated workflows reduce manual intervention in repetitive tasks like testing and backups. These advancements not only minimize errors but also enable faster time-to-market, a critical factor in today’s competitive environment.
