| Criterion | Cloud Improvement Score | Cloud Applications (Release 13 - 20B) | EBS Applications (Release 12.1.x & above) | Rationale for score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application Access : Enabled users, productive users | ||||
| Access to functionalities | |
Access to functionalities is provided based on job or duty roles assigned to the user | Multi-org focused access in which functionalities are available under multiple responsibilities | Moving from complex Functions, menu, and responsibility structures to simplified role-based access. |
| Access to Data | |
Access is controlled using Data Security policies. | Used profile-based access | Enables granular control on Data access |
| Configurations : Easier, simpler, Role centric efficient process for configurations | ||||
| Ease of access to Application configurations | |
Fusion Applications provide a central setup up area from where ALL configurations can be completed | In EBS, setups were tied to each Oracle Application that is to be setup. setup access was therefore available under different responsibilities. | Provides ability to configure, monitor status and control the configuration process |
| Transparency in configuration process | |
Implementation Project captures all configurations to be performed, sequence and dependencies | Setup performed were based on Oracle Setup guide and consultant knowledge | Dependency on consultant knowledge and configuration errors are largely reduced |
| Speed and Accuracy of Configurations | |
Provides Exporting and Importing of configuration. | This feature was not available in EBS. iSetup a module that came very late is not very reliable | Using this functionality, setups can be ported from DEV instance to TEST etc. very quickly |
| Express Rollout | |
Templates can be used for performing express configurations | This feature was not available in EBS | Once a configuration template has been created, roll out of the application using that template for a new Business Unit becomes very quick |
| Connecting Business / Applications : Integration made easy | ||||
| MS Excel Interface | |
Allows use of MS Excel to access and import data | EBS used Desktop Integrator | Excel is an extremely common tool used across industries so no additional training is required |
| Integration Protocols | |
Supports integration using SOAP, XML etc. | EBS did not support these protocols and web services were to be built | Integrations like EDI, Banks Reconciliation, ACH Payments, etc are very simple and quick to implement |
| File-based data import | |
Seeded functionality to upload high volumes of data | EBS used SQL loader | Bulk data load is now handled with better performance |
| Customizations : More flexibility but key feature for code-based customization is not available | ||||
| Look and feel customization | |
Introduces Sandbox where changes are stores in a virtual box, allowing extensive changes to look and feel, etc. | Changes were limited what can be done thru personalization | Facilitating personalized experience to the application is easier to achieve. |
| Code-based customizations |  |
Not available. There are however workarounds | With Database access, custom objects can be created and used | Conventional wisdom says 'Customization' is bad and this 'non-feature', should actually have a positive score. We have seen that it is impossible for most organizations to move to a complete 'Vanilla' system. While the Cloud offers a broad range of API's to extend functionality, lack of access to read-only SQL severely limits the ability to build scalable 'Extensions'. Triniti has pioneered creative solutions to work around this massive wall. But in general, we give this a negative score. |
