Oracle Financials Implementation in Brazil – consultant review, plus competition  by: Arthur Ferretti Among the major international ERP brands, localized for Brazilian market we should mention SAP with its recently localized product: SAP Business One, Oracle: Oracle E-Business Suite/Oracle Financials/Oracle Applications, Microsoft Business Solutions Navision (Microsoft Dynamics NAV) and Axapta (Microsoft Dynamics AX) – Axapta localization is scheduled to be available in 2006. In this small article we will concentrate on Oracle E-Business Suite Brazilian localization highlights and its competition. Oracle Financials: • Standard Functionalities – they automate business processes common in all countries, so these are used Worldwide. Globalization Code ‘JG’ is located in Globalization product ares • Regionalized Code – for Americas it is ‘JL’ • Brazilian Localization – the code is ‘JLBR’ Competition: SAP Business One. When we are talking about mid-size and small companies (10-300 employees), we would like to give some comparison on how SAP resolves localization, especially language and tax code issue • New modern system. SAP decided just purchase the newly designed system from software development company in Israel. New system name is SAP Business One, the purchase happened 4 years ago (we are writing in 2005) and currently SAP Business One has 8,000 installations worldwide. • Simplified Language switch conception. You switch languages by pressing two keys on your keyboard • Tax Code. Object oriented approach, well, one could expect pure object oriented design for the tax code, where tax engine itself is superobject, containing the hierarchy of subobjects. It is not that elegant, but still the SAP Business One conception is nice. As it is now implemented for Brazil – it should give a good prototype for implementation for another ‘unique’ tax engine – India. Competition: Microsoft Business Solutions. Here we have several systems to be the workhorse on the Brazilian MRP market: Great Plains, Solomon, Navision and Axapta. Currently Navision is localized and the localization is supported by MBS, plus Axapta localization, as we mentioned above is on the way to be released Please give as a call São Paulo 55-11-3826-3449, USA 1-866-528-0577, 1-630-961-5918! help@albaspectrum.com About The Author Arthur Ferretti is Great Plains specialist in Alba Spectrum Technologies ( http://www.albaspectrum.com ) – Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, Microsoft CRM Partner, serving clients in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Recife, Manaus, Lisboa, Coimbra, Porto, Cascais and having locations in multiple states and internationally help@albaspectrum.com This article was posted on November 22, 2005   View More Videos from the "Computers and Internet" category: Sharing Recipes with Epicurious: Working with Recipes on Epicurious Swine Flu Scare, Spammers and Phishing Attacks How to Setup Your Twitter AOL, ESPN and New York Times Go After Hyperlocal Online Business   Read More Articles from the "Computers and Internet" Category: Boot Camp-Troubleshooting Hardware Bootup Problems by Keith Park Top 10 Powerful free Domain Name Tools by Edwin John How To clean your Case by Ray Geide How Google Maps Listings Useful for Local Users by SEO Hunts Ten Ways (plus 1) to Save on Printer Ink and Toner Cartridges by Larry Andrew SharePoint Server 2010 Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) by Adrian Gates Hickory Dickory Clock by Robert Thatcher Get Identified Under Your Skin! by Chris N.
