Oracle E-Business Suite:

Supporting the New Global

Enterprise


An Oracle White Paper
August 2005




-

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Were living in an age of globalization, ushered in by the forces of technology,
the real-time availability of information, and the rise of new economic
powerhouses such as India and China. In this new age, national boundaries are
collapsing as labor, R&D, and money flow seamlessly around the world to those
companies offering the best return on investment.

To stay on top of their game, companies must adopt new strategies to win over
global consumers, recruit professional talent worldwide, and source from the
lowest-cost nations. They must deploy the right infrastructure to manage their
global operations in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. And finally,
they need to produce accurately, timely information across the enterprise to
meet the increasingly complex tax and regulatory reporting requirements need
to support global operations, as well as address investor demands for greater
transparency and accountability.

As a business expands into new geographic markets, its faces the challenge of
supporting operations for a multinational enterprise. Today, most global
companies operate with local systems scattered all over the world. Successful
businesses, however, shift to global systems. Global systems provide better
access to information; decrease compliance risks and support costs savings
initiatives like shared service centers.

With operations in 145 countries supporting over 23,000 applications customers
worldwide, Oracle knows the kind of business systems and strategies the most
successful companies are adopting to succeed in the new global economy. This
white paper summarizes those strategies and Oracles comprehensive approach
to globalization. The paper also offers a detailed examination of the global
functionality built right into the Oracle E-Business Suite to ensure that
customers have the flexibility and scalability required to operate globally, while
successfully addressing local business and regulatory requirements.

A NEW GLOBAL ECONOMY

We came to India for the costs, we stayed for the quality, and now were investing for the
innovation.


BusinessWeek, August 22, 2005

Dan Scheinman
Senior Vice President for Corporate Development, Cisco, Inc.
BusinessWeek, August 2005

The above quote illustrates the emergence of a new global economy where
borders, workers, and consumers are increasingly seamless. Not only do global
giants like Cisco and Motorola source much of their R&D and manufacturing
out of Asia, but they know that in order to stay competitive they have to adopt
new strategies to win global consumers, recruit professional talent worldwide,
and source from the lowest-cost nations.

The new world economy is not only impacting the operational strategies of
American companies, but is also influencing their source of profits. In 2004,
foreign operations accounted for 30 percent of all U.S. corporate profits and 58
percent of the increase in earnings growth, and that percentage is expected to
rise exponentially as U.S. multinationals like Cisco and Motorola continue to
invest heavily in their overseas affiliates.
2
For analysts like the Boston
Consulting Group, the success of not just American companies but all global
multinationals will be determined increasingly by their ability to fully mobilize in
emerging powerhouses such as India and China; those without a global strategy
or presence will be left by the wayside.

As companies move to operate globally, Oracle knows that it is important for
managers to rely on their core business practices to define their global strategies,
develop their global corporate culture, and establish global processes, rather
than being driven by IT considerations. We also know that it is critical to
establish the right IT infrastructure to support global processes, while retaining
the flexibility to support a myriad of local regulations.

Oracle E-Business Suite enables companies to pursue global opportunities and
transition their companies to a global model to run their worldwide enterprise
optimally. Oracle provides a global solution that will meet both worldwide and
local business practices, taking into consideration corporate level needs and
subsidiary level constraints, while allowing for future growth of the global
enterprise.

Once companies start utilizing Oracle E-Business Suite to meet their global
objectives, they will see an increase in the quality and visibility of their business
information, which will drive to more time-efficient and intelligent business
decisions. Oracle E-Business Suite is a truly global solution, as we design and
build every feature with a global perspective.

ORACLES GLOBALIZATION STRATEGY
Practicing What It Preaches: The
Oracle Billion-Dollar Story In
1998, Oracle embarked on a shared
services center strategy, establishing
service centers in California, India,
and Australia as the hubs of its
finance operations. Finance and
business processes were automated,
streamlined and standardized across
the globe, improving data integrity
and business intelligence. Group
operations are now fully-comparable
and a single instance of Oracles
financial applications software gives
a single version of financial and non-
financial truth.

Oracle is on track to save over $2
billion since 1998, more than paying
for the cost of the new system.
Finance headcount has fallen by a
quarter and total finance and
accounting costs have declined by 30
per cent. Thanks to self-service, local
accounts teams have downsized and
now concentrate mainly on strategic
purchasing and payroll matters.
Better risk management and
transparency mean cheaper capital
costs, too. Finance directors,
meanwhile, are free to concentrate
on business.

Consolidated group financial
information is readily available to
meet new compliance mandates.
Reporting cycles are shorter,
operational reviews and audits are
easier, and new acquisitions are
integrated much faster. Managers
can collect, consolidate and
communicate information at any
time. Oracle has become a more
agile, flexible, confident business
and the system has helped in
building a strong culture of
compliance and accountability.

.
Oracles globalization strategy is simple: deliver a single, seamless solution that
allows our customers to run their business efficiently and effectively, regardless
of where they do business. Customers using Oracle applications strategy have
the ability to continuously improve their business processes and maximize their
business growth potential, leveraging the latest tools and technologies to buy or
sell anything to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

The product development focus of Oracle E-Business Suite is on global
companies doing business worldwide. Functionality is designed to help
companies compete globally, while managing their businesses locally. Market
specific features are delivered in a single code set with the standard products,
simultaneously to all markets.

Oracle's approach to globalization ensures support for many local requirements,
while allowing efficient, consistent business practices across the enterprise.
Oracle E-Business Suite supports 30 languages in a single instance
infrastructure with scalable applications, including inherent support for
Unicode. Customer investments are protected through global support and
automatic upgrades.

With over 23,000 applications customers operating in 145 countries, Oracle has
years of proven experience helping customers understand and address the
complexities of operating globally. Our own internal implementation of the
Oracle E-Business Suite is additional proof that moving to a single global data
model and standardized business processes can provide companies with the
flexibility, responsiveness, and information they need to compete in todays fast-
moving global markets.

Oracles globalization strategy is based on three simple principles outlined
below: streamline business processes; consolidate business information; and
comply with local, national, and international regulatory requirements.


Streamline Business Processes
Reduce operational costs and improve efficiencies by utilizing:
- Self service applications to eliminate non-value add activities

The selection of the right enterprise business application to support a
companys globalization strategy and future business requirements is critical to
their continued survival and success.
Moving to the very latest Oracle
application technology--Financials 11i--
has enabled Sun to globalize business
processes, consolidate multiple instances
of Oracle, curtail the need for
customization, and implement business
and IT operational efficiencies that were
previously unattainable. As a result,
Sun has achieved simplification and
significant savings in our IT expenses
and resource requirements." -- William
Vass, VP of Corporate Software
Services IT, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle E-Business Suite provides a flexible and comprehensive solution that
enables companies to run their worldwide business, while also supporting their
local business practices.

Multiple Language Support (MLS). Oracle E-Business Suite allows for an
unlimited number of languages that can be run concurrently on a single
instance, supports multiple character sets, and produces multilingual
documents. In other words, we provide the ability to have different users
running the same software, on the same database, in different languages.
MLS has many components, including user interface, external documents
(printing invoices in local language), and descriptions in different
languages.

Currency Management. Oracle E-Business Suite provides tools to
support statutory and legal reporting requirements when using many
currencies.
Local Practices. Oracle E-Business Suite supports global and local
business processes through features such as a flexible chart of accounts,
tax-reporting ledger, shared service capabilities, inter-company tracking
and multiple organizations. It also provides support for country-
specific functionality to meet national requirements in areas such as
taxation, accounting practices, assets, and reporting.
Flexible Date Formats & Multiple Radix Support. Oracle E-Business
Suite allows users to enter and view dates in any national format and
enter and view numbers in the radix format appropriate to the country
of operation. For example, a U.S. user might enter the number
5,000.29, which a German user subsequently views as 5.000,29.
LG.Philips LCD invested US$21.9
million in an Oracle-based enterprise
resource planning solution to
integrate and automate its
international manufacturing
operations, and an additional US$4.0
million on a new Oracle-based
human resources management
system. In total, over a five-year
period, IDC project LG.Philips
LCD will realize US$104.7 million in
gross benefits from the ERP and
HR projects combined.

IDC Research ROI Study

Unicode Character Set Support. Oracle E-Business Suite supports the
Unicode UTF8 character set. Run any combination of languages,
including complex text layout and ideographic languages, in an Oracle
Applications UTF8 installation.
Descriptive Flexfields (DFF). Oracle E-Business Suite provides a
tailorable expansion space on your forms. With this facility, a global
enterprise can capture additional information for tracking purposes that
is unique to that business.
Multiple Organizations Structures. Oracle E-Business Suite organization
models define organizations and the relationships among them. This
multi-organization model defines how transactions flow through different
organizations and how those organizations interact with each other. These
organizational features facilitate modeling your family of companies and
business in the Oracle system.
Streamline business processes by reducing operational costs and
improving efficiencies

Global Processes. All the elements of Oracle E-Business Suite are
engineered to work together to automate end-to-end business
processes, across both front- and back-office operations. To improve
Oracle Confidential page 8
-
efficiencies, Oracle recommends defining global processes to
streamline every area of your business i.e. marketing, sales, service,
contracts, order management, procurement, supply chain,
manufacturing, financials, projects, human resources, and professional
services automation.
Shared Services. Oracle E-Business Suite facilitates storing the data of
many organizations within the same database instance, providing both
consolidated repository of data, and the potential geographical separation
of the data processors, the data owners and the data. It allows companies to
set up remote (eg. India) shared services to centralize operational
processing, liberating other areas of the enterprise to focus on strategic
initiatives.
Workflow Automation. Oracle provides workflow to automate business
practice rules such as approvals, alerts and complex routines such as those
involved in the financial close. For example, it can handle different types
of workflow processes automatically such as requisition and expense
approvals, thus minimizing manual administration.
Self-Service Applications. Oracle provides self-service applications so
companies can reduce non-value add activities by individuals,
increasing productivity and reducing overall operating costs. Oracle
Self-Service applications also enable collaboration with trading partners
beyond the traditional enterprise boundaries:
- Oracle iSupplier enables secure, self-service business
transactions between companies and their suppliers through
the internet. This allows a supplier to provide better customer
service at a lower cost.
- Oracle iReceivables enables a companys customers and
employees to use and access Receivables data. Customers can
perform extensive inquiries, dispute bills, pay invoices, and
review current account balances online.

Web Single Sign-On. Oracle Single sign-on addresses the problem of
users having to remember multiple passwords. It provides a mechanism
for users to gain access to multiple applications for which they are
registered users by entering a single username and password.
Oracle Confidential page 9
-
Business Flows. Oracle supports the trend for operational management
to cross the traditional application boundaries (i.e. accounts payable,
accounts receivable) and instead use common, cross-discipline
processes to model their business flows.
Touchless Transaction Flows. Oracle enables businesses to automate
business processes across all functional areas. This includes straight-
through processing in treasury, online real-time credit checking, online bill
presentment and payment in receivables, and online invoice presentment
in payables.

Consolidate Business Information to produce high-quality information

Common Data Model. Oracle E-Business Suite is the first and only
comprehensive set of applications for the enterprise that are integrated
around a single, common data model. Oracles unified information
architecture consolidates data from Oracle and non-Oracle applications
and allows a consistent definition of customers, suppliers, partners,
employees, and all business entities across the enterprise. You can create a
single global definition so that everyone, worldwide, is accessing the same
data. Oracles single, common data model ensures accurate and consistent
information and transaction flows across all applications. Oracle is also
providing configurable processing engines that will handle the specific
needs of processes that are shared across multiple applications. For
example, a common tax engine can accommodate purchase orders from
purchasing, invoice processing from payables and expenses, and receipt
processing from receivables. All these applications can perform consistent
tax processing from a common resource, offering a coordinated approach
to global operations.
Global Single Instance. Oracle technology allows companies to
consolidate their database instances so they can have greater flexibility,
manageability, and scalability of their existing and future worldwide
operations. Some key benefits:
- Consolidated Technical and System Administration. A single
instance of Oracle E-Business Suite allows a company to
consolidate technological resources and maintain a single point
Oracle Confidential page 10
-
for administration and support of the entire system, which in
effect reduces costs.

- Consistent User Interface. In a single instance of Oracle E-
Business Suite, all users in a multinational company throughout
the world use the same windows, forms, and reports. This greatly
improves the communication between subsidiaries and individual
users, and improves the process flows between different
organizations in the company.

Installation of Oracle E-Business Suite. In a single instance of Oracle
E-Business Suite, installation, maintenance, and upgrades are managed
with greater ease and efficiency.

Of course, consolidated database instances also provide more complete
information, accessible in real time. The advantages of real-time business
information will be discussed in the following section.

Consolidations: Global enterprises must consolidate financial
information at both a detail and a summary-level, with the ability to
perform drill-downs to the transaction level. Oracle Financial
Consolidations Hub brings together financial data from disparate
sources to create a single a single, global view of financial information
across the entire enterprise. Data transformation and validation
procedures ensure that information is automatically standardized while
providing complete audit trails from consolidated totals to original
source balances. A simple framework allows you to tailor the steps in
your consolidation cycle, whether the same process should be applied
across the entire hierarchy or special procedures are necessary for
different sub-consolidations. This allows you to consistently codify
standard and repeatable business processes, reducing manual
intervention and minimizing the opportunities for error and
misstatement.
Corporate Performance Management. Corporate Performance
Management (CPM) is a concept that encompasses business activities
across planning and budgeting, consolidation, analysis, and monitoring:
Its where strategic planning intersects with the ability to execute,
measure, and act upon results. A few of Oracles Corporate
Oracle Confidential page 11
-
Performance Management products are: Balanced Scorecard,
Enterprise Business Planning & Budgeting, Activity Based
Management, Financial Analyzer, Sales Analyzer and Demand
Planning.
- Oracle Balanced Scorecard helps customers design, develop,
and deploy custom corporate performance management
solutions. With Balanced Scorecard, managers can better
communicate strategic objectives, align organizational
objectives and resources, and proactively monitor key
performance indicators.

- Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting controls the
business processes of planning, budgeting, forecasting,
monitoring, and analysis, integrating performance management
with personal accountability. Enterprise Planning & Budgeting
provides finance and business managers with the right
information and self-service tools to help them understand the
business better, control the planning process, and tune plans to
improve results.

- Oracle Activity-Based Management is an enterprise application
that provides accurate cost information to managers. Managers
use Oracle Activity-Based Management to improve
profitability and examine resource allocations. Oracle Activity-
Based Management goes beyond traditional cost allocation,
and enables companies to model the complexity of costs based
on activities, materials, resources, and product or service
components.

- Oracle Financial Analyzer is a flexible analytical tool, which
allows companies to manage financial reporting, analysis,
analyze performance metrics, evaluate risks and opportunities,
and formulate future direction.

- Oracle Sales Analyzer is a decision support application that
provides a wide range of tools for ad hoc analysis and
distribution of sales and marketing information.

Oracle Confidential page 12
-
- Oracle Demand Planning is a tool that allows global
companies to generate accurate demand forecasts in an
internet-based collaborative environment, incorporating
information from sales marketing, operations, and customers.

Comprehensive cross-functional business application. Oracle E-
Business Suite is a comprehensive set of enterprise-wide business
applications that work together to deliver integrated, cross-functional
business processes:
Corporate Performance
Management
Customer Relationship
Management
Financial Management Human Capital Management
Procurement Project Management
Supply Chain Management

Deliver timely up-to-date and real-time business information
A single complete data model enables companies to get better information out
of their system and also benefit from consistent, accurate, and enterprise wide
data. With data stored in one place, you can run all your applications on a single
instance, thus reducing IT expenses (i.e. software interfacing, data translation,
and integration).

Daily Business Intelligence. Oracles comprehensive suite of
applications deliver an integrated intelligence that spans across all areas
of your business and provides information that everyone in your
organization can use including executives, managers, employees,
customers, suppliers, and partners. Business Intelligence information is
displayed in a customizable portal, to give up-to-the-minute intelligence
on the relevant information needed for an effective response to market
conditions.
Daily Business Intelligence is made possible since the E-Business Suite
can be run on a single global instance, allowing the maintenance of
enterprise data in one place. With fewer instances, it is easier to share
information across organizations, enabling better cooperation and
greater productivity. Daily Business Intelligence delivers an instant
snapshot of your companys business (i.e. daily profit and loss views,
Oracle Confidential page 13
-
financial balances) so that fact-based real-time decisions can be made to
drive change and increase efficiency. The Business Intelligence application
resides in the same system as real-time operational data, so there is no
delay in accessing all the information needed for critical decisions.
Oracle Daily Business Intelligence empowers managers to stay on top of
the critical activities of their organization. DBI offers enhanced visibility
by providing enterprise-wide performance information daily. DBI enables
managers to maximize performance and opportunities, identify potential
issues earlier, and address them before they escalate.
