The last 18+ months have proven to be like no other time in modern history, and it has had a profound effect on the supply chain in the manufacturing industry. This disruption has meant many restless nights worrying about supply chains, workforce agility, capacity planning, resource allocation, and much more for manufacturers. Manufacturers have realized that better planning and preparedness are crucial to adapting to the rapid changes in demand seen in today's current climate. In this webinar, you will learn how to address these challenges head-on as we discuss how your organization can become more agile and scale to your specific business requirements and how Cloud ERP systems can support better planning and preparedness for what's next. ________________________________________ About The Presenter Steve Canter - Director of Global Service Delivery Steve Canter has over 25 years of experience in the information technology industry.

9. • Capacity Planning and Resource Allocation become more challenging as
companies enter new and emerging markets.
• Data system capacity and employee skill sets must continue to increase.
• Millennials tend to be less loyal than Boomers, resulting more job hopping.
• Increasing push into mixed-mode manufacturing, new types of sales
channels, and new product lines is increasing complexity.
• With increasing reliance on technology, business continuity plans become
more crucial.
• Global Supply Chains become more difficult to manage.
• Pricing pressure raises the importance of cutting-edge efficiency

13. Let’s Talk About Cloud
13

14. • Focus company energy on core competencies.
• Easy to grow/shrink/adapt as workloads business strategies, or organizational
changes occur.
• Cloud solutions can more quickly react to regulatory change.
• Cloud systems are built on latest technology with modern user experience
and greatest ability to integrate to other systems.
• By their nature, Cloud systems are more easily extensible to trading partners
without allow them access behind corporate firewalls.
• Moving enterprise data from the factory or warehouse floor results in more
data being available across the enterprise as well as between companies in a
supply chain.
Why Cloud for Supply Chain Systems?

15. • Oracle and other companies are increasingly focusing on Cloud solutions as
their premier ERP/SCM applications
• As a result, these applications are going to have the most robust new
functionality and be better able to respond to modern business challenges
• Companies with large SCM implementations, especially if heavily customized,
are understandably reluctant to move completely to new Cloud applications
• By deploying add-on Edge Cloud applications, fully integrated back to the
traditional on-premises SCM systems, organizations can take advantage of
these new capabilities while retaining their existing systems and “put a toe in
the water” to begin the transition to Cloud ERP solutions.
Migration to Cloud Doesn’t Require Complete ERP Replacement

18. Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises
Product-Centric defined as companies that are primarily in the
business of manufacturing or distribution
Oracle ERP Cloud was the highest-rated vendor across several
categories, such as vision for product strategy for product-
centric enterprises, and geographic strategy.
Oracle has shown success in providing operational cloud ERP
applications augmented with advanced technology.
Oracle’s reference customer scores were among the highest for
quality of technical support, integration technology and
deployment.
Gartner estimates that 95% of live SAP S/4HANA customers
have adopted S/4HANA On-Premise. SAP did not have enough
live Cloud customers to qualify.

27. ERP Assessment and Migration Roadmap Approach
Solutions Planning High-Level Methodology
Our approach ERP systems planning, and Cloud migration divides our methodology into three major project stages. Key questions need to
be addressed within each of these stages of the project to ensure the right overall solution.
Business Strategy Systems Strategy Business Solution
 Where are we?
 What do we have and what are the gaps?
 Where do we want to go?
 What are the issues and challenges?
 What are the opportunities and case for
change?
 What are the business priorities?
 What are the solution options?
 What are the solution benefits and concerns?
 What is our vision and best direction?
 What additional functionality and benefits
will be realized by the business?
 How do we deal with our immediate needs?
 Can the solution support our business?
 What are the gaps and priorities?
 How do we execute this strategy?
 How do we close our gaps and measure progress?
 How do we migrate, manage and support it? Who
does what?
 How much will it cost and why are we making this
investment?
 When will it be done and what resources are needed?
 How do I migrate and what are the
interdependencies and risks?
 What are the sequence of activities and how do I
represent them to the business and leadership?
