Oracle Corporation: Technology Integration Group Selects Oracle Over SAP, Microsoft and Infor to Drive Enterprise Transformatio

[ Technology Integration Group ] (TIG), a premier computer systems integrator and IT solutions consultant, chose Oracle over SAP, Microsoft and Infor to support future growth, gain enterprise-wide access to information and improve its service organization.
After conducting a comprehensive evaluation of multiple vendors, TIG found Oracle to be the best choice because of the integrated business intelligence capabilities built into Oracle's ERP applications, as well as Oracle's best-in-class [ CRM On Demand ] offering.
A midsize company, TIG will replace a 12-year old character-based ERP system from Forte with the [ Oracle® E-Business Suite Release 12.1 ]. The company plans to deploy Oracle's customer relationship management (CRM), financials, projects, channel revenue management and supply chain management (SCM) applications as well as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
The company will also retire an outdated CRM system from Astea and deploy Oracle CRM On Demand.

Modernized Systems Will Deliver More Complete Information and Improve Service

The Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 will provide TIG with integrated analytics from [ Oracle Business Intelligence Applications ] including Oracle Financial Analytics, Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics, Oracle Project Analytics and Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics, which are prebuilt intelligence solutions that deliver insight into key business processes. As a result, the company will be able to make proactive real-time decisions that will help improve customer service.
With TIG's legacy CRM solution, the company's sales reps managed and maintained customer data using excel spreadsheets. With Oracle CRM On Demand, customer and sales information will be centralized and pipeline tools will help the sales team manage and track the progress of the sales cycle.
Using [ Oracle Field Service ], TIG will be able to dispatch instant, automated information to its field reps so that they can provide timely information to customers and better manage timelines and customers' expectations.
[ Oracle Project Management ] will give TIG visibility and control in order to plan projects effectively, allocate resources and forecast to completion, while managing customer expectations.
As a reseller of most of the major hardware and software vendors, [ Oracle Channel Revenue Management ] will be critical in helping TIG gain complete fund management capabilities, enabling the sales force to view planned, committed, earned and paid sales.
Relying on [ Oracle Depot Repair ], TIG will be able to manage its efforts with Dell to provide K-12 schools and school districts with refurbished laptops. Oracle Depot Repair will help streamline and automate the entire in-house repair and service process for TIG.
