Downtime is the enemy of any business in the digital era. Without business continuity there can be no customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

For organizations that rely on Oracle to keep their operations running smoothly, it’s therefore important to keep up with new software releases, the latest being Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.2.14.

Oracle EBS is a set of integrated business applications with a range of functionalities and modules for managing finances, the supply chain, customer relationships, human resources and more.

What’s new?

According to Oracle, “In EBS 12.2.14, we focused most of our investment on technology and functionality that customers have asked us for. In each product family, we added many new and enhanced features requested by significant numbers of customers.

“In addition, we made improvements to the user experience, including the integration of Oracle JET technology for a more modern interface, and the tighter integration with Oracle Apex, a popular tool for custom development.”

The upgrade promises improvements in financial management and accounting, supply chain management, procurement and inventory management, and reporting and analytics. It also includes an expanded Cash Management Command Center and enhancements to Lease Accounting.

The dangers of falling behind

If your organization remains on an older version of Oracle EBS, you’ll be exposed to security vulnerabilities, an increased risk of data breaches and noncompliance with regulatory requirements.

The performance of your outdated system may also suffer over time, leaving your employees and customers frustrated because of lost productivity and downtime. These systems will eventually struggle to integrate with newer applications and infrastructure, further hindering digital transformation and innovation.

Moreover, a lack of support from Oracle for older versions of EBS means you will no longer have access to critical patches, better analytics and user experiences, and bug fixes. And, if you don’t have skilled resources who are familiar with legacy systems, maintenance and troubleshooting will be even more challenging.
