Oracle (ORCL) Adds New Functionalities to Fusion ERP Suite


Oracle ORCL recently added new features to its Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions’ suite. The latest features are aimed at facilitating business enterprises to accelerate digital finance transformation.

Among the new functionalities, Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR) will lower manual operations for the business enterprises. The feature boosts the accuracy of invoice scanning and augments touchless processing through new adaptive learning technique. The corrections made by the user in the interactive IDR viewer will enable each invoice to train the algorithms and enhance future recognition, added the tech giant.

Improved Fusion ERP Analytics can add spend and procurement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to its “prebuilt KPI library”. This will enable finance department to optimize spend operations.

EPM Enterprise Journals will help finance teams to simplify the creation, management and posting of journal entries, noted the tech giant. EPM Enterprise Journals automates the process of moving journals from Oracle Cloud EPM to any other cloud/on-premises ERP system, thereby reducing chances of errors as well as improving financial reporting and forecasting.

The Intelligent Performance Management (IPM) Insights’ feature leverages data science to enable users to detect anomalies, biases and trends when analyzing massive financial and operational data. This helps clients to obtain actionable input to make well-informed decisions and bolster financial projection accuracy.
