Oracle Financials Implementation: Brazil - notes for international ERP consultant
By Andrew Karasev
Oracle E-Business Suite,
also referred as Oracle Applications/Oracle Financials is competing with other
high-end ERP products, such as SAP R/3 or mySAP. Microsoft with its Microsoft
Business Solutions subdivision is also coming into the competition arena with
Microsoft Dynamics AX/Axapta. In this small article we will be concentrating on
Brazilian MRP market niche with its specifics, challenges and opportunities.
Localization. ERP
localization includes two parameters: local tax compliance and local
language support (in our case Brazilian Portuguese). The most challenging
one is taxes - Brazil, being very large country has unique tax requirements
and ERP compliance is challenging. Currently, among recognized
international brands, the following ERPs have Brazilian tax compliance:
Oracle E-Business Suite, SAP Business One/SAP R/3 mySAP, Microsoft
Axapta/Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Navision/Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Language support is not a problem nowadays, however this was a big question
in the past - all the systems, mentioned above have Portuguese translation.
Corporate
Clientele. Oracle Financials is targeting large clients and also upper
mid-market. The interesting statement is this - in the case of Oracle
Financials - it is easier to sell it to corporate clients, who have
corporate headquarter in Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand. If large
company has 100% Brazilian ground - it probably tends to deploy one of the
"local" solutions, such as Microsiga. Both scenarios have reasonable
arguments - local MRP is good - it is advanced in compliance to local
regulation, at the same time Oracle Applications would allow your
corporation have and retain control over its Brazilian subsidiary, simply by
deploying one or another Oracle E-Business Suite consulting partner - which
is now a commodity.
