Oracle Financials Implementation: Brazil - notes for international ERP consultant

Article Title:

Article Body:

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.
<ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in" type="disc">
	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.
	São 
	Paulo & Rio de Janeiro markets.  This is probably where you plan your 
	penetration to begin.  Here we would like you to read our publication on 
	these two gateway markets specifics
