Oracle Cloud EPM Account Reconciliation Improves Financial Close and Replaces Custom Tools.

Vetsource’s initial Oracle ERP Cloud implementation did not meet the demands and requirements of the growth of our business.  Our new parent company requires a new Accounting Calendar, and to meet their 3-day close schedule. Vetsource previously operated on a 14-day closing schedule. We had to find a way to improve the system, aid the end users, supply our customers, and meet the parent company's requirements.   

Vetsource re-implemented Oracle ERP Cloud improving the system, processes, and team. This allowed us to complete the financial period close on time, faster, more effectively, and with better data.  This session will cover how we worked to be a more efficient Fusion Financials user at Period End, including what business processes and system changes we installed to meet our parent company's requirements.

Jeff Hare - ERP Risk Advisors

​Oracle’s leading-edge ERP and HCM applications are paving the way for digital transformation in the market. However, will all Software as a Service (SaaS) applications introduce some measure of cyber security risk. Organizations are having to consider enterprise application security implications outside the safety of their corporate fire. Compliance, cyber-security, data security, fraud, and operational risks all must be considered in a new way.

This session will discuss how to approach Secure and Compliant in an Oracle ERP and HCM Cloud Implementation. We will address the question of what security considerations need to be considered. The presentation will cover fully customized roles, how to enable audit policies, well defined governance, change control processes, training security administrators, configurations User Groups, Passwords, Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).  

Additionally, we will also address the systemic biases introduced by how System Integrators bid projects and awarded controls.  This presentation will challenge the core of the status quo and empower clients to effectively bid-out implementations, award vendor contracts, execute projects to complete their initiatives on time, on budget, meeting their functional specifications with the secure and compliant needed.
