- That basically depends on your previous experience or qualification. It should be in sync. You cannot choose a career in finance if you are from HR background. Though, both Oracle Finance and SCM has huge prospect in terms of career and global market. Both has huge number of implementation going around in the world. But if you use your previous experience with proper option, it will make you career more bright and exponentially growing.
- If you are from finance background then you must go with Oracle Finance. Like if you are from B.Com background or if you have work experience in financial domain. You can choose Oracle Financial (R12 or Fusion). Similarly if you are engineering background or production or manufacturing, you can go for SCM.
I have worked on Finance and Supply Chain module. If you ask me, all modules have a good scope in future. Be it Oracle Transportation, Supply Chain, Finance, procurement, manufacturing etc. None of the modules are dying any soon.
But one thing would change is technology, the market is changing quickly. Analytics, block Chain, AI, Oracle SOA and Yes, Oracle Fusion, they are the future of Oracle Apps.

- Well, since you didn't really mention about the path that you choose in Oracle Apps SCM, let me provide the pre-requisites for all three.
- There are no specific prerequisites for getting trained in Oracle SCM. However, functional knowledge on Messaging, Web Service, and SOA is an added advantage.
A way to learn is go to an IT Training Institute which teaches Oracle Apps SCM. In my view best place to learn would be in Mumbai, India. Where you can get comprehensive and complete training in less than USD $1000 (roughly 30 classes of 2 hours of theory and 2 hrs of practicals including stay and living expenses) does not include your airfare. Basic accounting knowledge still applies here.
Our course ware is designed to give a hands-on approach to the students in Oracle Apps SCM. The course is made up of theoretical classes that teach the basics of each module followed by high-intensity practical sessions reflecting the current challenges and needs of the industry that will demand the students’ time and commitment.
Nowadays Oracle Apps SCM is in high demand. Oracle Application is a good skill once you are fluent in the work you are doing. Technically, you will not learn that much apart from some plsql, query making etc. It is suggestible to move to OAF, ADF work as well. Also everything is moving to Cloud so is Oracle Apps.
If you already do programming, it’s a little harder, as you will need to learn both the basics and “thinking in SQL”. I found as a hard core C++ programmer, some parts of SQL for me, even after 17 years, are “read only”. I’m really good at analyzing SQL, not as much necessarily as writing it, but that’s because to program Oracle EBusiness Suite you need to know not just the tables, but the setups.
Logisticians oversee important phases of a product's life, including allocation, distribution, and delivery. The demand for logistics is currently at an all-time high, so if you hope to find steady, high-paying work, this might be the career for you.
Detailed below are 10 excellent reasons to pursue a career in logistics and supply chain management.
Why Oracle SCM? Why Now?
An agile supply chain that can pivot when the unexpected hits is the holy grail – but legacy, on-premise supply chain technology can be too rigid to support today’s demand-driven marketplace. Oracle SCM cloud offers an end-to-end solution for enhanced supply chain agility, integration, and responsiveness to fluctuations in demand. In Apps Associates reveals the real ROI to be gained from an effective transitioning to Oracle SCM Cloud.
Ways to Future-Proof Your Supply Chain
What will supply chains look like in the future?
- People envision unmanned vehicles zipping around crowded streets and overhead drones dropping packages on doorsteps. Whilst autonomous delivery will certainly be part of the future supply chain, the most meaningful changes are taking place behind the scenes: Modern cloud applications for supply chain management (SCM) are helping supply chains transform so they can flex and respond as new technologies emerge and customer expectations change.
- Supply chains are the backbone of product-centric companies and have the greatest potential to affect overall performance, for better or worse. In fact, the World Economic Forum reports that 75 percent of manufacturing, logistics, and retail businesses expect a positive financial impact from digital technologies in their supply chains.
- Data and connectivity are core to the ability of companies to serve increasingly demanding customers. Online consumers have come to expect personalized service and rapid response in all purchase channels. Similarly, business leaders want highly responsive and more agile supply chains that can rapidly process customer orders and fulfill them according to customer expectations.
What changes should organizations make to ensure their supply chains stay competitive?
Commit to modernizing with cloud
- Replacing siloed legacy systems and processes with connected cloud applications is the first step toward achieving an agile and responsive supply chain.
- On-premises SCM applications are typically limited in scope and rarely designed to support fast-and-informed order fulfillment. As a result of their siloed information structures, users typically lack complete visibility into all supply chain processes and can’t easily share information among functions to allow everyone to quickly and easily adjust for changes.
- By contrast, an end-to-end cloud platform of connected SCM applications creates a digital thread that connects products, services, and assets with customers, employees, and partners. The result is comprehensive and real-time visibility, communication, and control.
- Oracle SCM Cloud’s modern architecture inherently does this, and our customers have provided numerous proof points about value.
six characteristics of adaptive and agile supply chains:
Powerful cloud-based applications
Modern supply chains use cloud solutions to:
- Work across systems and devices, so everyone in multiple locations can keep tabs on tasks and process hand-offs.
- Analyze large amounts of data and provide rich insights to supply chain members.
- Use social collaboration and mobile capabilities to streamline processes, work more effectively, and connect instantly regardless of location.
Integrated emerging technologies
Cloud solutions provide intuitive, built-in, and always up-to-date analytics. They also increasingly use advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Advanced technologies enable elevating levels of automation in applications and better business decisions through predictive and prescriptive modeling and recommendations. They also provide the foundation for companies wanting to take advantage of other emerging opportunities, such as blockchain for private trading networks and track-and-trace capabilities.
Easily accessible information
Cloud solutions provide up-to-date visibility into various aspects of the supply chain, such as inventory, order status, and shipments, as well as alerts about status changes that might negatively affect business outcomes. Cloud applications can also provide insight into events that once were hard to detect by using embedded analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.
Scalability and security
Cloud applications are more scalable than on-premises applications. New users can be added faster and without hardware/software requisitions. On-premises applications lack this capability, and this has limited how they can be used to manage supply chain challenges such as seasonal spikes in demand. With cloud, for example, a business can deploy a full warehouse management system (WMS) to manage overflow seasonal inventory and then turn it off once it is no longer needed. This was neither economically viable nor operationally feasible in the days of on-premises WMS deployments.
Another benefit of using cloud SCM applications is that the data within the system is stored by the service provider in a highly secure data center; this means administrators can apply patches immediately to address the type of rapidly emerging cyber threats that can so quickly affect modern supply chains.
Easy-to-maintain and update systems
Businesses need to be able to concentrate on customer experience instead of the limits and lifecycles of their applications. All aspects of managing SCM applications are easier in the cloud versus on-premises: adoption, use, management, configurability, and upgrades.
Using an end-to-end cloud platform also eliminates a common challenge of legacy applications where adoption of SCM functionality is dependent upon, and often subservient to, the core ERP. Many supply chains can’t rapidly change business processes or adopt emerging technologies because updates to their on-premises SCM applications can only take place once a major ERP implementation or release upgrade had been completed, a process that can sometimes take years.
A partner that understands your business
Having a cloud partner that not only has deep technical skills, but also proven business expertise, can make a supply chain upgrade easier and more successful. No two supply chains are alike, and a partner with a long history of architecting and supporting business solutions for all types of businesses can bring valuable extras to the table.
For example, Oracle has a large installed base of SCM customers both on-premises and in the cloud. As on-premises customers transition to the cloud, they can sync data between the two sets of applications so that teams are working with the same information. Once in the cloud, customers can use anonymized user data to benchmark their performance against peers because all users have the same, standardized applications.
