Why Upgrade
Straight Talk from Customers
“We have 60 sets of books and see tremendous efficiencies with running
processes across these sets of books using Ledger Sets.”

“Ability to issue one payment instruction to the bank for payments of invoices
in multiple operating units was viewed as a huge benefit from the user
community.”

“Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) will definitely reduce the workload and the
number of people performing process related tasks. The users are very excited
and the benefits of MOAC were readily visible to them.”

“The ability to access multiple operating units with a single responsibility can
simplify SOX compliance monitoring.”

“The functionality offered with Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS),

specifically the creation of physical invoices to be created for I/C transactions in
Payables and Receivables eliminates many customizations in this area.”

“Centralization of subledger accounting rules would minimize set up and

maintenance, providing greater financial control, and enforcing a consistent
approach for true global accounting.”
“Banks, taxes, payments, and accounting – everything that becomes centralized
will bring tremendous efficiencies to our organization.”

The above reflects Oracle’s current development plans which are subject to change at any time
