ERP Consulting
By having the reputation as a top tier software provider and commanding the second largest market share in the world, Oracle and TechStone are a natural fit. Both firms believe in providing clients with business applications built on a unified information architecture. TechStone is a proponent of Oracle’s single and complete data model. With data stored in one place, TechStone clients can benefit from consistent, accurate and enterprise data that’s accessible and managed without the need for multiple interfaces, data translation and unneeded integration.
- Complexity is reduced by integrating information and processes to enforce consistent business practices. Financial organizations are now consistently pressured to shorten the close cycle without additional headcount. Oracle Financials allows TechStone clients to consolidate information from any chart of accounts, any calendar, any currency and any source at any level of detail. Oracle Financials is a suite of powerful and integrated products that includes localizations for 43 countries and supports 29 languages. TechStone provides consulting and staff support for the suite of Oracle Financial modules including:
GL, AP, ARFixed Assets
Oracle Transportation Management
Customer Data Hub
CRM
Budgeting and Planning
- Since the acquisition of PeopleSoft, Oracle has the ability to deliver the greatest ERP offerings in the market. With PeopleSoft’s earlier acquisition of JD Edwards, clients now have the complete mind share of the ERP market. Companies can now leverage the best the ERP solutions have to offer in an integrated and unified format. TechStone provides expertise for such best of breed ERP solutions as PeopleSoft’s HR suite as well as JD Edwards’ Supply Chain and Manufacturing software. TechStone has highly skilled and experienced resources to help plan and roll-out the entire ERP suites now for both JD Edwards and PeopleSoft.
- The complexity of an ERP implementation is well known and simplifying that process is the goal of TechStone. Rather than try to be all things to all clients TechStone places an importance on solving specific needs for clients. The TechStone niche for clients rolling out JD Edwards and/or PeopleSoft ERP suites is in providing Functional Experts for each module roll-out. This means that companies can leverage TechStone’s expertise for specific module deployments and minimize their investment to that particular need. The TechStone Functional Experts are Business Analysts with a business background in the specific module in which they specialize. For instance, a TechStone Functional Expert working in a PeopleSoft Financials implementation would have a business background in finance with a degree in accounting and commonly a CPA. They would of course also have multiple PeopleSoft Financial projects under their belt with a specialization in AR, GL or AP. Another example would be a TechStone Functional Expert for a JD Edwards project. This would be a Business Analyst hat has a manufacturing process background having multiple manufacturing client projects as experience. They would understand the processes behind the concepts of discrete and flow manufacturing for example with a degree in business.
