Oracle E-Business Suite implementations do better than most
The healthcare sector in Victoria, Australia has been struggling to replace core clinical systems and complete a general overhaul of its IT. The overall HealthSmart programme is over two years later and substanitally over budget.
However the implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite has been completed in 8 of 11 sites, with the remaining sites due to go live this month. This makes it the best performing stream of the entire programme of work. The budget overrun of 2% is trivial compared to the problems that still beset the other applications streams.

Oracle Retail applications selected by Indian retail group
Aditya Birla Retail Limited has selected Oracle Retail applications to support its planned growth in the Indian retail sector, now the fifth biggest in the world (US$330bn in 2007).
Oracle Retail was chosen over competition which included SAP Retail and will be supplemented with financials modules from Oracle E-Business Suite and several application infrastructure components from Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Chief executive officer Sumant Sinha cited the excellent capability Oracle Retail has for supporting different store formats as a key point in its favour and expects to be able to roll out new stores more quickly with the software in place.
As an example of this retailer's ambition, Aditya Birla plans to open 17 new supermarkets of between 2,000 and 4,500 sqft in the city of Nashik alone. With this scale of operation, having a strong integrated retail software infrastructure in place will save it huge amounts of time and money.

Application Access Controls Governor
Oracle has announced Release 8 of its (take a deep breath) Oracle(R) Application Access Controls Governor Release 8, a key component of the Oracle Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) applications suite.
http://www.oracle.com/solutions/corporate_governance/index.html
This product allows administrators to enforce access control policies in Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft and even non-Oracle applications. For example separation of duties can be enforced in the application, ensuring proper authorisation of transactions made in business processes.
It incorporates a service-oriented approach to exposing functionality, allowing non-Oracle applications to be included in the same access control regime as Oracle Applications.
This is a big product with lots of features and certainly worth a look for organisations struggling to deal with policy compliance issues or intending to reduce the effort of maintaining their compliance regime.
