Besides Oracle Fusion Applications, Profource is also investing in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI), Oracle’s business intelligence platform for management information and dashboards. With this deployment Profource will not only improve its own internal financial processes, but will also gain the necessary experience and insights to guide customers during their implementation process. Profource will be one of the first service providers in Europe helping organizations migrate to Oracle Fusion Applications.

During the first phase of implementation, Profource has gained the technical and functional knowledge of Oracle WebCenter Imaging, an important element of Oracle Fusion Applications. In the second phase, Oracle Fusion Applications will be implemented in a co-existence fashion with the Oracle E-Business Suite. This means that the existing Oracle E-Business Suite will run parallel to the new Oracle Fusion Applications environment helping to deliver significant advantages due to near real-time integration.

Profource also started to develop industry specific solutions for financial organizations based on Oracle Fusion Applications. As financial legislation and processes differ per bank and country, Profource is currently working on a special module for telebanking in Europe in addition to Oracle Fusion Applications for financial processes.

Profource is a Gold level member in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

Berry Clemens, director of sales and marketing, Profource commented: “With Oracle Fusion Applications and the included OTBI components we can equip our employees with enhanced features and an improved user environment, including apps for smartphones and tablets. With experience based on our own implementation as business case, we have the necessary knowledge which is not only beneficial to our employees, but also to our customers. The development of new services, including Business Process Outsourcing, is a natural consequence.”

Coen Bos, senior sales director, Oracle Applications, Benelux added: “Profource has already proven to be a real early adopter when it comes to new Oracle technology. It’s good to see they are so excited about Oracle Fusion Applications and are enthusiastic about the challenge to develop new solutions. Oracle Fusion Applications are developed based on best practices. Profource understands this and is one of the first to demonstrate this.”

Fast growing software developer Excel4apps, which creates time-saving software that allows Oracle users to interface seamlessly with Excel for report generation and distribution, has entered into a reseller agreement with OC-C for GL Wand in the Benelux area of Europe.

According to Dean Jones, Excel4Apps Director for UK & Europe, Excel4apps continues to grow rapidly and finding a partner to help respond to inquiries from Benelux has proven important as Oracle users find Excel4apps’ software both well priced and appropriate to their needs.

“OC-C has an established track record and excellent reputation working with companies that use Oracle Financials who will immediately benefit from the low-cost Excel reporting capabilities of GL Wand.  We are very excited to be working with the leading Benelux Oracle E-Business Suite Partner in able to offer an efficient solution to solve customers’ reporting problems, especially with the addition of Reports Wand to our product offering”, Jones says.

Berry Clemens, Marketing Director for OC-C, says his firm sees GL Wand as a great product for their current customer base, and is equally excited about the recently released Reports Wand, which he believes will drive better, real-time information management by providing an intuitive, powerful and comprehensive reporting solution across the Oracle E-Business Suite. The price point for GL Wand is also one of its strongest sales points.  Not only is it inexpensive to license and easy to install, but training takes as little as two hours.  “OC-C has always focused on serving a customer base of Oracle users and through this partnership can now provide real-time excel reporting solutions for E-Business Suite users that are easier to use and thus directly benefit the user without any long deployments as the software can be installed in minutes”, Clemens says.
