Two acts, then your questions

A conversation in two parts, followed by a live Q&A with both speakers.

Act 1

The Transformation

How a global manufacturer consolidated 17 ERPs across 30 factories onto Oracle Fusion Cloud.

Act 2

Sustaining Value

What it takes to keep the platform running through every quarterly release, long after go-live.

Live

Q&A

Bring your questions for Nikhil and Kevin — answered live.

A real playbook, not just a case study deck

Three things you'll walk away with after 45 minutes.

How 17 ERPs became one

The approach the client used to consolidate 17 disparate ERP systems across 30 global factories onto a single Oracle Fusion Cloud platform.

What it takes to sustain value

Why go-live is the starting line, not the finish — and the managed-services model that kept the client's platform running through every quarterly release.

The automation behind the numbers

How an OIC-powered bulk-upload integration cut pricing-segment creation time by 80% and lifted data accuracy by 95%.

One company, 17 different systems

Disparate systems, mismatched data, and no single source of truth made everyday pricing operations a manual grind.

Creating different price lists for every factory and business unit

Maintaining different Pricing Segments to match each price list

Maintaining different Strategy Assignment Rules to match each price list

Spending significant manual time creating Pricing Segments and Strategy Assignments

Oracle Fusion Cloud, built for scale

What Forsys designed, configured, and automated to bring the client onto one platform.

  • Designed the client's existing business processes into Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud, then configured the system to match.
  • Built and supported third-party system integrations to simplify complex data conversions.
  • Delivered data extracts and reports — MRP, work order, costing, and more — to support regular business processes.
  • Used Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) services and REST APIs to build a bulk-upload integration for Pricing Segment and Strategy Assignment creation — replacing a fully manual process.

Impact of the OIC Integration

80% savings in user time
80% reduction in manual effort
95% improvement in data accuracy

Plus minimized data-entry errors and minimal human intervention required to keep pricing segments current.

Go-live is the start, not the finish line

Quarterly Oracle releases brought new patches, new features — and a two-week window to prove nothing would break in production.

  • Every quarterly release gave the client a two-week window to execute all test cases before the patch could go to production — any failure meant an Oracle Service Request and the release put on hold.
  • Sales orders stuck at "Shipped" blocked billing; purchase orders stuck at "Material Receiving" blocked processing — even after goods physically arrived — putting month-end close at risk.
  • Forsys built a test plan and an automation accelerator to run end-to-end regression across every quarterly upgrade — identifying root causes and shipping fixes within hours.
  • Issues were caught and reported before patches ever reached production, and new Oracle features were used to reduce customizations going forward.

Impact of Managed Services

0 missed month-end closes since go-live
2wk quarterly patch window, tested end-to-end

Cost optimization and improved productivity linked to software uptime — with purchase orders, invoices, and payments processed on schedule every quarter.

Built for people planning their own transformation

No theory, just what worked

See exactly how 17 ERPs became one — told by the people who lived through it, not a case study written after the fact.

Go-live is the start, not the finish

Learn what it actually takes to sustain value quarter after quarter, long after the go-live celebration ends.

A playbook you can steal

Walk away with a practical framework you can apply to your own Oracle transformation and managed-services strategy.

Hear directly from the people who did the work

No slideware, no theory — a CIO and the Oracle practice lead who ran the transformation, talking through what actually happened.
