Business Challenge

Previously, MPI is using Oracle EBS R11 On-Premise as their ERP. There are several downsides to On-Premise solutions such as Additional investment for DRC, Complex security requirements for remote user access, Performance issues due to obsolete Hardware, and several findings from MPI holding on Governance & Compliance. Although the EBS R11 is still sufficient to support their daily operation, there are some concerns due to EBS R11 is already not supported by Oracle. In Management reporting, BI Dashboard is needed that includes the ERP system.

Goals

Pharmaniaga Berhad as MPI’s Holding requires Oracle EBS R11 to be replaced with a SAAS solution, so they can have benefits such as the ability to get rid of most or all hardware and software, centralized data security, higher performance and availability, business continuity, and frequent software upgrade. The new application should also does not have significant differences with Oracle EBS R11 UI, so they do not have to spend extra effort for their users to learn the new UI. 

MPI also expect a modern ERP, that will reduce dependency on the MIS team for uploading bulk data via back-end, such as uploading updated price list, new SKU code, etc.
