August 4, 2014 (Mon): Oracle Corporation, the world’s leading IT solution provider, today releases Oracle Project Procurement to help organizations further improve project performance and profitability.
Part of the Oracle E-Business Suite Project Portfolio Management family of applications, Oracle Project Procurement enables project teams to align and measure project and organizational objectives around procurement planning, decision making and execution throughout the lifecycle of a project.
Oracle’s senior vice president, applications development, Cliff Godwin, shares that functional silos and communication gaps between project management and procurement can increase project risk, create inefficiencies and make a significant impact on the bottom-line of projects.
“Oracle Project Procurement addresses this challenge by enabling project management and procurement to closely collaborate throughout the lifecycle of the project. This not only helps project teams to establish and measure strategic project objectives, but importantly helps improve project procurement planning, decision making and execution.”
By enabling increased collaboration across project teams, Oracle Project Procurement helps ensure projects are delivered according to plan, eliminate sources of waste, reduce project risk and provide visibility into supplier performance metrics.
