Oracle’s ERP cloud has been recognized as the industry leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant report on Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Midsize enterprises. For the report, Gartner evaluated vendors on the capabilities of their cloud ERP suites, as well as their ability to market and sell those solutions to, and implement and support them for, product-centric organizations. Oracle was chosen as the leader amongst 14 different competitors because it has been found to have robust functional capabilities, strong cloud platform and technology, high customer satisfaction scores, and established partner ecosystem for deploying and supporting these applications.
What’s working well
What is really working well for Oracle is that it has a consistent architecture for all segments of its cloud applications, enabling seamless integration of HCM, finance, and operational ERP capabilities. On the other hand, Oracle’s transformation from an on-premise vendor to cloud service provider is ongoing due to which there have been issues reported with respect to performance and complexity of support services. To address these small hiccups in this industry-wide transition from on-premise to cloud, Oracle continues to invest heavily in training its partners and increase the number of trained consultants to provide seamless transition and better support services.
As a ‘Leader’ in this space, Oracle has executed its current vision and strategies very well as compared to its competitors and is in a great position for the future. Most of Oracle’s competitors currently fall in the ‘Visionary’ quadrant. They understand where the market is heading or have a vision for changing market rules, but they do not execute well. Additionally, this market space is currently immature and vendor positions are predicted to shift year by year as cloud ERP solutions become better, innovation and execution progress, and as the market expands to include more and larger business enterprises.
Gartner’s evaluation criteria for analysis of the vendors falls under the following two broad categories:
- Ability to execute – Companies have been assessed on products, technologies, services and operations that enable them to be competitive, efficient, and effective in the marketplace, and that positively impact their revenue, client satisfaction, client retention, and general market reputation.
- Completeness of Vision – Companies have been assessed on their ability to articulate their perspectives on the market’s current and future direction, to anticipate customers’ needs and cloud technology trends, and to address competitive forces. Companies have also been evaluated basis their understanding and articulation of how market forces can be exploited to create new opportunities for themselves and their clients.
