Your Chart of Accounts shouldn't just satisfy Accounting. It should support reporting, security, projects, procurement, integrations, and future growth. A well-designed COA enables everything that follows. #OracleFusion #ERP

Most implementation issues aren't technical. They're design decisions made in isolation. Our latest video explores why cross-functional design changes everything. 📺 youtu.be/rgzwRVth6AU #OracleFusion #OracleACE

Everyone owes Milly Alcock a freaking apology for how she was treated even before the Supergirl movie was released

If you're looking for Oracle Fusion content from consultants who've actually delivered implementations—not marketing presentations—we think you'll enjoy Afternoons With ACEs. 📚 Blog: afternoonswithaces.com/ 🎥 YouTube: youtube.com/@AfternoonsWithA…

Every Oracle consultant has that one lesson they learned the hard way. Ours? Never underestimate the long-term impact of early design decisions. What would yours be? #Oracle #OracleFusion #Consulting

Finance. HCM. Procurement. Projects. Security. They're often implemented separately. Oracle Fusion doesn't work that way. Cross-functional design is the missing principle behind successful implementations. 🎥 youtu.be/rgzwRVth6AU 📖 afternoonswithaces.com/cross… #OracleFusion #ERP #OracleACE

Everyone talks about data conversion. Not enough teams talk about data quality. Moving bad data into Oracle Fusion doesn't solve the problem—it just gives it a new home. 📚 More implementation lessons: afternoonswithaces.com/ #OracleFusion #DataConversion

The best Oracle Fusion implementations aren't remembered because they went live. They're remembered because five years later, people still aren't fighting the system. Good architecture ages well. 📚 afternoonswithaces.com/ #Oracle #OracleFusion #ERP

This will be an unpopular opinion on the Right but I think this is kind of dumb, even as a troll. Lake Ontario was given that name on maps by European explorers long before the Canadian province of Ontario was named. There are several cities in America called Ontario -- at least one of them predating the Canadian province by like 100 years -- because the word originates with native tribes in North America. It's not a Canadian invention. Canadians never uniquely owned the lake or the name. So in effect all you're doing here is actually giving them credit for a thing that wasn't theirs to begin with. Yeah it's funny when Canadians are upset I guess or whatever, but Lake Ontario, the name itself, is *American* history dating back many centuries. Not sure how you own Canada by deleting your own history.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Lake Ontario is renamed to LAKE AMERICA! 🇺🇸

One sentence has probably cost more Oracle implementations than any technical problem: "We'll figure that out during testing." Requirements exist for a reason. #Oracle #ERP

Conference Room Pilots show users individual transactions. Process Playback proves the business can actually operate. Those aren't the same thing. #OracleFusion #ERP

What's one Oracle implementation lesson you only learn after go-live? Those are usually the most valuable conversations. #Oracle #OracleFusion #OracleACE

One of the most expensive Oracle Fusion design decisions often isn't discovered until after go-live. Cost center hierarchy design quietly affects reporting, approvals, security, allocations, and governance for years. Good architecture prevents future work. #Oracle #OracleFusion #ERP

What's the first thing you review when someone says, "Our Oracle Fusion reports don't match what the business expects." Reporting? Security? Data conversion? Or something else entirely? #OracleFusion #Financials

Could one hierarchy decision affect reporting, security, approvals, allocations, and governance? That's exactly what we explore in our latest Afternoons With ACEs video. 🎥 youtu.be/EyTQdlOj84U #Oracle #OracleFusion #ERP

Imagine you inherit an Oracle Fusion implementation tomorrow. What’s the first thing you’d review? For us: The functional specifications. They usually tell you more about the health of the implementation than the configuration itself. #OracleFusion #OracleACE #ERP
