Oracle<\/a> might not be the first company you think of when it comes to cloud computing, but the company has made significant strides in recent years. Today, it announced the bi-annual update to its Oracle Cloud Applications Suite<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is update number 13 for those keeping score at home. The suite includes a range of enterprise software including ERP (think back-office management), HR and CRM\/CX (for customer management). While there were a number of changes across the individual pieces, the entire suite got a fresh design.<\/p>\n The latest version certainly has a more modern look and feel, and that was the idea, says Steve Miranda, executive vice president of applications development at Oracle. Miranda says that it\u2019s a brand new experience compared to the previous version of the software. The company not only overhauled the design, it also wanted to improve workflows, working to take out unnecessary steps when possible.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Oracle has turned to a responsive design approach, where the interface adjusts depending on screen size. It\u2019s a marked improvement over the previous mobile experience, Miranda says, which used different colors and visualizations and a different navigation paradigm. He says previously they had some apps designed specifically for mobile, but some simply were presented in the browser, and didn\u2019t always translate well to a smaller screen. Today\u2019s update is designed to address that.<\/p>\n Photo: Oracle<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As for the ERP piece, the company enhanced the supply chain software that enables companies to track supplies in a manufacturing process. In the CX customer cloud, the company is adding brand new functionality that has been designed to improve communication between sales and marketing, a challenge that seems to face just about every organization, and one which vendors are forever working to resolve.<\/p>\n As Oracle more fully embraces the cloud, it\u2019s adding new functionality and expanding the product set whenever possible, and this update appears to reflect that. It\u2019s worth noting that Miranda says that the company still maintains an on-prem version of the suite, but the cloud version with the twice yearly updates is the more popular now. On-prem customers will have to wait to see these changes, as it tends to be on a much slower update cadence than the cloud.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Featured Image: Getty Images<\/small><\/p>\n Article source: http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/techcrunchIt\/~3\/D9N6acmcjTU\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oracle might not be the first company you think of when it comes to cloud computing, but the company has made significant strides in recent years.
