I am a huge fan of #SocialLearning and I believe we can grow our knowledge together based on sharing of experiences and learning from each other.

Today’s session is focusing on what are the Career choices available for Oracle Application Technical consultant in the era of Oracle Cloud Applications. Organizations are adopting to move to Cloud Model like Oracle HCM Cloud, ERP Cloud, CX Cloud. The basic question for in-house ERP teams is, what they will do? How Cloud Applications are going to impact them? I will be covering in this post how Apps Tech Consultant can plan their journey to cloud similar to the organizations that are also going through the Journey to cloud paradigm where modern processes are being adopted and requirements of millennials are being met through these modern applications. Most of the enterprise applications are already using enterprise applications like Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel CRM, JD Edward, etc and Apps Tech consultants are champion in the on-premise application and building a lot of Tech stuff to meet different user requirements.

We have discussed in the Podcast what Apps Tech-consultants were doing in the case of EBS and what they need to do now for Cloud Applications:

• Oracle Application Tech consultants were focusing on developing RICE objects. RICE acronym Stands for RICE (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements, or extensions). With the release of the R12 version of the Oracle e-business suite, RICE objects transformed to CEMLI (Configuration, Extension, Modification, Localization, and Integration). It’s become an extension framework for ERP Applications.
• The main focus was on creating Reports, Alerts, OAF Pages, and Interfaces/Integrations. Now with the Cloud Applications
  • Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence is the default reporting tool and BI Publisher is available for ad-hoc reporting.
  • All extensions are being developed in a PaaS environment where we are getting Java Cloud Service – SaaS extension to build additional features
  • Integration with third-party applications can also be through iPaaS.
• What should be the focus areas for Apps Tech Consultant? Where to invest his time and energy to learn new technology tools to transform his career with the rapid growth of Cloud Applications?
• All these career choices/options are outlined in the podcast, how to plan and start learning.
