Oracle Cloud solutions powered by Oracle Platform as a Service
As companies transition to the cloud and increasingly adopt Oracle SaaS (Software as a Service) Cloud Applications, one of the fundamental concerns they consider is if Oracle SaaS apps’ customisation can meet their business requirements.
While Oracle SaaS applications deliver solutions to fit clients’ business and operational needs, Oracle PaaS (Platform as a Service) offers clients the ability to build custom extensions to fit within Oracle Cloud while providing the flexibility to meet their demands. Like other Oracle Cloud applications, custom apps built with PaaS share the same benefits of the cloud including stability and the ability to lower IT infrastructure and data center maintenance.

Leveraging the number of Oracle PaaS offerings, PwC has developed the following Oracle Cloud PaaS solutions: Oracle Integration Cloud, Java Cloud Service, Blockchain, Mobile Cloud Service, and IoT.
Supply Chain Tracking and Tracing solution with Blockchain
Blockchain offers businesses the ability to share data real-time across multiple parties while increasing data integrity and security. Combining Oracle Cloud ERP with PwC’s Supply Chain Tracking and Tracing solution delivers business value across the Supply Chain Management Lifecycle in these ways:
- Collects information for all shipped products in order to meet compliance and regulatory requirements
- Reduces issues incurred at customs
- Customisable to use IoT sensors for data collection
- Provides real time data tracking
- Improves auditing capabilities
- Reduces labour hours
- Improves visibility to support product recall processes
Self Service Purchase Receipts Mobile App
Users are increasingly mobile and would like the ability to receive self-service requisitions through mobile apps. PwC has developed a mobile application that provides companies the ability simplify their multi-step self-service receiving process and receive purchase orders with built in controls to avoid duplicate transactions:
- Receives purchase orders created against self-service requisitions
- Embedded with Oracle Cloud user account security controls and privileges
- Ability to correct and return received services
- Improves productivity
- Integrates with invoice matching and accounts payable
Project Asset Capitalisation Rules Extension
Oracle ERP Cloud does not provide a framework to incorporate asset capitalisation rules and does not automate asset creation with custom rules. Due to the complexity of project asset capitalisation, PwC has designed a framework with configurable rules pulling in data across sources such as inventory, accounts payable, and time entry systems.
- Improves efficiencies in asset capitalisation process
- Limited resources required to operate from project and fixed asset teams
- Flexible rules driven by multiple factors including project time and time to capitalise
- Scalable to respond to increase in data volumes
- Easy to maintain by business users without IT involvement
- Automation of asset creation with complex rules via scheduled programs
