Mid-market companies access big-league IT solutions
Oracle Accelerate solutions give midsize businesses in 18 countries and 42 industry sub-segments affordable, easy-to-implement enterprise resource planning applications. 123 of them, to be exact.
Growing mid-sized businesses face the same challenges as their bigger competitors, but without the same budget and resources. In the past, if these companies wanted to access the power of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform like Oracle E-Business Suite or JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, they risked disrupting mission-critical processes and diverting resources away from core business activities during the lengthy—and costly—implementation process.
Not anymore. Oracle and HP have joined forces to make sophisticated, industry-specific ERP solutions more accessible and affordable to the mid-market companies that need them most.

…No matter the industry
From professional services and manufacturing industries to high-tech, life sciences and consumer goods markets, Oracle Partners are leveraging years of industry expertise and best practices to develop world-class, industry- and geography-specific Oracle Accelerate solutions. In fact, to even offer a certified Oracle Accelerate solution, a partner must first demonstrate proven industry sub-segment success, complete with customer endorsements. The bottom line? New customers have the peace-of-mind that their IT partner already has real-world experience—and success—implementing the tailored platform.
For example
Food and beverage companies need complete visibility—from the field, through the manufacturing processes to the store shelf— to assure compliance and boost efficiency. Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Food and Beverage Producers applications provide real-time information that covers the entire crop-to-product, block-to-bottle cycle. These applications integrate with the supply chain, financial, and human resources operations to help realize business efficiencies, and respond more quickly to the changing market landscape.
Yet historically, growing organizations are slow to adopt this enterprise solution due to lack of resources, cost and the risk of disrupting the day-to-day operations that sustain the business. Now, midsize food and beverage companies can look to an Oracle Accelerate solution running on HP platforms for a controlled-scope implementation that provides core functionality and leaves the door open to deploy additional capabilities later. Growing organizations can achieve real business value from the solution quickly, while avoiding the expense of more traditional large-scale implementations.
Even the playing field with Oracle and HP
To compete effectively and drive a profitable business, mid-sized companies require a quick, tangible return on IT solutions that are reliable, affordable and easy to deploy and manage. Oracle Accelerate solutions combined with HP hardware deliver value by providing user-configurable functionality that improves business operations while reducing IT expense.
