Business Need:
Being a MNC, large amount of decisions, transactions and orders are executed. Their workforce was increasingly becoming mobile making a need to provide a mobile interface to access their financial system and enable the review and approval of financial documents using mobile technologies.
MTN have been using Oracle EBS as their preferred ERP system for their business proceedings with a smooth process however with a large organization comes greater responsibilities wherein turnaround time plays a major role.
The main objective was to improve the availability of the approval process by enabling managers to approve “on the fly” the assigned Oracle financial documents regardless of his location and his mobile device.
Challenges:
Some of the challenges faced for this project were:
- Communicating with the Blackberry Enterprise server.
- Viewing of attachments because Oracle EBS 11.5.10 does not support direct fetching of attachments like the way Oracle EBS R12 does.
