Oracle e-business suite configuration is easy!

 

Oracle (and their accredited partners) over the past few years have been selling new customers a rapid implementation approach based around Oracle Accelerators http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/midsize/business-accelerators/overview/index.html

The key selling points are:

·  Incorporate leading industry practices

·  Enable rapid software adoption

·  Standard world-class business processes

·  Flexible, reliable configuration in the cloud

·  Available through Oracle's approved partner channel and Oracle Consulting groups

·  Dramatically reduce the time and effort required for project scoping, solution design, configuration, and testing

So if the above is happening then presumably customers don't need to hire Oracle Functional Consultants in the same numbers as was prevalent in most implementations over the past decade? or with same level of experience.

I believe one Oracle partner in the UK hires graduates and within a couple of years they are classed as Senior Consultants on Oracle R12 implementations!

So do my band of associates and friends from OCS who became contractors in the late nighties need to think about retirement soon?
