Working with a super team of Prime Oracle Digital Inside Sales Reps covering the UK market. Tasked with selling our cloud ERP, EPM and SCM applications to organisations across all industries. Our customers are looking for agile cloud applications that enable them to streamline their business processes, increase their productivity, lower costs and improve controls. Oracle provides a comprehensive suite of business applications that span across the entire end to end supply. We enable our customers to scale rapidly with a much lower TCO and much faster implementation timelines. PLM and Supply Chain is becoming an end to end product value chain. Supply chain executives are all part of one large product value chain. The most exciting thing about cloud is that companies can reduce so many complexities with one cloud architecture which collects data. This approach really allows companies to really fit the product and the launch of the product into the end to end supply chain traditionally the product fit and launch would sit outside supply chain. PLM and Supply should be intertwined with your overall end to end supply chain.
