Oracle Software and Microsoft: Comparison

Why switch to Microsoft Dynamics? Three great reasons

Making the decision to change your company's financial management system is a process that requires research and foresight. Here are three top reasons why businesses using Oracle applications, including PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and E-Business Suite solutions, have decided to make the switch to Microsoft Dynamics.

Microsoft Dynamics can scale with your business
Microsoft Dynamics provides affordable scalability for your growing businesses. With benchmarked performance up to 1,000 users and beyond and rich functionality across financials, supply chain management and customer relationship management, you can be confident in the ability of Microsoft Dynamics to meet the needs of your growing business. Integrate your Microsoft Dynamics business management solution with the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database and analytics program. Enjoy enterprise-level reporting, flexible decision-making support and timely, relevant business insight at a low cost with significantly high usability and flexibility.

Microsoft Dynamics provides a low cost of ownership
Microsoft Dynamics is engineered to cost-effectively support the changing requirements that are frequently necessary for customers to adapt, grow, and maintain a competitive edge in their business. Independent research has demonstrated that, on the whole, Microsoft Dynamics offers a higher return on investment (ROI) and lower overall costs than other major competitive offerings. Microsoft Dynamics licensing is designed to be cost-effective. It is based on concurrent users versus named users and has no imposed user minimum or maximum so it evolves with you for the life of your business.

Microsoft offers an industry-leading vertical partner ecosystem
Microsoft is in a position to deliver vertical solutions to hundreds of different industries on a local basis; it can bring these solutions to market on a local level. Microsoft's Industry Builder Initiative (IBI) offers solutions designed to meet the needs of specific industries. It can provides the functionality customers need without the overhead costs buried in solutions that try to serve all industries from the same code-base and use templates to hide some of this complexity.


Questions to ask Oracle before purchasing an Oracle solution

What does a typical Oracle support team look like? How many administrators? How many developers? How many support personnel?

Does your proposal include the use of an Oracle Accelerator for streamlined implementation? What specifics actually govern this offer? How will the cost and time of implementation be affected if I want the solution modified to meet my unique business practices?

Will I have to conform my business to match Oracle's ideas of how to run a business in order to get the benefits of the rapid implementation? How am I able to realize a competitive edge in my business processes if I am just taking what is given?

Do I have to license named users instead of concurrent users or user sessions? What is the difference and what do you see as the pros and cons of each?
