“[More4Apps] solutions are very affordable. The time benefits realized in the first upload of a national rollout program paid for the cost of the software. Not to count the 50 plus rollouts we have had since then. This has been a great firm to assist us over the past couple of years. The one drawback is the time difference between U.S. and New Zealand, but they do respond to us on a reasonable timeline.”

“Budget Wizard is a slick application. But more impressive is the service we get from the vendor. We have had some unique desktop issues and Oracle Application upgrade issues that have illustrated the high level of support from More4Apps. Since we started using the product, we have experienced very fast response often resulting in an updated version overnight.”

“Project Wizard (and the new Asset Loader) have been exceptional tools and played key roles in conversion and creating the many thousands of projects and assets on a monthly basis. The time and effort saved by using More4Apps products have been immeasurable. The More4apps Support team have been first class in taking care of any issues we encounter since our purchase of Project Wizard (Asset Loader) and Budget Wizard. We continue to find new ways to utilize the tools to create efficiencies in our business. Thanks for commitment to excellence.”

“Recently our organization undertook a significant structural change.
As a result, a large amount of projects and tasks had to be created for the new financial year. Using standard Oracle Projects functionality would have meant months of work and the inability to hit the desired timelines.
I contacted More4Apps after hearing about them from other Oracle Users. We subsequently purchased Project Wizard and I was able to load 2400 tasks in less than 30 seconds! I use this product regularly now to assist with system maintenance.”

“With the existence of a non-Oracle logistic system, the Dutch MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières) organization has to deal with a manual interface to the Oracle back office. Due to growing shipping and field order demands, increasing data entry volumes became too demanding. More4Apps' Requisition Wizard provided the answer, coping with higher volumes and reducing errors. Requisition Wizard was affordable, created a time benefit, but more importantly reduced RSI complaints.
“During the implementation the Wizard had to be modified to specific MSF requirements. A process in which the New Zealand based vendor proved reliable, with an overnight response to their European alliance partner EBS4APPS.”

“Some data entry work took us days to do manually in Oracle Projects, Dataload enabled us to do in hours, and the More4Apps tools race through in minutes.
I have been using Oracle Projects for over 5 years and I can't understand how anyone using Oracle Projects would not use the More4Apps tools.”

“Good News : The Projects data conversion was successful! Projects, Budgets and Transactions were loaded into the PROD instance. The client is very happy with your tools, and we were able to minimize errors and the conversion time. Congratulations for your tools and support. I'll recommend your tools in my future Oracle Apps implementations.”

“Thanks More4Apps! Project Wizard has been an invaluable tool for our conversion effort. This tool has allowed us to concentrate on data issues, rather than how to load projects. The ability to validate and correct data using the convenient drop down menus has allowed us to make corrections on the fly, thus saving us numerous hours. Keep up the great work. ”
“Budget Wizard is another great tool from More4Apps. What normally took days to complete can now be done in hours. Keep them coming.”
“We were so pleased with the Project and Budget Wizard products, we had to get Transaction Wizard. Like the other tools, it provides a fast and convenient way to load our legacy data. With over 50,000 transactions to convert, Transaction Wizard has met all of our requirements. Additionally, the functionality to enter employee number or employee name has allowed us to match our legacy data with Oracle’s requirements. Thanks More4Apps. ”

“Finally! A quick, simple way to load and reforecast budgets.
Our budget loading process has reduced from 2 days to 2 hours.
Managers are required to manage budgets at a project, task and resource level. This includes re-forecasting, every month, expected monthly expenditure for the financial year. Without More4Apps Budget Model this was a time consuming offline task. Now it is an integral part of our monthly reporting.
Now that we have it this is one tool we wouldn't like to survive without!”

“Budget Wizard has been in use with our organization since October 2000. The model works extremely well and users have adopted it with very little training.
Creating Project Budgets using this method has saved us considerable time and money compared to standard functionality. Well done More4Apps!”

“Although the company has had the license for longer, I personally have been using the More4Apps Upload Wizard for about 9 months. It makes uploading data and creating the same scenario in different instances so much easier - saving me hours and even days of testing time. And it has allowed me to easily obtain data from others to recreate issues in my instances. The value this tool adds is immense.
“In my testing I had come across two issues that were causing me problems and some extra work. When I contacted More4Apps support, I expected that it would take some time to address my issues. I was impressed, amazed and very, very grateful when a resolution was provided the next day.
“I would recommend this tool to anyone who needs to upload data to or download data from Oracle for any reason. And the support is obviously outstanding. Thanks for a great tool.”

The Requisition Wizard Tool has provided us with a cost effective and efficient way to process hundreds and thousands of requisition lines in minutes instead of hours and days. The flexibility and usability of the MS Excel based tool has provided us with an effective way to manage our RFQ/Quote/REQ and PO process within 1 spreadsheet per Renovation Project. The tool also provides data validation and account generation during both the download and upload processes into Oracle and all error messages are meaningful and aid in the speedy resolution of any and all data issues.
The More4Apps team has provided around the clock coverage and consulting and has built NEW functionality into the REQ Wizard Tool for us so that we can use the tool to meet our Business needs. Kudos to Bruce Doig and his team!!"

“At Sensis, our Financial Analysts use Budget Wizard to input budgets in Oracle Projects. Eventually we plan on deploying it to approximately 50 Project Managers for use in maintaining project budgets.
“We budget at Task, Period, and Resource levels, and use multiple Budget Types per project. This volume of data is impractical to load using the standard Oracle form. Since much of our current planning process employs Microsoft Excel, Budget Wizard was ideally suited for this purpose.
“The tool is robust, straightforward and easy to use. Our users were successfully loading their own budgets from the first training session.
“We are particularly pleased with the ability of the tool to handle multiple Budget Types for multiple Projects all on the same worksheet. Its extremely flexible layout, and capability to operate on other workbooks, allows us to integrate smoothly with Oracle directly from our source budget development spreadsheets.
We've found the support from More4Apps to be timely, comprehensive, and most helpful.”

Product: AP Invoice Wizard
“AP Invoice Wizard was purchased to deal with the additional volumes created by direct deliveries to store. We faced the invoice workload of 125 store deliveries per order rather than a single delivery to a Distribution Centre plus a greater frequency of deliveries.
“The solution was to get suppliers to provide a simple spreadsheet with 4 columns of data per invoice (invoice date, invoice number, PO number, amount). The More4Apps Wizard is able to upload hundreds of invoices in 1-2 minutes giving a significant time saving plus the added benefit of improved data entry accuracy.
“At current volumes the Wizard will negate the need to employ an additional staff member.
“The upload template was easy to adjust and no code alterations or configuration changes were required in Oracle.”

“We contacted More4Apps after searching Metalink for a fix to our Invoice Import issue. The one we were using broke and we had no way to get the entries into Oracle. We were using a program that was slow and had little validation. Only one person could use the program and it took 5 days to complete all the month end entries.
“We came across a hit on metalink recommending More4Apps and have been using it ever since. It now takes less than a day to do the entries and we have several users using it.
“The validation process is awesome. It has saved us numerous support and man hours. Speaking of support, More4Apps is second to none. We don't even notice the time zone difference between the US and New Zealand. They truly know the meaning of the concept: (CUSTOMER FIRST).
“AP Wizard is such a great tool that we are evaluating Project Wizard, Budget Wizard, AR Invoice Wizard and Requisition Wizard. Thanks More4Apps.”

“Approaching year end we realized that nearly all our existing projects & tasks set-up, needed to have their end-dates extended. Project Wizard enabled us to download the detail from literally thousands of projects and tasks, make all the changes necessary, and then upload straight back into Project Accounting. We would never have been able to complete this job within the set timeframe without this product.
“Since then we’ve also used it to make other mass changes to project details, again saving us hours of manual data entry and ultimately resulting in cost savings.
“An excellent product and great support service.”
