Oracle ERP Cloud Migration is Nailed by U.S. Construction Company
Avoid Transferring Out-of-Date Data to Oracle ERP Cloud
Case Study – Construction
To avoid transferring out-of-date data to their new Oracle ERP Cloud system, a US construction company underwent a significant data cleansing using a customized Excel spreadsheet.
The Client
A California-based construction company operating across 30 US states, managing over 100 private and commercial projects on average.
The Challenge
Project managers manually created and maintained project details like tasks and resource assignments, spending more time at their desks than in the field. Data bottlenecks led to inaccurate billing information, and clients began questioning the accuracy of billed administrative services. The problem worsened after migrating to Oracle ERP Cloud: the company’s internally developed, Excel-based project management program no longer worked, leaving project managers and accountants juggling multiple spreadsheet versions with no reliable way to sync data into Oracle.
The Solution
After evaluating options including BDISOAP, VBCS (REST), and ADFdi, the company chose the More4apps ERP Cloud Toolbox Projects Module for its simplicity and direct Oracle integration. Project managers now set up projects, manage task assignments, and maintain work plans from a single Excel spreadsheet, with data validated in-sheet before it ever reaches Oracle.
The Results
- 70% reduction in time spent on project data entry
- More time for analysis and client service instead of manual entry
- Finance can trust that billing data is accurate and validated
- No custom IT solutions to maintain or patch
