Oracle® Small Business Suite Introduces Feature-Packed
Release
Continued Improvements Make Suite
Most Flexible and Easiest Way to Run a Growing Business
Redwood Shores, CA - March 11, 2002 -
Oracle Corp., the largest provider of software for
e-business, today announced the launch of Oracle®
Small Business Suite version 7.6, powered by NetLedger,
which further enhances the ease-of-use and advanced
feature set of the award-winning Oracle Small Business
Suite. The Oracle Small Business Suite helps companies
manage key business functions online in a single, integrated
system, without the hassle and expense of maintaining
their own IT systems.
New features and enhancements have been
made in all components of the Oracle Small Business
Suite, including Sales Force Automation, Customer Support
Management, Web Store and Order Management, and Accounting
and Payroll. These latest new features and enhancements
are based on extensive user surveys, and focus on adding
industry-leading functionality and making the Suite
easier to use.
Key to this new release is the addition
of Custom Records, which will allow a business to utilize
the Suite to maintain a database of information unique
to their operation. For example, a property management
company could create a database of all of their properties
with fields representing all of the information it needs
to maintain about the property such as number of units,
size of the units, maintenance schedule, etc. The Custom
Records feature is integrated with the core business
information in a company such as its customer and product
lists.
To help businesses that market and sell
through partners, a new partner center has been added
to the existing customer and vendor centers. Businesses
can now provide secure online access to their partners
to log in and make changes to their profile, create
additional codes to track promotions, and retrieve information
about the partnership activity including up-to-the minute
information on sales.
Additionally, Many usability features
have been added based on extensive user feedback. The
Oracle Small Business Suite has a newly designed Home
page that offers enhanced customization capabilities
and a new search capability to help companies find records
quickly. Another ease-of-use feature is the new mass
update capability, which allows users to change multiple
records all at once based on the results of a search,
simplifying many common business processes, such as
reassigning leads or changing lead status from active
to inactive.
"Our product team continues to innovate
at a breathtaking pace," said Evan Goldberg, CEO of
NetLedger. "Our growing set of loyal customers provides
terrific feedback to help us move the Oracle Small Business
Suite forward, and the fact that we are using the Suite
in-house to manage our own growth gives us a unique
perspective on our users' needs."
The Oracle Small Business Suite is one
completely integrated application to help small businesses
manage all of their business processes more efficiently
and effectively, including accounting and finance, sales
and service, Web presence, and employee management.
Companies can save time and money and get unprecedented
visibility into their operations by utilizing one centralized
and up-to-date database, ending the headache of using
multiple incompatible applications. With anytime, anywhere
Web access, the award-winning solution is the first
and only multi-user, multi-location complete small business
management solution.
