AUSTIN, Texas, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been named a Leader in 2021 Gartner "Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Suites for Midsize, Large and Global Enterprises" for the fifth consecutive year. Of the 10 products evaluated, Oracle is placed highest for its ability to execute and is placed furthest to the right for completeness of vision. A complimentary copy of the report is available here.

According to the report, "Leaders demonstrate a market-defining vision of how core financial management systems and processes can be supported and improved by moving them to the cloud. They couple this with a clear Ability to Execute this vision through products, services and go-to-market strategies. They have a strong presence in the market and are growing their revenue and market share. In this market, Leaders show a consistent ability to secure deals with enterprises of different sizes and have a good depth of functionality across all areas of core financial management. They have multiple proofs of successful deployments by customers, both in their home region and elsewhere. Their offerings are often used by system integrator partners to support financial transformation initiatives. Leaders typically address a wide market audience by supporting broad market requirements. However, they may fail to meet the specific needs of vertical markets or other, more specialized segments, which might be better addressed by Niche Players in particular."

In addition, the report states "Gartner's client inquiry data shows that interest in CCFM suites is increasing significantly. Many application leaders and senior finance users believe that moving to the cloud will enable them to easily avoid the challenges they face with on-premises core financial applications — such as cumbersome UIs, too much customization and expensive, hard-to-manage upgrades."

"Our world has been radically altered this past year and our customers have successfully pivoted against all challenges to accelerate their finance transformations and modernize their business processes in the cloud," said Rondy Ng, senior vice president of applications development, Oracle. "We are privileged to be acknowledged by Gartner for a sustained half decade of Cloud ERP leadership. We believe that this validates our product strategy and customer centricity, our focus on continuous innovation, and recognizes the confidence our customers place in Oracle Cloud ERP."
