Finding an ERP solution is tough. But if you have finally decided and are going with Oracle, you deserve kudos for your great choice. 

After, Oracle offers the following benefits over contemporaries – 

• Reduced cost of IT transition
• Improved efficiency
• Better and faster processes
• More efficient reporting
• Wide range of integration options
• Lower cost of maintenance

But here’s the next problem of choice that you’ll face – Finding the right Oracle consultant. 

And you cannot rush through this decision as finding an ERP consultant is as important as finding the right technology. 

But you don’t have to look here and there or face the risk of incorrect decision-making just because this is your first time finding an Oracle consultant company. Nor do you have to fear getting stuck with the incorrect consultants again if that has happened to you in the past. 

How? With this guide right here.

This guide will walk you through

1. The need for hiring Oracle consultants
2. The factors to consider while hiring Oracle consultants
3. The factors to consider during your first contact with prospective Oracle consultants
4. A one-stop Oracle consultation solution for you

Read on. 

And here are 3 more reasons why you need Oracle consultants – 

1. Experts know the nitty-gritty of the system. Something that can take a lot of time for you to learn from scratch. 
2. They have worked with other companies for their Oracle needs and thus, have a deeper understanding of the entire suite of Oracle solutions. 
3.  Their experience helps them anticipate and prepare for potential roadblocks of which you may not be aware.

When you are looking for Oracle consultation companies, here are the key factors that you need to consider.

When you are exploring your options for Oracle consultants, make sure you don’t just rely on what companies claim. Check out their portfolio sections for Oracle project case studies. 

By checking out the types of Oracle projects that your prospective partners have completed in the past you can gauge:

• The size of projects that they can serve
• The kind of results that you can expect
• What kind of experience you will have

How bottlenecks and emergencies can be handled

One of the key factors of difference between a successful Oracle consulting experience and an unsuccessful experience is how well the consultants understand your business. 

No matter how a team of Oracle experts understand Oracle, unless they also understand your business and your unique set of needs, they cannot suggest solutions or offer guidance that will yield the desired results. 

Based on the aforementioned factors, you should be able to shortlist a few (three to five) Oracle consulting partners. The next step towards making the right choice should be to schedule interaction with the individual consultants or teams.

During the initial contact as well, you need to take note of certain factors, which we will discuss further.

1. Templated Responses

Do you feel that the Oracle consultant you are discussing your project with is reading responses from a book of templates?

Well, that’s a major red flag that you should not ignore. 

Every business is unique. And while it is impossible for any Oracle consultant to give you a customized solution for your business needs, you definitely shouldn’t settle for a run-off-the-mill solution. In the initial consultation itself, you should be able to feel that the team or individual is understanding your unique business situation and is willing to work up a customized solution.

The discussion about cost and timelines is inevitable. And it is important that you carefully notice and analyze the cost and time estimates that your prospects share. 

While it is obvious that a cost that exceeds your budget and a longer-than-expected timeline are turn-offs, don’t get attracted to low-cost and quick solutions either. 

Why?

Well, if your Oracle consultants promise to deliver a solution very quickly or at an extremely low cost, it might be a sign of subpar services. 

The right way to judge cost and time estimations is to see how well the consultants can justify them. If they can give valid reasons for the required time and cost, you should definitely go ahead with them.
