Why TCA Matters for Clients running Oracle Ebusiness Suite

Why TCA Matters - What clients get from the TCA architecture:

  • Architecture to model your customers and other trading partners as you see best for your business
  • Architecture that will grow with your requirements
  • Features to maintain extremely reliable customer information (e.g. ABC Co. is now sure that their supplier John of XYZ Inc is the same person as their customer, John of XYZ Inc)
  • Glue that ties several E-Business Suite flows in a seamless way
  • Customer Data Integration solution even if you are not running a single E-Business Suite module
  • Platform that can play a key role in your IT landscape for Master Data Management

Why TCA Matters - What clients have to do:
  • Take a close look at how you do business and how your business processes are most efficiently performed
  • Ask questions about how you should model customer information e.g. which entities should be modeled as parties; when should you create an account; should you create multiple accounts for some parties; should you create multiple billing sites for an account; should you create account relationships
  • Even if you are implementing few modules of E-Business Suite to start with, keep in mind the bigger picture about customer information
