Business scenario
ANYLife - New York Life Insurance - experienced an amazing growth in business during the last few years. As a result, several new branches were opened in different countries.
To support this growth and be ready for further expansion, ANYLife decided to improve the efficiency of its internal processes, HR, Payroll, Finance, and Procurement, and optimize its overhead costs. In particular, ANYLife decided to improve the management of Financial Processes, showing recurring peaks at close of month and quarter times. As a solution ANYLife chose to invest in Oracle E-Business Suite a comprehensive suite of integrated, global business applications.
Today however, as the operational environment becomes more complex, the built-in scheduling capabilities of Oracle E-Business Suite are no longer sufficient and often require a manual intervention. This is very crucial to ANYLife, especially during the financial close process. Moreover, as the business grows, ANYLife needs to integrate Oracle E-Business Suite with other external business applications like SAP, Cognos and cloud based applications.
The solution is IBM Workload Scheduler integration with Oracle E-Business Suite to
- automate, monitor, and control Oracle E-Business applications,
- reduce complexity, manual tasks and batch execution time.
Thanks to the integration among different systems, and by conditioning the execution of HR, PAYROLL, FINANCIAL and COGNOS REPORTING jobs, ANYLife can have the monthly labor cost process controlled by IBM Workload Scheduler.
A single point of control during the financial close process reduces complexity and allows for an error-free execution of the batch jobs, and the financial reports are always available without delay.
ANYLife has been able to reduce administration overhead, improve the operations efficiency and increase the reliability of the enterprise. The company optimized business results while achieving a high return on investments.
