Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) continues to be a mission-critical ERP platform for enterprises worldwide. With Oracle committing to long-term Premier Support and continuous innovation, organizations can confidently modernize their Oracle EBS environments without disruption.
Oracle has announced that Premier Support for on-premises Oracle EBS will be available for at least the next decade, with annual reviews to determine further extensions. This assurance enables organizations to protect their EBS investments while gradually adopting modern technologies.
What Is the Future of Oracle EBS?
Oracle EBS remains a powerful, integrated enterprise platform that allows organizations to operate efficiently using a single data center and a unified database. It continues to support core business functions, including:
- Supply Chain Management
- Human Resource Management
- Transportation Management
- Logistics
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Warehouse Management
- Audit Management and Regulatory Compliance
With continuous updates and compatibility with cloud technologies, Oracle EBS is well positioned to remain a backbone ERP system for years to come.
Security, Compliance, and Audit Challenges in Oracle EBS
As enterprises expand and adopt hybrid ERP environments, Oracle EBS users face increasing challenges related to:
- Managing security risks and internal threats
- Meeting evolving IT and regulatory compliance requirements
- Handling converging business processes across systems
- Maintaining audit readiness in complex environments
Manual audit and compliance processes are no longer sustainable. The probability of maintaining consistent compliance without automation is extremely low.
The Need for a Cross-Application Compliance Strategy
To remain audit-ready and compliant, organizations need a comprehensive, cross-application security and compliance approach. This strategy enables enterprises to:
- Continuously monitor user activity across Oracle EBS applications
- Detect and mitigate security risks in real time
- Automate audit and compliance workflows
- Reduce manual effort and operational overhead
Such an approach ensures organizations remain compliant while maintaining agility and control.
The Power of Oracle Cloud
Oracle strongly supports cloud adoption and promotes migration to:
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS)
- Oracle Software as a Service (SaaS)
Oracle recognizes cloud as the future due to its scalability, resilience, and security benefits. Organizations are encouraged to adopt one or more of the following models:
- Oracle EBS integrated with Oracle SaaS applications
- Oracle EBS deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS)
- Migration from Oracle EBS to Oracle SaaS applications
These options allow enterprises to modernize at their own pace while preserving critical EBS functionality.
Autonomous Technology: The Future of IT Operations
Oracle envisions a future where large portions of IT operations are powered by Autonomous Technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
While systems will not become fully autonomous, automation will significantly reduce manual workloads. According to an Oracle survey:
Nearly 95% of IT professionals still create or upgrade databases manually today.
With autonomous technology, human expertise can shift away from repetitive tasks and focus on high-value, strategic initiatives that drive business growth.
Why Oracle EBS Remains a Strategic Investment?
Oracle continues to invest heavily in both Cloud Infrastructure and Applications, ensuring customers can modernize without abandoning EBS. Organizations benefit from:
- Long-term Premier Support (minimum 10 years)
- Compatibility with future Oracle releases
- Seamless cloud integration options
- Protection of existing EBS investments
