Oracle ERP in the UAE: NetSuite and Fusion Cloud ERP

• ERP & Finance

  Oracle NetSuite

  A cloud ERP covering financials, inventory, order management, purchasing and reporting in a single SaaS system. It is commonly chosen by growing and mid-sized companies, including groups with several subsidiaries, that want a fully cloud-based platform without managing their own servers.

  Deployment: Cloud (SaaS)

• CRM

  NetSuite CRM

  The customer relationship capabilities within NetSuite, covering leads, opportunities, quotes, sales forecasting and customer service records. Because it shares the same database as NetSuite ERP, it suits companies that want sales and finance to work from one set of customer and order data.

  Deployment: Cloud (SaaS)

• ERP & Finance

  Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP

  Oracle's enterprise ERP suite covering financials, procurement, project management, risk management and enterprise performance management. It is designed for large organisations and complex groups that need extensive controls, multi-entity consolidation and global operations.

• HRMS / HCM

  Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM

  Oracle's enterprise human capital management suite covering core HR, talent, workforce management and, in supported countries, payroll. It typically suits large employers with many employees, multiple entities or regional operations that want HR on the same cloud platform as their Oracle ERP.

• Fast-growing companies that want to stay fully in the cloud

  Businesses that are adding entities, locations or product lines and do not want to manage servers or upgrades often consider NetSuite, where updates are delivered by the vendor.

• Holding groups with several subsidiaries

  Groups that need consolidated reporting across subsidiaries, currencies and possibly countries can use NetSuite for mid-sized structures or Fusion Cloud ERP for larger and more complex ones.

• Enterprises with demanding finance and procurement

  Large organisations with strict approval controls, complex procurement, project accounting or detailed budgeting typically look at Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.

• Large employers planning one HR platform

  Employers with a large or distributed workforce that want core HR, talent and workforce processes on a single enterprise platform may evaluate Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM.

• Companies that want sales and finance on one record

  Businesses frustrated by re-keying orders between a CRM and accounting can use NetSuite CRM alongside NetSuite ERP so quotes, orders and invoices share the same data.

• 01

  Requirement analysis that settles NetSuite versus Fusion

  We document your entities, processes, volumes, approval rules and reporting needs. This makes it clear whether NetSuite or Fusion Cloud ERP is the right scale, and whether you need Fusion Cloud HCM or a different HR product.

• 02

  Neutral platform comparison

  We compare Oracle with options such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Odoo or Zoho against the same requirements, so you can see trade-offs in functionality, effort and ongoing running costs.

• 03

  Connecting you with the right implementation team and people

  NetSuite and Fusion projects call for different skills and delivery methods. We help you find and evaluate the right implementation team and people for the product and your industry, and review scope, assumptions and plans with you.

• 04

  Implementation governance

  We help you run the project with clear phases, decision logs and acceptance criteria. Our focus is keeping you close to standard functionality, which matters in SaaS systems that receive regular vendor updates.

• 05

  Data migration

  We plan what to migrate, including master data, opening balances, open transactions and employee records for HCM, and organise cleansing, trial loads and reconciliation before go-live.

• 06

  Integrations

  We help scope integrations with banks, e-commerce, point-of-sale, payroll providers, warehouse systems and, when required, your accredited e-invoicing service provider.

• 07

  Training and change management

  We help prepare role-based training for finance, procurement, sales and HR users, and a group of key users who can support colleagues once the system is live.

• 08

  Ongoing support and optimisation

  After go-live we help you handle new requirements, review vendor release changes that affect your processes and plan the next phase, such as adding CRM or HCM.

• VAT setup and returns

  VAT at the standard 5% rate must be applied correctly on sales and purchases, shown on compliant tax invoices and summarised for returns to the Federal Tax Authority. We check the UAE tax configuration available for the Oracle product you choose and test it with your real scenarios.

• Corporate Tax data

  Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, Corporate Tax is charged at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with registration and filing through EmaraTax. We help design entities, segments and accounts so your tax advisor can obtain the figures needed for each entity.

• E-invoicing readiness

  Mandatory e-invoicing is being introduced in phases, exchanged through accredited service providers under a Peppol-based model. We help you understand how your Oracle system will generate the required structured data and connect to a provider as timelines are announced.

• Payroll, WPS and Arabic

  Salaries in the UAE are paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS) administered by MOHRE, and gratuity follows the UAE Labour Law. We confirm UAE payroll and WPS support, and Arabic support, for your chosen Oracle product and edition, and plan integrations where a separate payroll tool is needed.

• Confirm rules with the authorities

  Tax rules and deadlines should be confirmed with the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance or a tax advisor. 406 Technologies provides the system side, not tax or legal advice.
