Why do 4 of the top 8 metals mining companies run Oracle Applications?
Mining companies require comprehensive functionality to address their many business and operational challenges. They face significant challenges in human resource management as a result of location and work demands placed on personnel. Equipment maintenance is generally managed at the site, but can draw on resources that are thousands of miles away. Procurement needs vary—involving everything from housing requirements to conveyor belts and hydraulic filter spares—and inventory shortages can spell shutdown. Additionally, a company’s IT system must be able to drill down into detail and roll up to show consolidated financial information. That’s why the world’s most successful mining companies rely on Oracle technology and applications—to get the comprehensive business intelligence they need in order to improve their processes and maximize profitability.
