ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands and
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today
announced that Dutch telecommunications leader KPN has chosen
Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite. The implementation,
managed by Deloitte and Oracle Consulting, will see KPN deploy
Oracle Fusion Applications for finance, supply chain management and
human resources to help streamline the company's business
operations.
KPN has over six million consumer customers (broadband and
mobile) in the Netherlands. The
company aims to make the
Netherlands the best-connected country in the world and
deliver the most environmentally sustainable network and services
in the region. It has been rapidly diversifying its business
towards digital services over the last few years, which required
the company to rethink how it manages its core business processes
so that it can quickly and easily embrace new business models and
scale new services.
Oracle's integrated cloud platform will enable KPN to optimize
financial planning and forecasting, modernize its HR processes and
improve the employee experience, and consolidate and streamline
procurement and supply chain management. The rollout will also help
KPN meet its goal of significantly reducing operational costs and
energy consumption across its business.
"Digitalization is transforming how we work and live, and also
offers significant opportunities to recover from the pandemic and
address many of the social and environmental challenges we face.
KPN is transforming its business to support our customers in this
new world, and this requires us to simplify and consolidate our
operations to become more agile, more adaptable, and more flexible
in what is a continually shifting environment. We believe Oracle
can support us in this transformation," said Chris Figee, CFO at
KPN.
Oracle Fusion Applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply
Chain Management & Manufacturing (SCM) and Oracle Fusion Cloud
Human Capital Management (HCM) will enable KPN to standardise
business processes, and manage finance, HR and supply chain data on
a single integrated IT platform.
"Telecom companies like KPN are reimagining operations as they
diversify their businesses to capture new market opportunities and
meet rapidly shifting customer expectations. The global pandemic
has added more urgency to this process," said Cormac Watters, executive vice president, EMEA
Applications, Oracle. "KPN's culture of sustainable innovation and
customer-centricity has enabled it to lead in the Netherlands for years, and with Oracle
Fusion Applications' continuous innovation, the company will be
able to take advantage of the latest emerging technologies and the
delivery of next-generation digital and connectivity services in
the Netherlands."
