Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service is enterprise-class product master

data management, delivered via Cloud for lower cost and faster deployment.

Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service allows organizations to take control

of their product master data across their entire portfolio of applications, both

Oracle and non-Oracle. It consolidates product information from heterogeneous

systems, stores it in a centrally managed repository, enriches it with structured

and unstructured data, and then shares it across systems as well as with other

internal and external parties. The result is reduced maintenance, improved

accuracy and faster new system and product introductions.

Establish a Foundation for Rapid Innovation and Growth

As companies have transformed and grown, either organically or through mergers and

acquisitions, they have been left with multiple overlapping and redundant systems, and with

that, a severe product data management challenge. This restricts their agility and flexibility,

increases costs and impacts quality – slowing their ability to innovate and bring new products

to market. Oracle’s solution to this product master data dilemma is Oracle Fusion Product Hub

Cloud Service.

Deploy on the Oracle Cloud for Lower Cost and Faster Time to Value

By providing this solution on a monthly subscription basis, completely hosted and maintained

on the Oracle Public Cloud, companies can transform their costs from capital expenditure to

operating expenditure – while they focus on their core competency of using the application

rather than hosting, maintaining and upgrading it. The Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud

Service is designed to be up and running in your organization within days, and be

implemented within weeks. By leveraging extremely robust security and risk management

tools and processes, Oracle ensures that customers’ enterprise data is protected from any

external and internal threats while preventing any potential loss of information. The ability to

import and export product information in various file formats enables customers to exchange

data with any of their applications on-premise or on the cloud. All of this leads to lower costs,

lower hassles and faster time to value – without compromising enterprise-class capability.

Consolidate and Enrich Critical Product Data

Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service provides multiple mechanisms for on-boarding

product data including CSV, Excel and XML file formats. Product data in supplier specific

formats can be on-boarded via a simple transformation map defined through an intuitive drag-

and-drop interface. Data stewards can also review product data and ensure data accuracy prior

to importing data into the hub.

In Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service, users can create and manage both structured and

unstructured product information such as specifications, features, product structures, images,

documents, as well as establish business relationships with other products or trading partner

items. The extensible product data model, with associated validations, allows customers to

master their enterprise product data in the context of their unique business needs, systems and

a wide array of use-cases.

Enforce Data Governance

Data Governance is an essential platform for successful master data management as it brings

together people, process and technology to establish enterprise-wide standards and policies on

important aspects of data ownership, data security, data quality and key business processes.

Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service enables master data governance by providing a

holistic data governance framework that allows organizations to enforce their standards and

policies for managing product data. Role based and data level security gives organizations the

ability to enforce granular access control on product information. A robust business rules

framework, augmented with rule-impact analysis, allows customers to validate various aspects

of their product definitions including attribute values, relationships and cross references across

business entities and assess the impact prior to committing a business rule.

Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service also provides a flexible and extensible workflow

management framework that allows customers to define the workflow best suited to their

organizational structure and business needs. Version Management allows deployment of

changes to product information with a future date, thus allowing business operations sufficient

time to adopt these changes. Ongoing data changes can be controlled via change policies and

workflows, allowing review and approval before changes are implemented. This ability

reduces administrative overhead, enforces governance policies and streamlines the release

management process resulting in significant cost and time savings.
