Exploring Demantra's BPM capabilities


Oracle Demantra's various module releases have a lot to offer for small and medium scale enterprises, who can utilize the out of box processes(best in class) as it is to a lot extent. The standard demand forecasting and S&OP planning process offered with the install benefits the SMBs, but for larger enterprises there is always a need to create a custom process. But, Demantra does have BPM(Business Process Management) capabilities as part of its native platform.

Demantra's platform flexibility allows larger enterprises to build a totally custom tailored process. Some of the already established custom process implementations are:
- Store level forecasting and replenishment planning
- hourly forecasting
- Labor planning
- Safety stock calculations etc.

Basic entities like series, levels, workflows, methods, worksheets etc. are used to create any required custom business processes. The flexibility of designing pretty much any kind of custom process by usage of these entities, makes Demantra's BPM capabilities stronger.

With Demantra being a strong pillar of Oracle's VCP offering, the future road map for its BPM capabilities will be to get upgraded to Oracle's Fusion BPM suite.

Also seeing almost all the Demantra integrations releases already out in market, we expect to see more robust and web-based versions(inching towards Fusion) of Demantra in future.
