"While SAP has placed its manufacturing operations bets on delivering performance visibility, an integration stack, and a strong network of manufacturing partners, Oracle is taking a different strategy, adding deep manufacturing operations management capabilities that are tightly integrated with core-ERP financial accounting functions, resource planning, and its Daily Business Intelligence.
