Limitations of Customizations
In the case of all cloud applications, there are limitations to how far the application
can be customized. This may be a drawback to some, yet what it really does is force
you to evaluate your processes against the best practices built into cloud
applications. This means going step-by-step and matching the process to the
application and challenging long-held beliefs and practices. That process can be
difficult and the selection of a partner who emphasizes managing the change
process is critical to mitigate any risks.
Performance.
Although the cloud has developed into a mature option for business data
throughout the past decade, the balancing act of control versus speed and
flexibility remains for Oracle customers. The challenge here is to
understand how a migration will truly impact the daily business operations.
Running Oracle cloud applications will inevitably mean a difference in
response time compared to an on-premise infrastructure. There are also
many other aspects to consider, such as how existing integrations have
been set up and whether or not these can be retained in the cloud
environment, or if workarounds will be required. For most businesses, there
will need to be compromises made. This means that the organisation
requires a very clear and established view of what their scope of
acceptance looks like. There must be a solid evaluation of what the
business is willing to compromise on, in order to gain the financial benefit of
a cloud migration.

1Data-Mapping Complexity
In order to share and integrate information, companies need to discover and map
where data lies throughout a company, from isolated departmental SaaS apps to
enterprise ERP running financials, supply chain, and other back-end functions. “Data
mapping is the most complex, time-consuming, and error-prone task in many
integration projects,” says Zavery, “particularly for companies that lack a unified
integration strategy.”
