Transforming Enterprise Resource Planning with Oracle Redwood: A Modern Approach to ERP

Pleasanton, CA, Mar 19, 2025

According to a recent ERP stats study, more than 70% of large enterprises depend on ERP systems for their daily operational success. However, this does come without its share of challenges. A PWC report found that 88% of executives are unable to realize the full value of their technology investments. From an ERP perspective, this often leads to inconsistent and disconnected systems, manual, time-consuming tasks, data silos that limit visibility, and clunky interfaces that result in inefficient and frustrating user experiences.

So how do businesses optimize their ERP systems, overcome challenges and drive continued success?

Enhancing ERP experience with Oracle Redwood

As businesses strive to optimize ERP operations, offering a seamless user experience is key to boosting productivity and driving continuous innovation. For businesses to achieve this outcome, a reliable, modern platform built with capabilities like predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, generative AI, and machine learning is essential to act as an enabler.

Redwood UX was first announced by Oracle at Oracle OpenWorld in 2019 as their next-generation user experience (UX) for cloud applications. Since then, Oracle has been gradually deploying Redwood across its product suite, including ERP, HCM, SCM and CX.

Oracle is working towards making Redwood UX as the standard for all Oracle applications by 2026, and this includes migrating to Redwood on Oracle ERP cloud for financials, procurement or supply chain management.

Oracle Redwood is leading this digital transformation, offering a modern design system and user experience (UX) framework. It enhances usability, streamlines workflows, and creates a unified look and feel across Oracle Cloud ERP modules. 

Today’s businesses face key inflection points, including operational growth and the drive for efficiency, especially in shared services models. Digital transformation also calls for real-time analytics and collaboration tools, both supported by Redwood’s capabilities.

Oracle Redwood: A new era of ERP user experience

Oracle Redwood is designed to deliver a reimagined ERP user experience that simplifies interactions and improves efficiency. This modern UX framework transforms Oracle Fusion applications by introducing built-in best practices like:

• User-centric design for intuitive, streamlined navigation

• A simpler, smarter interface for everyday tasks

For ERP systems, when navigations are unintuitive, involving multiple clicks, productivity takes a hit.

Let’s look at key features of Redwood for ERP:

• Modernized dashboards with intuitive navigation
• Minimal, user-friendly layouts that reduce cognitive workloads
