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 captured that 88% of executives are unable to realize the value from technological investments made. From an ERP investment perspective, this often leads to inconsistent and disconnected systems, manual, time-consuming standard tasks, data silos leading to limited visibility, and clunky interfaces leading to inefficient, dissatisfied user experiences.

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

Enhancing ERP experience with Oracle Redwood

Just as businesses strive to optimize ERP operations, offering a seamless user experience is key to boosting productivity and driving continuous innovation. But for businesses to achieve this outcome, a reliable, modern platform built using capabilities such as 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 Oracle cloud applications. Since then, Oracle has been slowly deploying Redwood across their 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 at the forefront of this digital transformation, offering a modern design system and user experience (UX) framework for Oracle applications. It enhances usability, streamlines workflows, and creates a unified look and feel across Oracle Cloud ERP modules. 

There are certain inflection points businesses are facing today. This includes operational growth and efficiency – more so if you move to a shared services model. Then comes digital transformation, which involves real-time analytics and collaboration tools. 

Oracle Redwood: A new era of ERP user experience

Oracle Redwood is aimed at providing businesses with a reimagined 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 an intuitive and streamlined experience
• AI-powered UI enhancements for intelligent navigation and recommendations
• Unified look and feel across applications for consistency and ease of use

A simpler, smarter interface

For ERP systems, when navigations are unintuitive, involving multiple clicks, productivity takes a hit. But with Redwood, key ERP processes such as procurement and financial approvals will require fewer steps, improving efficiency and accelerating business operations. Let’s look at key features of Redwood for ERP:

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