"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."

It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
