Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service is enterprise-class product master
data management, delivered via Cloud for lower cost and faster deployment.
Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service allows organizations to take control
of their product master data across their entire portfolio of applications, both
Oracle and non-Oracle. It consolidates product information from heterogeneous
systems, stores it in a centrally managed repository, enriches it with structured
and unstructured data, and then shares it across systems as well as with other
internal and external parties. The result is reduced maintenance, improved
accuracy and faster new system and product introductions.
Establish a Foundation for Rapid Innovation and Growth
As companies have transformed and grown, either organically or through mergers and
acquisitions, they have been left with multiple overlapping and redundant systems, and with
that, a severe product data management challenge. This restricts their agility and flexibility,
increases costs and impacts quality – slowing their ability to innovate and bring new products
to market. Oracle’s solution to this product master data dilemma is Oracle Fusion Product Hub
Cloud Service.

Deploy on the Oracle Cloud for Lower Cost and Faster Time to Value
By providing this solution on a monthly subscription basis, completely hosted and maintained
on the Oracle Public Cloud, companies can transform their costs from capital expenditure to
operating expenditure – while they focus on their core competency of using the application
rather than hosting, maintaining and upgrading it. The Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud
Service is designed to be up and running in your organization within days, and be
implemented within weeks. By leveraging extremely robust security and risk management
tools and processes, Oracle ensures that customers’ enterprise data is protected from any
external and internal threats while preventing any potential loss of information. The ability to
import and export product information in various file formats enables customers to exchange
data with any of their applications on-premise or on the cloud. All of this leads to lower costs,
lower hassles and faster time to value – without compromising enterprise-class capability.
Consolidate and Enrich Critical Product Data
Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service provides multiple mechanisms for on-boarding
product data including CSV, Excel and XML file formats. Product data in supplier specific
formats can be on-boarded via a simple transformation map defined through an intuitive dragand-drop interface. Data stewards can also review product data and ensure data accuracy prior
to importing data into the hub.
In Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service, users can create and manage both structured and
ORACLE DATA SHEET
unstructured product information such as specifications, features, product structures, images,
documents, as well as establish business relationships with other products or trading partner
items. The extensible product data model, with associated validations, allows customers to
master their enterprise product data in the context of their unique business needs, systems and
a wide array of use-cases.

Enforce Data Governance
Data Governance is an essential platform for successful master data management as it brings
together people, process and technology to establish enterprise-wide standards and policies on
important aspects of data ownership, data security, data quality and key business processes.
Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service enables master data governance by providing a
holistic data governance framework that allows organizations to enforce their standards and
policies for managing product data. Role based and data level security gives organizations the
ability to enforce granular access control on product information. A robust business rules
framework, augmented with rule-impact analysis, allows customers to validate various aspects
of their product definitions including attribute values, relationships and cross references across
business entities and assess the impact prior to committing a business rule.
Oracle Fusion Product Hub Cloud Service also provides a flexible and extensible workflow
management framework that allows customers to define the workflow best suited to their
organizational structure and business needs. Version Management allows deployment of
changes to product information with a future date, thus allowing business operations sufficient
time to adopt these changes. Ongoing data changes can be controlled via change policies and
workflows, allowing review and approval before changes are implemented. This ability
reduces administrative overhead, enforces governance policies and streamlines the release
management process resulting in significant cost and time savings.
