What is Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)?
Oracle's on-premise ERP suite (release 12.2) covering financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and HR.
EBS uses responsibilities for access, concurrent programs for batch processing, and flexfields for extensibility. Oracle has committed support for 12.2 well into the 2030s. Many EBS customers are evaluating moves to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.
