Case Study: Axcella achieves a smooth Oracle ERP Cloud transition with Apps Associates

Apps Associates Ensures Axcella’s Smooth Transition to Oracle ERP Cloud

Axcella, a Cambridge, MA biotech company moving from discovery into development and clinical trials, needed a more scalable finance system as rapid growth made QuickBooks insufficient. The company turned to Apps Associates and Oracle Cloud ERP to support future needs like foreign entities, consolidations, and global operations.

Apps Associates led the Oracle Cloud ERP implementation, configuring core financials including general ledger, accounts payable, fixed assets, expense management, and American Express integration, while also guiding testing, best-practice process design, and post-go-live support. The result was a smooth transition that gave Axcella a strong financial foundation, improved reporting, budgeting, and forecasting, and added greater precision and discipline to the close process.
