Case Study: Opera Software achieves nearly 3x faster financial close and global scalability with Oracle Financials Managed Cloud Service

Opera Software Closes Financial Books Nearly 3x Faster and Ensures Scalability and High Availability

Opera Software, a global provider of browsers, mobile services, and a mobile-ad platform reaching hundreds of millions of users, faced increasing complexity from rapid growth, acquisitions, and multiple legal entities across Norway, Sweden, China, Japan, South Korea, Poland, India, and the U.S. The company needed to replace fragmented finance systems (QuickBooks and Maconomy) with a scalable, flexible ERP to support global finance teams and simplify consolidation and reporting.

Opera implemented Oracle Financials Managed Cloud Service in phased rollouts with Oracle partner Intelenex, migrating 11 of 30 legal entities in five months. The managed-cloud solution delivered near‑real‑time reporting, faster onboarding of acquisitions, reduced system redundancy, and unlimited scalability—with internal monthly and quarterly close cycles trimmed from 11 days to 4 days (nearly 3x faster) and improved availability and administration for continued growth.
