Story
American Electric Power did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed source to pay to move. In the United States, procurement and AP already knew where procurement and payables went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Oracle Fusion from Oracle is now in that path. Oracle delivers enterprise applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, including Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The company treats it as production tooling for source to pay, which is why procurement and AP live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
American Electric Power can show how procurement and payables is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run source to pay on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
