2. R12 E-Business Suite is accessible via global networks. It accommodates multiple languages and currencies; supports international features, such as flexible date formats and multiple radix support; supports data in the Unicode Character Set (UTF-8) and has accounting and business localizations built into it.

Technical Architecture:

PHP (Personal Home Page) or Portal becomes the gateway through which the user has rights to access all the information to which they have been granted access. Thus, R12 administrative tasks are simplified while operations costs are reduced.

• Form based: Forms-based users are typically people involved in the transactional operations of an organization.
• HTML/JSP's (Self Service): Self-service users are infrequent users who want their interface with R12 to be as simple and as quick as possible.
• Business Intelligence: Business intelligence users are senior executives and managers who want an easy-to-use interface that can be used to reveal critical business information and reports.
• Mobile: users whose jobs are likely to keep them away from a readily available, network-connected computer. example : sales representatives, field representative. By utilizing the mobile

interface, they are able to send and receive information at points where it is important and convenient for them.
