Procurement workflows are adapting to a new way of doing things through the advent of cloud technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and automation. This paper examines how Oracle Cloud Applications 36SOR mainly Oracle Fusion Procurement and Oracle NetSuite improve procurement practices in areas including manufacturing, logistics, government, and services. The study draws on examples from empirical research, case studies, and real-life technical implementations to showcase how features like robotic process automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), and real-time data analytics improve procurement processes, cut supply chain operational costs, and increase compliance and collaboration with suppliers. The study revealed that automation and intelligent decision-making from Oracle's cloud applications substantially reduce manual human errors, allow companies to leverage data-based procurement methods, and support organizational agility. The findings show that organizations must take an integral approach, through a combination of technology, people enablement, and organizational architecture to optimize procurement's full potential. The study concluded that Oracle Cloud Applications are an important enabler to moving procurement from a cost center to a strategic value creator.
