In 2015, Bourbon implemented Oracle E-Business Suite, an ERP Financial application supporting the group finance and procurement footprint. The implementation and ongoing program included an ERP Application Manager team responsible for operational maintenance, deployments, and the rollout of new functionalities across the entire group, covering 150 entities in around ten countries including France, Angola, Nigeria, Congo, Gabon, Singapore, Brazil, Italy, Norway, Dubai, Romania, and Portugal.
The Oracle E-Business Suite deployment encompassed core finance and operational modules, specifically AR, AP, GL, FA, PA, PO, INV, eTAX, and OKS, with six charts of accounts configured and four languages deployed, French, English, Italian, and Portuguese. Functional coverage focused on accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, fixed assets, project accounting, procurement, inventory management, and tax compliance workflows consistent with ERP Financial requirements.
The program included an upgrade path for Oracle E-Business Suite from version 11.5.10.2 to 12.2.4 across the 150 entities, accompanied by a coordinated change of accounting key and centralized configuration of charts of accounts to support multi-entity accounting consistency. The technical footprint was operated as a centrally managed Oracle E-Business Suite environment servicing multiple legal entities and language locales, with configuration and release management handled by the internal application team.
Governance and rollout were managed through the ERP Application Manager structure based in Marseille, which combined ongoing operational support with phased deployments and functional change implementation across finance and procurement functions. The implementation narrative emphasizes structured application ownership, multilingual localization, cross-entity chart of accounts control, and a major platform upgrade and accounting key realignment executed at group scale.

Deployment to other affiliates began in 2009 and the rollout covered Bourbon worldwide operations, aligning HR, crewing, payroll and operational planning functions under the Mintra OCS HR instance. Governance and workflow standardisation focused on centralised reporting and compliance controls to harmonise crew management and competence assurance across sites, while the platform provided real time visibility for resource optimisation across the organisation.

Operational coverage targeted the finance and monthly close teams and extended to subsidiary data owners responsible for submitting financial transmissions. Governance incorporated verification checkpoints and control routines for subsidiary data, plus documented reprocessing steps and reconciliations to preserve auditability and consistency during the close sequence.
