Oracle Redwood - not just a Facelift, it's Fusion Reimagined

Redwood Experience: Ushering in the Next Era of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications

In a world where business users expect consumer grade design and enterprise grade performance, Oracle's Redwood Experience is a bold and necessary evolution. It's not just a UI facelift; it's a strategic overhaul that reimagines the entire user journey across Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. With Redwood, users enjoy a unified, intuitive, and design forward interface across all Oracle applications from ERP to CX.

What is Oracle Redwood? Isn’t just a redesign …. It’s a reimagined

Oracle Redwood is the next generation design system and user interface (UI) framework for Oracle Cloud Applications. Introduced to improve usability, responsiveness, and user productivity, Redwood offers a clean, minimalist design paired with embedded intelligence and automation tools. The transformation is deep rooted, impacting not only the surface visuals but also how users navigate, interact, and extract insights from the system.

The Philosophy Powering Oracle Redwood

The enterprise world is changing rapidly. With hybrid workforces, rising user expectations, and the need for faster decision making, traditional ERP interfaces are no longer enough. Oracle’s Redwood Experience is designed to:

• Deliver intuitive, human centric design
• Enable real time decision making through contextual insights
• Support scalability and agility for growing businesses
• Foster consistency across modules, reducing cognitive load and training effort

Key Features of Oracle Redwood

With a clear perspective on how Redwood transforms the Fusion landscape, EQInt stands ready to guide you through a successful enablement journey.

Below is an outline of the path to achieving Redwood enablement.

1. Oracle Instance Analysis
The existing Classic and Responsive Oracle UIs are not inherently compatible with the Redwood experience. To enable a successful transition, our experts will conduct a detailed analysis of the current system using Oracle’s diagnostic and development tools to fully understand all underlying business processes and custom components.

• Analyze the current UI framework to assess compatibility with Redwood standards.
• Utilize Oracle tools to review existing configurations, extensions, and workflows.
• Identify and document custom components that may require redesign or redevelopment.
• Evaluate business processes to determine necessary adjustments for Redwood alignment.

2. Redwood Mapping
Legacy ADF (Application Development Framework) customizations may not seamlessly transition to Redwood. Since Redwood introduces a fundamentally new design system and underlying UI architecture, existing custom built pages using ADF may need to be:

• Rewritten or re-architected using Visual Builder or Redwood compatible frameworks
• Evaluated for redundancy, as some functionality might now be standard
• Validated against Redwood standards to maintain design and UX consistency
  
• Leveraging Oracle Fusion AI Studio to implement AI-driven use cases aimed at optimizing and streamlining business processes.

3. Adoption (Training)
The Redwood experience introduces new navigation patterns, UI behaviors, and interaction flows. To ensure smooth adoption:

• End user training will be essential, particularly for high transaction roles
• Change management initiatives (like job aids, walkthroughs, and champions) can ease the transition
• IT and support teams will also need enablement to handle new configurations and UX nuances
  

4. Completion and Go Live
Oracle is rolling out new features and UI enhancements exclusively in Redwood, meaning:

• Ensuring smooth transitions for the business users
• Functionality gaps may emerge if users remain on the classic UI
• Future innovation (AI prompts, contextual analytics, conversational experiences) may be Redwood only
• Early migration unlocks access to cutting edge capabilities in ERP, HCM, and other modules
  

Why Forward Thinking Enterprises Are Embracing Redwood
The Redwood Experience addresses long standing enterprise pain points:

• Reduces training time by offering a consistent, guided UI
• Increases user satisfaction with responsive and clean design
• Boosts productivity by embedding insights where work happens
• Future proofs your investment with a scalable, modern architecture
