3. Savers
The Savers family of stores is a for-profit, global thrift retailer offering great quality, gently used clothing, accessories and household goods.
Our business model of purchasing, reselling and recycling gives communities a smart way to shop and keeps more than 650 million pounds of used goods from landfills each year.
We also help more than 120 nonprofit organizations by paying them for donated goods, which supports their vital community programs and services.
Our brands comprise Savers (in the U.S), Value Village (in the U.S. and Canada), Unique (in the U.S.), Village des Valeurs (in Quebec) and Savers Australia. All in all, we operate over 330 locations and have 22,000 employees.

6. But… careers link to E-Business Suite iRecruitment

7. Result…

8. Result…(now how we did it!)

9. Enhanced User Experience (UX) in EBS:
Option 1: Upgrade - R12.2 for OAF improvements
No changes to iRecruitment candidate experience
Swan -> Skyros/Alta….still doesn't help with Brand or Mobile
Responsiveness for mobile devices not really available
Would need to upgrade whole E-Business footprint (not in my budget!)

10. Enhanced User Experience (UX) in EBS:
Option 2: Custom Front Ends & Applications
Build-your-own application or buy 3rd Party product
Gives you control over your design / can be made responsive
But…
High Development, Technology / Integration costs
Future Maintenance / License / Support costs
High Testing effort required - need to retest every possible scenario again
(not really E-Business Suite!)

11. Enhanced User Experience (UX) in EBS:
Option 3: Personalization Framework
No additional technology required. All seeded functionality
"Reuse" "Reimagine"
Personalizations
Each OAF page is a webpage… so you can add any content you wish -> the only limit is your imagination!
Take advantage of CSS / CSS3 / HTML5 / Javascript / jQuery via Raw Text items
Custom Look and Feel (CLAF)
Control over branding and page layout

19. About Oracle Skins

Our Mission:
Our aim is for skinning to be seen as a fundamental part of any Oracle project.
We want to be the preferred choice for customers, as well as all Oracle Partners for their User Experience (UX) & User Interface (UI) related needs.

22. Recommendation: "Reuse" & "Reimagine"
Skins give you a great opportunity to enhance UI/UX without additional technology investment
Use an already established branding for your EBS to reduce design process/project timescale
Use as an opportunity to look at your existing E-Business process flows and see if you can improve the UX via simple changes to content, page flow, and reduce chance of error screens.
[may not take as long as you think…for us it was only personalization knowledge required]
Screenshot your pages, take a red-pen to them, and "re-imagine"!
Use Icons/Images and Positive Messaging where possible
