The Redwood Transformation: Intelligent, Automated, Human-Centric Cloud

Executive Summary

Oracle Redwood represents the future of enterprise user experience (UX) within Oracle Cloud Applications. Purpose-built to deliver a modern, intelligent, and seamless digital experience, Redwood combines intuitive design, embedded automation, and AI-driven insights to improve user productivity and business performance. With Redwood, Oracle is redefining how enterprise applications are experienced by making them more human-centric, proactive, and adaptable.

This proposal outlines our vision and delivery approach to implementing Redwood in your Oracle Cloud landscape by maximizing value, accelerating ROI, and ensuring a scalable transformation.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications—spanning ERP, EPM, and HCM—offer hospitals an integrated, intelligent, and secure foundation to modernize operations, enhance decision-making, and future-proof their organizations. This whitepaper outlines why now is the ideal time for hospitals to transition to Oracle Fusion Cloud and how CloudAvanti is uniquely positioned to support them on that journey.

Market Trend

The shift toward digital-first operations is accelerating, driven by changing workforce expectations and the need for operational efficiency. Key market trends influencing UX transformation include:

  • Consumer-Grade Experience in the Enterprise: Business users expect the same ease of use, responsiveness, and personalization found in consumer apps.
  • AI-Driven Decision-Making: Organizations are leveraging machine learning to make proactive, data-informed business decisions.
  • Process Automation: Enterprises are adopting hyper automation to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve accuracy.
  • Unified, Cloud-Native Platforms: Integrated cloud ecosystems that offer consistency across functions are increasingly favored.

Oracle Redwood directly responds to these trends, setting a new standard for enterprise application design and functionality.

Oracle's Strategic Investment in Redwood UI

Oracle is heavily investing in Redwood as the long-term design foundation across all its cloud applications. The Redwood UX framework is not just a design refresh but a strategic shift in Oracle’s product direction. With each quarterly release, Redwood is being extended to new modules and deepened with more AI and automation capabilities.

Oracle continues to embed Redwood into core application processes from Finance and HR to Procurement and Talent Management while enhancing developer tools, accessibility standards, and extensibility for custom applications. This ensures that Redwood will remain the standard for future innovation, scalability, and enterprise UX consistency.
