Why CME Organizations Choose Apps Associates
CME is a high-complexity vertical. Broadcast networks, streaming services, sports organizations, communications infrastructure providers, and entertainment companies all share a common challenge: legacy Oracle environments that limit agility, create data silos, and burden finance and operations teams with manual work.
Apps Associates combines deep Oracle expertise with CME-specific accelerators, proven migration experience, and a track record of multi-pillar transformations across the vertical. Whether you are moving off Oracle E-Business Suite, modernizing your financial planning environment, or applying AI to billing workflows, we bring the experience and the methodology to get it done.
Our CME Capabilities
Apps Associates has completed enterprise-scale EBS to Oracle Cloud transformations for some of the most complex CME organizations in the country. These are not simple upgrades, they are full multi-pillar transformations that require deep Oracle knowledge, rigorous change management, and a partner that understands how CME businesses operate.
CME organizations rarely need just one Oracle solution. Apps Associates manages the full scope—ERP, EPM, HCM, analytics, and integrations—delivered as a coordinated program rather than a collection of disconnected workstreams. AppsTransform, our multi-pillar delivery model, gives IT and finance leaders a single accountable partner across the entire Oracle landscape.

Revenue structures in CME are complex. Subscription models, advertising revenue, content production budgets, and rights obligations all require planning and forecasting capabilities that go beyond standard finance tools. Apps Associates delivers Oracle EPM solutions built around how CME finance teams actually work. Our experience reflects the depth of our planning and forecasting expertise across the vertical.
High billing volumes create a specific and costly problem across CME: unapplied cash. When payments arrive without clear invoice references, collections teams spend significant time on manual matching. Apps Associates applies AI directly to this challenge, automating cash application and streamlining quote-to-cash workflows to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy at scale.
Rights and royalties management is a recognized gap in Oracle’s native capabilities. Through our partnership with Fadel, Apps Associates delivers a complete rights and royalties solution that integrates directly with your Oracle environment. Broadcast media, entertainment, and publishing organizations gain the specialized capability they need without sacrificing platform consistency or adding unmanaged point solutions.
Apps Associates has developed proprietary intellectual property built specifically for sports organizations. Our sports analytics accelerator gives teams, venues, and associations a data foundation that supports faster, more informed decisions across operations, performance management, and commercial strategy. Inter Miami, CONCACAF, and FIFA are among the organizations that have deployed this capability.
Customer Success Highlight
A regional wireless and broadband provider—expanding into new business lines within the telecom sector—had outgrown its heavily customized Oracle EBS environment after more than 15 years, facing fragmented processes, siloed operations, and cultural resistance to change. Apps Associates introduced a structured, people-first change management approach, combining a clear change framework, tailored communications, role-based training, and consistent stakeholder alignment to reset the transformation and prepare teams for Oracle Cloud.
The results spoke for themselves: 100% of stakeholders rated the Change Management value at 5/5 and reported full satisfaction with the team, while 70% rated training quality as “outstanding.” The outcome was a confident, aligned organization ready to adopt Oracle Cloud and unlock improved performance and scalability.
AppsAI for CME
AI is creating measurable value for CME organizations across billing, planning, and operational workflows. Apps Associates brings AI capabilities across the delivery lifecycle, from AI-assisted implementations that reduce project costs to AI-powered agents embedded in Oracle Fusion that automate high-volume, repetitive tasks.
For CME specifically, our AI work targets the billing and cash application challenges that consume collections teams at high-volume organizations, as well as operational workflows where manual processes slow decision-making and drive unnecessary cost.
