Why Redwood for Oracle CPQ & why should it matter to your business? (Part 2)

Oracle’s John Vakoc shared an update on LinkedIn recently about being:
“Excited to reintroduce Oracle CPQ with enhanced Redwood user experience and AI-driven functionality.”

This announcement is more than just a UI (user interface) refresh. It’s a fundamental shift in how Oracle CPQ is designed to deliver business value. If you’re a product owner or decision-maker for Oracle CPQ in your organisation, the question isn’t if Redwood matters to you, it’s how fast you can get ready for it.

The problem: staying on the Legacy Oracle CPQ is a risk
Let’s face it, Oracle CPQ without Redwood is starting to show its age:

❌ Outdated user interfaces frustrate sellers and reduce adoption
❌ Inability to leverage the latest AI-driven features means you miss out on automation and insights
❌ Rising maintenance and development costs due to customisations and legacy architecture
❌ Difficulty aligning CPQ with the rest of the Oracle ecosystem

This isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a business problem that impacts your ability to sell effectively, maintain customer satisfaction, and deliver ROI from your CPQ investment.

The Opportunity: Why Redwood is a game-changer for Oracle CPQ
The new Redwood-enabled Oracle CPQ is designed for the future:

✅ A sleek, modern UI that boosts user engagement and satisfaction
✅ AI-ready capabilities to streamline approvals, generate quotes, and recommend products
✅ Lower development costs and simplified configuration
✅ Seamless alignment with the broader Oracle ecosystem for a unified customer experience

Put simply, Redwood transforms Oracle CPQ from a necessary tool into a strategic advantage.

Why this should matter for your business
If you’re not planning your Redwood journey, you risk falling behind:

🔺 Your competitors will be closing deals faster with AI-enhanced quoting
🔺 Your users will get frustrated and look for workarounds, or worse, abandon the system
🔺 Your business will miss out on the efficiency gains and future innovation Oracle is investing in
