Executive Summary
The earnings of an Oracle EBS professional depend on many variables, including
your location, education level, and experience, as well as the location of the company you work for, the Oracle EBS version you are working on, the industry
you are in, as well as your gender.
Panaya conducted this survey to help you compare your compensation makeup
to industry peers, better understand what drives compensation in this market, and get useful ideas for increasing your value.
Some of the key findings from this year’s survey include:
Median salaries are the highest for those working for retail,
professional services, and financial services companies, while the lowest medians are for those working in manufacturing and consumer
products.
The median salary for Oracle EBS professionals employed by companies
based in Europe is over 20% lower than the median salary for
those working for companies based in North America and the rest of the world.
Women with up to six years of experience earn 6% less than
men with similar experience. The gap grows to as much as 22%
for professionals with 7-10 years of experience and 15% for those with more than ten years.
Professionals with Oracle certification earn just slightly more (3%)
than those that have no certification. Having additional certifications doesn’t necessarily translate to higher salary either.
Release 11.x is the version most commonly used among survey
respondents (59%). However, the median salary for Oracle EBS
professionals using Release 12.x is 25-38% higher than the
median salary for those using earlier versions.
The continued improvement in the economy seems to have a positive impact on the earnings of Oracle professionals:
61% of the respondents reported an increase in their earnings in
2011 compared to 2010, while only 7% reported a reduction.
These increases were more prevalent in some places than others. Just
half (50%) of the Oracle EBS professionals working in Europe saw their salaries increase in 2011, compared with 61% in North
America and as many as 72% in the rest of the world.
Over half of the respondents (64%) are eligible for a bonus in
2011. The average bonus is 10% of total compensation.
Looking ahead to 2012, 58% of the respondents are expecting an
increase in their salaries.

compensation for each respondent, including bonuses.

Company and Job Characteristics
111 individuals completed the survey. Over three quarters (76%) of the

remaining 24% represent Oracle-partner organizations that help other
companies implement Oracle.

When it comes to size, however, bigger is not always better for Oracle EBS
professionals. The sweet spot for the highest median salary is at companies of $1-10B in revenues.
Figure 7: Median Salary by company revenues
Similar results can be seen when looking at the number of Oracle EBS
professionals at the company. Median salary is highest at companies with 11-50 Oracle EBS professionals.

Job Function, Experience, Gender, Education
Salaries of Oracle professionals vary greatly according to job function, with CIO’s, IT directors, and managers earning the most, followed by Project
and Application Managers.
Figure 10: Median Salary by Job Function
Job experience plays a major role in determining salary levels. The more experience, the higher the salary. The median salary for respondents with
more than 10 years of experience is 45% higher than for those with 1-6 years of experience.

Gender is also a factor determining salary levels. Women with up to six
years of experience earn 6% less than men with similar experience. The gap grows to as much as 22% for professionals with 7-10 years of
experience and 15% for those with more than ten years.
Figure 12: Median Salary by Gender & Experience
Education also impacts the level of earnings. Respondents with a doctoral degree earn 45% more than those with a high school diploma. At the
same time, the median salary for those that have a master’s degree or some
master-level studies is only slightly higher than for those with a bachelor’s degree or some bachelor-level studies.

Professionals with at least one Oracle certification earn just slightly more (3%) than those that have no certification. Furthermore, having additional
certifications doesn’t necessarily translate to higher salary either.
Figure 14: Median Salary with and without Oracle Certification
These minor differences in earnings could be a reason that 64% of the
respondents have no Oracle certification, and only 22% have more than
one certification.

These increases, however, were more prevalent in some places then others. Just half (50%) of the Oracle EBS professionals working in Europe saw their
salaries increase in 2011, compared with 61% in North America and as much as 72% in the Rest of the World. At the same time, more people in
these regions saw a salary decrease compared to Europe, where no such
reductions were reported.
Figure 20: 2011 Salary Change by Job Location
Generally speaking, salary increases were most common for professionals
working for companies with $5-10B revenues (90%), while fewer of those
working for companies with the smallest and highest revenues saw such increases. Only professionals that work for companies with less than $500m in
revenues reported a decrease in their 2011 salaries.

though respondents experienced an overall increase in salaries, many reported that overall budgets have become tighter (35%), and some had to work longer hours
(23%).
