About Ravi Vishwas

For nearly 30 years, the common thread across my work has been helping CIOs, CTOs and CFOs turn complex ERP programs into predictable, low‑drama transformations. As Principal at Cache Consultants and TechAgnostics, I advise various organizations (financial institutions, banks and fintechs, pharmaceuticals, publishing companies, and state and local governments) on how to modernize finance and back‑office operations while preserving control, compliance and service quality.Across 45+ global implementations spanning Oracle E‑Business Suite, Oracle Cloud ERP, NetSuite, SAP, Salesforce and leading BI tools, I have led programs covering finance, accounting, reporting and master data management. Typical mandates include ERP modernization, multi‑entity consolidation, post‑merger integration and carve‑outs, where the goal is to improve visibility, accelerate close and de‑risk regulatory and management reporting.Signature achievements include cutting month‑end close cycles, improving data quality to reduce reporting defects, and rescuing at‑risk ERP programs to protect multi million dollar investments and go‑live dates. I am often accountable for cutover, stakeholder alignment and change management, ensuring front‑line adoption across finance, IT and operations.Core competencies: ERP and finance transformation, Oracle / NetSuite / SAP finance, Salesforce integration, financial and regulatory reporting, data governance and MDM, back‑office automation, BI and dashboards (Discoverer, OBIEE, MicroStrategy, Tableau), program and portfolio management, vendor and SI management, C‑suite and board communication.If you are a CIO, CTO or CFO in a bank, fintech, pharmaceutical, publishing house or public sector entity looking to de‑risk an upcoming ERP initiative—or rescue one already in flight—let’s connect for a brief discussion on options.
