I'm Senior Director in the Oracle Research and Development Organization, with close to 20 years working in various roles on the development of the Financial Management product suite. Since the summer of 2016 my focus is exclusively on working with customers and longer-term design work, particularly around next-generation functional and technical architecture. My task is to figure out NOW what the financial management system of the next 3, 5 or more years should look like and start working toward it. At the moment the majority of my time is spent working on Blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), leading the effort for all of SaaS applications. I'm also interested in AI, Machine Learning and new UX and interaction paradigms such as chat bots.
I started out in Oracle UK and found my way out to Oracle's Redwood Shores, California HQ in May 2000. My previous role was product owner for Fusion Accounting Hub, General Ledger, Intercompany and Legal Entity products in Oracle Fusion Financials and eBusiness Suite General Ledger. I have also worked on EMEA Globalizations, Federal and Public Sector Financials, XML Payments and a variety of projects on other products down the years.

Enterprise Applications by David Haimes 
Hi David, I work with a non-profit (501 c 3 ) organization that contracts marketing and some financial oversight to a UK company. We deal with international trade.
We take great measures to maintain arms distance. But, recently one of my staff called the companies relationship “intercompany” when it came to invoices. I don’t see how we can use this term if we are to strive for the arms-distance. Am I making a big deal out of something or should we avoid this term???

The invoice to this other entity is only Intercompany if you and that other entity are owned/controlled by a common ‘parent’. From what you tell me this seems not to be the case, so I’m not sure you need to worry.
In this post I define Intercompany as:
InterCompany Transactions are between two or more related internal legal entities with common control, i.e. in the same enterprise (Inter = Latin for “BETWEEN”)
