Best Practice

Upgrade project


75/99

Upgrade project

Within the upgrade project, there are several key areas of work thatbegin with project definition and continue through the training ofpersonnel on the new solution.

A standard upgrade project can be divided into the following six phases:1. Evaluation of the new release

2. Planning the upgrade (including development of a comprehensivebusiness case)

3. Technical upgrade (including conference room pilots/test rounds)

4. Functional testing (including conference room pilots/test rounds)5. Training

6. Cutover to production

Oracle Consulting Services


76/99

- Top 10 Upgrade Best Practices

1. Determine Your Upgrade Path More recent releases have a direct upgrade path to the latestrelease

1. Treat Your Upgrade Activity as a Formal Company Project Structured approach for managing the tasks, resolving issues, and

measuring progress is critical. Build a team with broad,

comprehensive skills1. Prepare the Organization

Proactively engage stakeholders to help prepare for the project andthe changes that will be experienced once deployed

1. Understand and Mitigate Project Risks

Specific mitigation plans should be developed for high probability,high impact risks

1. Inventory Your System

Examine current business requirements and Inventory modificationsand determine what is still needed

Oracle Consulting Services


77/99

- Top 10 Upgrade Best Practices6. Plan for Upgrade Architecture

Accurate sizing information will help guide decisions to reuse existing hardware

and resources6. Identify Custom Code and Scripting

Identified customized interfaces, forms, and reports that will require additionaltesting through the upgrade process

6. Optimize Training Processes

Ensure project and support teams are proficient in the new technology

Train users at an optimal timeframe will help resolve most issues early. Mostusers prefer training proximate to going live on the new system

6. Secure User Buy-In

End users must have good information about how the resulting solution willimpact their roles, whether the changes are functional, user interface, ortechnical in nature

6. Go Live Go live checklist created earlier in the upgrade process should be leveraged to

verify that the success criteria have been achieved Set up sufficient support mechanisms to optimize early rollout experience

In our opinion Oracle's EBS 12 isa significant step forward in the integrated suite approach to

enterprise applications. The Suite is functionally rich and

serves the global enterprise well. As a tightly integrated

suite of products, businesses will realize significant gains

from the interoperability of the suite environment.

Executive Brief: EBS R12

October 2006

Why Upgrade


92/99

Ability to issue one payment instruction to the bank for payments of invoices

in multiple operating units was viewed as a huge benefit from the user

community.

We have 60 sets of books and see tremendous efficiencies with running

processes across these sets of books using Ledger Sets.

y pgStraight Talk from Customers

The ability to access multiple operating units with a single responsibility can

simplify SOX compliance monitoring.

Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) will definitely reduce the workload and the

number of people performing process related tasks. The users are very excited

and the benefits of MOAC were readily visible to them.

Banks, taxes, payments, and accounting everything that becomes centralized

will bring tremendous efficiencies to our organization.

The functionality offered with Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS),

specifically the creation of physical invoices to be created for I/C transactions in

Payables and Receivables eliminates many customizations in this area.

Centralization ofsubledger accounting rules would minimize set up and

maintenance, providing greater financial control, and enforcing a consistent

approach for true global accounting.

Why Upgrade


93/99

Straight Talk from Partners

The new financials architecture will enable our joint clients to work globally to bemore competitive, think globally to make the right decisions, and manageglobally to lower cost and increase performance.
