EBS Upgrade Approaches

Technical Upgrade: “Give me what I have today but in R12.” Least expensive Low risk Minimal value

Technical Upgrade Plus “Quick Hits” Take advantage of underutilized existing functionality Take advantage of new functionality Analyze and remove customizations where new functionality

exists Good cost / value trade-off

EBS Upgrade Approaches, continued

Upgrade + New Modules: “While we’re at it …” Strategically add new modules Restructure process and implement while you have the team

participating on the upgrade

Process Re-engineering: “We need to start over.” Redesign business processes and reconfigure applications Restructure chart of accounts Re-architect using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Most time consuming and expensive, but most value

7


Other Cost Variables

Analyze impact on the organization (workload, who the users are, conflicts with other projects, etc.)

Develop a complete list of customizations and define why they exist (includes reports)

Resolve known issues prior to project start (reduce scope and complexity)
