Financials and HRMS• Oracle WAM used for Work Orders & Asset Mgt only
Business Driver: Need for Asset Costing in WAM (increase operational efficiencies)• Material & Services purchased for work orders• Inventory Items used for work orders
Project Background

Pre-Built Integration Packs (PIPs)• Set of pre-built integrations - ‘plug & play’ interface code• Offered in 2 models based on pre-established,
standardized business flowso EBS to WAM model (SCM in EBS) – chosen modelo WAM to EBS model (SCM in WAM)

Integration Points
12
Planning & Approach• Identify: Integration Points, Business Flows,
System of Record for Key Components (Items, Suppliers, Employees, etc.)
• ‘As Is’ documentation (up-to-date)• ‘Familiarization’ - Spend the time to learn the
business flows delivered (as early as possible)• Not really an ‘Out of the Box’ solution• GAPs should be identified (as early as possible)
Lessons Learned
13
Technology Impact• Don’t underestimate time & resources based on the concept of
‘plug & play’• Technology is advanced and can speed up the process but it
doesn’t replace the need foro Timeline – ensure adequate time is provided to:
– Build test environments– Identify GAPs– Test and disposition GAPs
o Resources - skillset and knowledge of the technical components and products
– Technical resources – SOA– Functional resources – Oracle EBS/Oracle WAM– Subject Matter Experts – Business Flows
Lessons Learned
14
Testing• Plan for multiple test iterations• Include unit tests, system integration tests and
even performance tests• Involve business and end users early on in the
testing process• Provide for time between testing iterations to
make decisions and updates• Test complete business flows between WAM and
EBS for exception handling
