We assist clients in optimizing return on investment (ROI) in their packaged applications by decreasing the costs associated with implementing and managing them. We help reduce costs by streamlining processes and providing application package expertise as needed. We work with our clients to build a stable application environment and implement processes with defined service levels, enabling them to better predict -- and potentially reduce -- the costs associated with implementation of their packaged applications. Our team of experts deliver extensive implementation services covering all tasks from business process mapping to post production support. Primary services include the following:

Business Process Mapping

Detailed review and mapping of "as-is" business processes to be improved as part of the Oracle applications implementation. Delivery of "to-be" business process maps is completed after an Oracle application implementation impact analysis

Gap Analysis

Thorough analysis of the ability of "out-of-the-box" Oracle applications to meet core business process needs. Gaps between core needs and standard Oracle applications features and functionality are documented with alternatives, including estimates of all resource and schedule impacts

Data Conversion and Migration

Analysis and mapping of current and historical legacy data for conversion and migration to Oracle applications

Report Specification and Design

Review of all aspects of information access needs, including standard reports, ad-hoc reporting, data warehouse and multi-database mining. Includes analysis of information access design with resource and time estimates for customized solutions to business-specific demands

Application Setup and Configuration

Thorough, module-by-module analysis and documentation of the Oracle applications setup and configuration used to support the "to- be" business process maps. Emphasis is placed on ensuring immediate return on Oracle applications features and functionality while maintaining flexibility for future business process change

Production Pilot(s)

Design, development and execution of well-planned business flow test suites. Each critical business process is reviewed and validated within the proposed Oracle applications solution prior to going live

Cut-over Plans

Delivery of a detailed cut-over plan covering all aspects of production implementation of Oracle applications. Topics include data conversion planning, user training, production software and hardware configuration, disaster recovery, final testing and management and end-user sign off

End-User Training
