Oracle E-Business Suite
In the face of increasing competition from local and global competitors and with constant pressure to deliver both strong short term financial performance and long term growth, successful enterprises must respond quickly to customers' needs, innovate, optimize operations and deliver value. All against a backdrop of increasingly demanding regulation.
Oracle E-Business Suite offers businesses a solution which enables them to establish functional best practices and implement the business capabilities they need to adapt to change and compete effectively. Oracle E-Business Suite is a fully integrated, comprehensive suite of business applications for the enterprise which automates, integrates and streamlines business processes, and delivers enhanced business information for effective decision-making.
DB Consulting are experts in Oracle E-Business Suite. We help businesses implement, configure, integrate and extend Oracle E-Business Suite to make full use of the capabilities of this powerful business software.
We adopt a 'lifecycle' approach to project delivery and offer a range of services including:
Discovery
We will work with you to identify whether Oracle E-Business Suite is the right solution for your business. We review your 'as is' business processes, work with your internal teams to define best practice 'to be' business processes, and align these with Oracle E-Business Suite functionality. We document the way forward in the form of a 'road map' - a blueprint for phased delivery of a solution to meet your specific business needs.
Project Management
We apply strong project management skills to ensure that your project is properly defined, fully costed and planned in detail. Throughout the project, we make sure the team is working effectively, work is progressing to plan, requests for changes are handled sensibly and transparently, issues and risks are managed appropriately, so that expectations and reality do not diverge. We also make sure that focus is maintained all the way through to the end of the project and that all agreed deliverables are completed.
First-time implementation
For first-time users of Oracle E-Business Suite we take a structured approach, following Oracle's AIM (Application Implementation Methodology). AIM incorporates the following phases:
- » Planning and Installation
- » Business Requirements Definition
- » Configuration and Solution Design
- » Build and Test
- » Transition
- » Production and Support
We work closely with users and your in house IT teams all the way through the project to ensure there are no 'surprises'. We work flexibly, and at pace, but we will countenance strongly against rushing to hit an unachievable deadline.
Upgrades
We work with businesses still to move to R11.5.10 or wishing to accelerate to R12, taking you through all of the key stages: planning, re-application / rebuild of CEMLI (customizations, extensions, modifications, localizations and interfaces - CEMLIs), test upgrade, dress rehearsal, live upgrade and post-upgrade support.
Business Intelligence
Despite having an integrated reporting environment, many users of Oracle E-Business Suite crave additional power and flexibility. Oracle Business Intelligence, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware, is one option for providing sophisticated business intelligence. We can help you to devise a powerful reporting environment that includes online analytical processing (OLAP), interactive dashboards, proactive anomaly detection and alerts, ad-hoc analysis and report publishing and distribution capabilities.
Support
We offer extended support to Oracle E-Business Suite users, including technical/DBA support, integration with existing bespoke Oracle and non-Oracle business applications and patch testing and release.
