Oracle e-business suite
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 helps businesses implement, configure, integrate and extend Oracle E-Business Suite to make full use of the capabilities of this powerful business software. We offer a range of services across the project life cycle, including:
Discovery
We 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 desired '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 discipline to ensure that your project is properly defined, and that the business case stacks up. We plan the project thoroughly, in detail. Throughout the project, we make sure the team is working effectively, that work is progressing to plan, that requests for changes are handled sensibly and transparently, and that 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 your users and in house IT teams all the way through the project to ensure there are no 'surprises'. We work flexibly, and at pace, but countenance strongly against rushing to hit unachievable deadlines.
Upgrades
We also work with existing Oracle E-Business Suite users wishing to upgrade to R12. We take you through all of the key stages: planning, re-application / rebuild of CEMLIs (customizations, extensions, modifications, localizations and interfaces), 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 need additional power and flexibility in the area of Business Intelligence.
Oracle Business Intelligence, part of the Oracle Fusion middleware product set, 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.
