The Migration From Oracle EBS To Oracle Applications Cloud
The journey to the cloud becomes ever more attractive when analyzing the cost savings and the advantages of security, functionality, latest innovations in reporting and the enhanced user experience.
You can’t rush your journey to the cloud. But with the right management tools and practices in place, it can be a much faster, simpler, and more rewarding process than you might imagine.
So, what’s the buzz all about and why should we consider migrating from EBusiness Suite?
Drivers
Support Digital Transformation
One of the main drivers behind moving your business systems to the cloud probably echo a lot of what our customers and peers are facing. The need to improve internal systems to better support your digital transformation and have the flexibility to support varied and changing business models.
The Agile Business Model
ERP systems need to be operationally agile and efficient enough to support all the new business models, employees, partners and customers.
Current System
Organizations need a more efficient and faster way to access innovation. An upgrade of an on-premise enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for a company could months or even years. By the time the upgrade is completed the solution is already out of date and you are preparing for further upgrades!
Hardware
Upkeep and maintenance of on premise hardware is becoming increasingly expensive and time consuming. Providing support to the software via patching and backups involves expensive resources.
Security
The cloud provides a secure platform that removes all reliance on in house security on the database. It’s a one stop shop to a secure environment.
Cloud Foundations
Foundations
Check your current solution for the optimum set up. This is a perfect opportunity to review the chart of accounts and tidy up the coding, removing any unused accounts. Identify the needs of the business and ensure the solution meets those needs now and is future proofed. This can be part of the Namos Cloud Readiness Assessment.
Implementation Team
Namos Solutions work with the business to identify subject matter experts that can grow with and add input to the new solution from commencement of the project thereby increasing user buy in from day one.
Process Owners
Identify and engage with senior business owners as they need to understand the processes and drive through the changes. Identify the key result areas and the existing bottlenecks so clear benchmarks for success can be achieved. This process helps alleviate resistance to change by on-boarding the organisation.
Planning
The Optimum Plan
The implementation program can be either a big bang or a phased approach. Also decide when the go-live date should be, what is the best fit for the business? Make sure a communication channel is created to evangelize business goals and how these goals affect each department. Paint the picture of how the ERP solution will enhance day to day activities and the overall company worth.
Migration Team
What data shall we migrate? Identify an optimum plan for data load and validation. What is our current product footprint and what’s the best fit for the cloud? Create a migration plan to include testing, data import, environment plan and key dates. We analyze your databases to check what the best structure is albeit SaaS and PaaS. The implementation plan in the cloud is weeks not months.
Change Management
The Cloud cannot encompass any customizations so change management is key to a successful implementation. The cloud allows configuration and encourages best practices in known and tested work flows. This is a value-added exercise Namos Solutions can help you evaluate.
Implementation
There is no direct upgrade path to the cloud, the only option is to reimplement. This is done using set up tools such as the rapid implementation templates which load the chart of accounts, calendars, ledgers, legal entities and business units. Data is templated and loaded via file based loaders or journal imports via spreadsheets.
