Lessons Learned / What We Could have Done Better…
&  Anticipate business disruption…tie “go live” to business cycles
&  You will need the two solid months of Extended Life Support before BAU
&  There will be potholes…some quite large
&  Finance resources…cannot have enough for R12 Finance
&  Frame of reference big chg, i.e. IFRS vs Sarbanes Oxley design
&  Automate migration custom code, comparable to SAP “transports”
&  Hold Oracle close before the upgrade…and even Closer after cutover
&  Performance testing…????
&  Enhance, grow scenarios…sign “in blood” # that
scenarios represent key functional transactions # Automate?
&  Avoid the SQL infestation!
&  Have fun…be engaged / be guardedly optimistic / set high expectations
&  Plan to detail…and then when satisfied, plan even more detail
&  Insure that all parties, even BAU, have SOW covering Scope / Quality
&  Challenge “assumption thinking”, i.e. Monarch
&  Okay to fail on a cutover attempt
Testing by Business…Greatest Risk~~>Greatest Strength
