Oracle Cloud Implementation

Project Kick Off


Jan 22nd 2018

Copyright © 2016, DA Systems. All rights reserved.


Background

Client Inc is currently managing its business with a dated deployment of Oracle EBS. The system has not been
upgraded in many years and includes coordination of many manual processes, unnecessary integrations and
extensions. Client Inc is looking at the modern Oracle ERP Cloud to address their needs in the areas of:
• Usability: The current version of EBS includes several coordinated manual processes that are cumbersome for Finance
users and functions take longer to execute due to lack of automation and ease of use.
• Reporting: Client Inc lacks the self-service reporting capability causing bottlenecks in sharing of information and leads to
business decision inefficiencies.
• Financials Management: Client Inc recognizes opportunity to improve and leverage best practice business processes to
improve the management of the organization.
• Client Inc is in the process of looking to a SaaS model to lower overall operational costs. A move to a new HQ facility will
limit the Data Center capabilities for on premise applications and Oracle Cloud will remove unnecessary HW and
operational overhead.
