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
that
 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” 
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
