BUSINESS CHALLENGE

If you're running a pre-Release 12 (R12) version of the Oracle Business Suite, you probably have multiple incentives to upgrade. Not only does upgrading to R12 eliminate de-support risks and lower costs, but the enhanced functionality and integration in the newest version of Oracle EBS can help you better respond to today's business challenges.

With immense opportunity, however, upgrading to a new software release also brings significant challenges. Depending on your existing version and specific application footprint, you may face a complete architecture migration, changes to underlying table structures, and/or modifications to your business processes as part of your R12 upgrade. And you likely will be required to handle it all with a constrained budget and limited resources.

Whether you're viewing your upgrade as primarily a technical exercise or as a chance to take advantage of new functionality, you can't afford to encounter pitfalls that will consume time, money and critical resources or result in "opportunity cost" to the organization. To ensure a seamless upgrade and maximize ROI, you need an experienced partner who has "been there" and can guide you through critical questions such as:

•	What will the upgrade project consume in time, dollars, and staffing?
•	What technical considerations will you face as part of the upgrade?
•	What issues can you expect to encounter during the process?
•	What process changes will be required for your business to complete routine tasks in R12?
•	What new functionality should your business consider adopting?

With 20 years of Oracle experience and extensive R12 upgrade expertise, Rolta TUSC can help.
