Overview
In today's complex business environment, many companies recognize that implementing an integrated suite of applications can help their company realize benefits including increased visibility into the health of the business, more timely decision making, reduced costs, and improved staff productivity. Each day, more and more companies are choosing to leverage proven Oracle E-Business Suite applications in the pursuit of these business goals.

Yet, these same companies are discovering that software is only part of the success equation. To ensure success, companies must employ a solid implementation strategy and partner with an experienced firm that can provide the leadership and expertise necessary to execute that strategy.

We believe TUSC is that partner. With extensive experience installing, configuring, and successfully implementing and upgrading Oracle applications across a wide range of industries and challenging business scenarios, TUSC is uniquely qualified to manage your implementation or upgrade project. We can provide the valuable business insight, technical expertise, and project management to guide you past obstacles that add cost, time and risk to your project - and ensure that your E-Business Suite implementation or upgrade is a success.

E-Business Suite Implementations
TUSC's senior-level staff brings unequalled E-Business Suite experience across all of the Oracle core functional areas and business flows supported by Financial, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, CRM, HRMS and self-service applications. Our seasoned consultants average more than 15 years of overall business experience, with at least five years of specific E-Business Suite application expertise. These senior-level experts bring a critical breadth of experience to our clients and ensure that Oracle's standard functionality is creatively leveraged to the greatest extent possible. Rather than just replicating current processes or blindly implementing future-state processes, our teams question why processes are defined in a particular way and ensure that our clients take advantage of the most advanced capabilities of the Oracle Suite of applications.

TUSC's contributions are not limited to fine tuning configurations. Throughout our projects, we focus on effective knowledge transfer, culminating in formal end-user training using collateral tailored to the client's specific business processes. Our philosophy is to expose our client's key users to the E-Business Suite applications as early and as often as possible, to expedite familiarity with the applications' various business processes, and to validate first-hand that the configurations are meeting the documented requirements. There is no substitute for seeing your actual data and specific business processes reflected in the new E-Business Suite environment. TUSC's implementation methodology and collaborative implementation approach ensure that our client's users access the system frequently throughout the project, particularly during multiple Conference Room Pilots (CRPs), End-User Training, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities.

A successful implementation cannot be achieved with effective functional team activities alone. TUSC's project success also relies on expert technical development resources and skilled E-Business Suite database administrators to provide the solid technical foundation necessary to support the applications, integrate the E-Business Suite with client legacy applications, and provide technical extensions where necessary to enhance standard functionality and meet unique client requirements.

E-Business Suite Upgrades
TUSC's experienced consultants can seamlessly manage E-Business Suite upgrades from any previous release and/or technical platform for our clients. To ensure key business requirements are met, TUSC follows the E-Business Suite Upgrade Methodology, which begins with a critical functional and technical assessment. During this process, client customizations are evaluated for portability to the new platform and potential replacement by new-version standard functionality. We then create an upgrade "playbook," which is validated through multiple "test" upgrades to ensure a seamless migration path, and establish the required "blackout" period for the production upgrade.

Once the new version is implemented, we conduct extensive testing using client- or TUSC-created functional test scripts. Throughout the process, clients are trained on the new version functionality via a "Delta" training approach, which allows end users to effectively assimilate the changes. As with all of our projects, TUSC focuses on quality, knowledge transfer and process simplification throughout the upgrade process and strives to maximize our client's investment in the Oracle E-Business Suite.

E-Business Suite Assessments
TUSC clients utilize E-Business Suite assessments as a first step towards making an upgrade decision, to validate the effective use of one or more E-Business Suite applications, or to obtain budgetary estimates for potential implementation or upgrade projects.

These assessments can range from days to more involved efforts using a small project team over a period of a few weeks. All assessment results provide TUSC clients with a clearer range of options in support of their strategic business direction, complete with TUSC recommendations and cost estimates.

Supplemental Expert Support
TUSC can supplement client staff with its specialized E-Business Suite resources for both short-term and long-term projects. Occasionally, clients have an internally-supported (or externally-provided) project initiative, but they are missing a key subject-matter expert and E-Business Suite specialist to provide critical support to the team. TUSC can fill this need.
