Why upgrade?

With the exception of guaranteeing ongoing product support, organizations typically only consider upgrading if there is a compelling business reason. Some of the major benefits of upgrading include:

  • Obtaining a more robust and scalable architecture. Upgrading can provide advanced database capabilities, better integration, newer extensions and personalization, and improved security for enterprise applications.

  • Enhancing efficiency. Upgrading can lay the foundation for a shared services model, enable the easy design of multiple tax models, and introduce newer, more flexible accounting elements.

  • Streamlining compliance. Obtaining compliance with industry regulations can be greatly simplified by upgrading to a newer version of the application. For example, new features in Oracle EBS R12 include alternate accounting representations, revenue management, and transaction sequencing.

  • Enabling more efficient collaboration. Enterprise application extensions can provide a platform for collaborating with all trading partners – leading to greater efficiencies in inventory, procurement, and logistics costs.

Conclusion

It is important to keep the upgrade vs. reimplementation discussion in the context of the overall transition to R12. First understand what the R12 target needs to be. Compare that to the 11i instance(s). Itemize and inventory everything that needs to change. Then consider how you would make each change via upgrade (with expertise Transformation software plus Oracle upgrade), and via reimplement (implement it and migrate your historical data). A parallel analysis considers everything in the 11i instance(s) that does not need to change on the path to R12.

When planning the transition to R12, focus on the components that are dependent on the specific transition methods. Cost/benefit and resource expenditure analyses will assist in your transition planning, specifically aiding you in deciding which method will be best for your organization’s adoption of R12 and the new features that come along with it.
