#10350 Elastic Cloud: Is Your Data Management Solution Ready? Date: Tuesday, April 24 10:45 ~ 11:45 am Location: South Seas E Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite Presenter: Austin Davis & Ganesan Rathinam |
Description: With Elastic Cloud a reality for Oracle eBusiness Suite, there is a need for a flexible approach to data management, which works along with Oracle’s open interfaces for integration as well as traditional bulk data loading needs. Perhaps like Joni Mitchell you “really don’t know clouds at all.” This presentation will propose a flexible approach which can work across a corporate network or on the elastic cloud framework. You’ll find an overview architectural approach for traditional bulk data loading; an approach for web services to achieve integration and share strategies for data maintenance and cleansing. |

#9899 The Never-Ending Road Of Project Management Date: Wednesday, April 25 11:00 ~ 12:00 pm Location: Breakers J Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite Presenter: John Perkins |
Description: Project Management will often take different directions and focuses over the course of an eBusiness Suite R12 Project. Project Management has certainly changed over the last decade with evolving developments in methodologies and organizational cultures, including ‘Agile Development.’ We have reviewed our Project Management processes over several Oracle E-Business Suite R12 implementations and have included specific communications, organizational change and objective project metrics (earned value management) into our projects. John will provide strategy and techniques to address agile development; review a focused metrics scorecard for reporting progress on projects. We will also discuss specific guidelines and lessons learned while reviewing the importance of earned value management as a project control technique. Most important John will analyze why failure rates for ERP development projects remain high. “Don’t get detoured, stay on the right and never-ending road to Project Management by spending time with an implementation expert.” |

#9924 - Business Data Transformation And Consolidation for a Global Energy Services Company Date: Wednesday, April 25 3:00 pm ~ 4:00 pm Location: South Seas G Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite Presenter: John Perkins |
Description: Business and organizational changes have significant ramifications on data requirements for a global company. Combine these changes with radical new business processes and you have a functional and technical challenge with multiple complexity. Migration of master, referential and transactional data to new business organizations requires precise planning, coordination and execution. A detailed case study will explain a global energy services company’s process throughout the project; providing strategies for dealing with multiple organizational consolidation. Chain-Sys will discuss both manual and automated tools used to create the new business entity, review the structured processes, techniques and lessons learned in dealing with a complex business process, data transformation and consolidation. You will leave the session with the “power to transform and consolidate data… minimizing complexity and mitigating business risks.” |

#10098 - Accelerated Business Data Validation and Management for a Global Energy Services Company Date: Thursday, April 26 9:45 - 10:45 am Location: South Seas G Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite Presenter: Austin Davis, Craig Pinegar & Kelly Toombs |
Description: With a number of legacy architectures from fragmented systems and the inability to consolidate data for any accurate analysis or reporting a Global Energy Services Company spanning 70 countries was forced to re-implement Oracle EBS R12. Business process validation, initial data conversion and migration of master, referential and transactional data proved to be challenging given the volume of data, number of Flex Fields and business process requirements combined with the limited resources and time constraints. Chain-Sys will present strategies and a powerful tool to bring quality and focus to your R12 data conversion process. You will leave the session with a solid understanding of practices followed by a World Class Project Team to validate and manage data at the speed of light! |

#10334 - Feed Your Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) System to Cut Waste and Increase Reliability Date: Thursday, April 26th 11:00 - 12:00 pm Location: Breakers F Product Line: Oracle E-Business Suite Presenter: Ganesan Rathinam & Robert Morgan |
Description: The main goal of any Enterprise Asset Management project is to eliminate asset downtime, which drives up costs due to productivity loss. While software helps to achieve this, most organizations are unable to truly take advantage of the system. Providing (Feeding) Master, Referential and Transactional Data require precise planning and execution. The capability to improve maintenance schedules; increase uptime, enhance reliability and define risk management policies is all about effective Data Management. We will examine in detail a case study for a global company reviewing the process followed throughout the Project. Discuss both manual and automated processes used to bring the data into an Oracle R12 instance mitigating the risks associated with data migration and integration to achieve timeliness, accuracy and quality. We will present strategies to realize true cost savings of your Enterprise Asset Management system without fear! |
