Systems and Applications Upgrades
The Upgrade Assessment and Planning Service follows a proven five-step methodology. These steps are designed to assess the current status, functional, technical, and user readiness baseline for your company and then determine the ideal future solution based on this information.
Prepare – Initial preparation comprises requirements gathering, project kickoff, stakeholder identification, and establishment of major timelines and project duration.
Assess – An assessment of your current environment, including analysis of functional, technical, and process considerations. Upon completion of this Current Environment “As-Is” Assessment, insufficient gaps are identified and targeted.
Envision – Involves facilitating the customer’s understanding of new release capabilities through a combination of the following methods: white board discussion, web-based demonstration, in-person demonstration, and hands-on solution review. This step is designed to help the customer understand, determine and prioritize their requirements of the new release. Change management specialists will meet with your key leaders and target groups to identify potential user adoption considerations.
Plan – This step determines and outlines the most effective way to upgrade, both technically and functionally. In addition, potential user and process impacts will be outlined for the customer to determine the best change management strategy.
Recommendation – A comprehensive Upgrade Project Charter includes a general project plan, resource requirement, infrastructure and migration plan to carry out the complete upgrade. In addition, a detailed Upgrade Project Pricing Estimate for Oracle Consulting to deliver the project will be established post project completion as well.
