Installations, Migrations & Upgrades
E-Business Suite 11i migrations & implementations

DSP has built up a wealth of experience in installing, migrating and upgrading Oracle technology and Ebusiness Suite application (including R12). Although each environment is unique, a database estate will typically consist of physical infrastructure, data, middleware and applications.

As industry recognised experts in Oracle database and application technology, DSP has been designing, deploying, upgrading and supporting applications from Oracle release 8 through to the latest Oracle Realease 12, and this depth of experience allows us to balance cost, availability, performance, scalability, security and manageability to meet your service level goals.

To ensure that all projects are successful DSP uses proven methods and adheres to Oracle best practices. By undertaking thorough investigation before any project commences DSP is able to identify quickly what areas will need to be considered and require resources.

Upgrades are becoming more technically biased; DBA involvement has increased with each release and it is essential to have good Application DBAs on the team. At least two need to be involved, as the live upgrade will be a continuous shift pattern. One of the essential tools used during DBA and functional steps is the creation and maintenance of a highly detailed journal with timing metrics and details of AutoUpgrade errors, bugs, fixes, TARs, work-a-rounds and patches.

The complexity and duration of an upgrade depends on many aspects, including:
Implemented modules, additional modules, Multi-Org, Multiple Reporting Currencies,
Self Service requirements, size of database, extent of customisation, functional set up,
legacy data, latent set up issues and target platform type/specification.

If your organisation is considering upgrading to, or implementing Oracle Applications release 11i or R12 (commercial or OPSF), then you will need an experienced team to help you.

 DSP can provide the whole team or individual skills including Project Managers, System Architects, DBAs, Developers and Functional Consultants.

With an advanced technology stack and ever increasing functionality, Applications upgrades and implementations represent a complex process. An effective methodology and a good, experienced team are essential.

The success of an upgrade depends upon an experienced project team, commitment
from the business and key users, good journaling techniques, maximum leverage from
Oracle Support, decent test scripts, good project planning and the completion of 2-4
test upgrade iterations.
