Oracle fusion applications preparation

Editor's Notes

• #4: So how can you evolve to become a next generation organization and get ready for Fusion? Adaptability: Oracle Fusion Applications are designed to exploit the technological advances of SOA and support greater business agility by providing business process owners with the tools they need to model processes to meet their own unique needs.   Productivity: Oracle Fusion Applications exploit advances in user experience technologies to make users and executives highly productive…providing them with 1) a rich, easy-to-use interface that integrates business processes and business intelligence; 2) role-based access to relevant information; and 3) the ability to interact with the applications through familiar personal productivity tools and desktops.   Manageability :In an era of web services we think security as the user level just doesn’t work – it needs to be embedded at every level of the technology. Fusion GRC solutions enable an integrated, proactive and closed-loop approach for compliance and risk management across multiple regulatory mandates. Fusion GRC enables you to embed control, security, and predictability into the very fabric of your business operations.   For all of these reasons and more, we think that the market will be looking for something better in the future and we will be ready with Fusion if and when our customers are ready to make that move.

• #14: Slide We are going to drill down into the six little pictures in the platform diagram. As you will see, the message in each area is the same, and using the platform to deliver those services results in similar benefits: Centralizing the definition and management of services saves time and money. Use a single service multiple times. Sharing a single service across applications eliminates the inaccuracy and risk that comes with multiple definitions of the same object. Don’t lock out a user from sensitive information in one place, only to let them in somewhere else! Building on standards makes skills re-usable and lets you take advantage of the latest capabilities as they emerge. Replace a service in an existing process with a new, improved version with no disruption or recoding. Enterprise processes can be implemented more directly, linking business needs directly to application capabilities. Bring business processes up out of the weeds and make them visible to the users who design them, and let those users make changes directly.
• #15: Slide For the rest of our meeting, I would like to get into some of the details behind each of these areas. Our goal is to prove two things: Oracle has the most complete and powerful platform for hosting and building applications This platform delivers the greatest real business value, not only for the applications that you are looking to buy, but for your all your enterprise applications.

Customers can choose how and when to leverage the Object Browser/ Search Manager for SES enablement
• #46: KEY MESSAGE: Content for UPK was introduced in Release 12, and we continue to expand the content as we introduce new products. The UPK tool has been very popular, even prior to delivering content, as we’ve had hundreds of EBS customers buy the tool and build their own content for the 11i environment. UPK is useful for all aspects of the software lifecycle and is applicable for implementations, upgrades, and rollouts of new functionality. There are 3 physical components of UPK and they provide value throughout the Software lifecycle. UPK Developer UPK Content (content developed by Oracle and/or by your organization) UPK Usage Tracking Let’s talk about each of these components: Once the content is recorded it can be customized and edited and then published into multiple outputs – these outputs are the UPK Content. (For some PSFT E and JDE E1 applications, Oracle creates vanilla, pre-recorded content.) If they are a customer that has any of the applications for which we have content, discuss how UPK can be used early on in their implementation to educate the project team on how the vanilla application works. Early on in an implementation or upgrade, UPK can be used to start documenting system process flows – these can be published as printed MSWord docs, and used as collaborative tools within the organization. This same content creates User Acceptance Test Scripts. The scripts can be imported into Mercury’s Test Director/Quality Center product. Before Go-Live everyone using the applications must be trained. UPK has the ability to create both Instructor Led Classroom training and Online training. For classroom training, use the source content to create both the Instructor and Student Guides. For self-paced online training, publish the content into the UPK Player – the DHTML component that has 4 modes of learning: See It, Try It, Know It, and Do It. For training end users UPK enables self learning with the UPK Player. Users can access 4 different modes ‘See It’, ‘Try It’, ‘Know It’, and ‘Do It’. The ‘See it’ Mode is purely a simulation, user can watch how the transaction is performed. The ‘Try It’ mode requires the user to interact with the simulation, and the ‘Know It’ mode tests what the user has learned from the previous 2 modes. The ‘Do It’ mode, pictured here – provides support to users from within the application, facilitating just in time learning with conceptual text and visuals.
• #47: Stepping back a bit, let’s take a look at the value proposition of content-enabling applications. When you look at the processes that run through an organization, many of them are driven by, or heavily dependent upon unstructured content. From Finance, to Human Resources, to Legal, to Sales and Marketing, all aspects of an organizations business have to deal with managing content through a business process. However, most of the systems and business applications that support these processes don’t provide for integrating content within the context of their operations. As a result, departments look for finding ways to map content to their processes, which usually don’t fit the natural flow of tasks. Email, file servers, application file storage systems, workspaces, or even a continued reliance on paper documents have all been used in conjunction with business applications to varying degrees of success, but all feature their own set of limitations that are consistent with typical ECM business pains.
• #48: There are two use case scenarios how we approach the market with our apps integrations. First, is ad-hoc attachments, which is the use case which you often see in front-office operations such as sales, marketing, call centers, and some HR functions. Here, the use case is centered around lower volumes of content that are being produced by a small number of people, but sometimes consumed by a wider audience. In this case, we may also be replacing a native file store that once was adequate, but as business needs have changed, has not kept up with user and IT requirements. The second use case is around high volume document processing. This is really for back-office, heads down operations, where the whole objective is to process content that usually starts in paper form as fast and efficiently as possible. Workflows tend to be more complex, with more emphasis on routing and exception handling. You see this use case in financial operations, employee and student on-boarding and order management.
• #49: Key imaging markets include: Financials: Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Expense Management Adapter augmented by customizable solution templates Human Resources: Employee On-boarding, Benefits Adapter workflow configurations provide most required functionality Campus Solutions (PeopleSoft): Student On-boarding, Financial Aid Image enablement integration can be provided through configuration (similar to HR solution) Certified with PeopleSoft 9.0 / PeopleTools 8.49 and E-Business Suite 11.5.10 and 12.1 Attachments solution for PeopleSoft will be delivered by end of CY09
• #51: When an invoice image is opened up via E-Business Suite, it launches the I/PM Viewer. The Viewer is a web-based application that enables you to view, annotate and mark-up images. You can highlight, make sticky notes, add redactions and so forth. These mark-ups are stored as layers on top of the native document that is stored in the I/PM repository. So, the original document remains untouched. These layers are also secured with the ability to relate them to permissions, which helps to adhere with corporate compliance guidelines. For example, information concealed by redactions can be made viewable only to those who are AP managers, but not clerks.
