R12.1 Functional Upgrade Assessment
We work with you to determine if R12 is right for you. We’re skilled in reviewing your business processes to spot opportunities for streamlining work, tightening controls and adding efficiencies that save time and money. Our expert assessment allows you to determine how well the next release will meet your needs and to estimate your upgrade costs. For a fee, TruTek’s Upgrade Assessment gives you confidence that investing in R12 will bring real benefits.
The R12 Functional Upgrade Assessment Phases Include: Audit, Report, Manage
Audit
Understand the System Architecture
Modules in use
Modules to be implemented

Assess the database, reporting and interface transition issues
Evaluate management controls required: timing, resources and training issues
Recommend an approach (Upgrade vs. Re-Implementation)
Manage
Functional Application Tuning
System setup affects performance
Improve Functional Processes

Our functional consultants combine best practices learned at other organizations and Release 12.1 new features knowledge with what they learn about your organization’s unique business processes, to help determine:
- Where do our current processes run into issues?
- Would R12.1 address them?
- Are you getting the reports needed from the system?
- Would R12.1 make a difference?
- Do you have any control weaknesses?
- Would R12.1 resolve them?
- Would you realize enough business benefits from the upgrade to upgrade now?
Functional Area Best Practices
For each Oracle module you license, we interview key personnel involved in the corresponding business processes. By systematically walking through models of best practices in each functional area, we learn how your own practices conform to, or deviate from, the model. We understand why you do things a certain way and why you experience problems…always on the lookout for potential bottlenecks, control risks and possible improvements.
Then we prepare recommendations on how you might make the most of Oracle technology and tell you whether upgrading to R12.1 is likely to bring sufficient business benefits. Our final report includes:
- A review of how well you are currently using your Oracle software.
- Recommendations on the ideal future state of your E-Business applications.
- An estimate of the costs of upgrading to Oracle Release 12.1.
