TruTek Upgrade Services
Mike Swing leads TruTek's Assessment team in helping clients review aspects of their Oracle environments. TruTek Assessments can cover any area of concern, including database performance, E-Business Suite Applications performance, E-Business Suite upgrade readiness, or an E-Business Suite module functionality review.
TruTek provides the following assessment services: 10g and 11g Database Health Checks, R12.1 Upgrade Assessments (both functional and technical), R12.1 Customization Assessments, and Functional Gap Analysis. Additionally, we offer Technical and Functional Upgrade Services, Customizations Upgrade Service, Test Management Service, Functional Testing, and Linux Migration Service.
TruTek recently published a book about upgrading called the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide. We use this guide in our training classes to help students practice upgrading Oracle's Release 11.5.10.2 Vision instance to the latest version of Release 12. The combination of the book and the class give us insights into upgrade issues that we've incorporated into our E-Business Suite Upgrade Readiness Assessment.
We also have a comprehensive upgrade trilogy that serves as an invaluable resource in planning, preparing, and performing an upgrade. In addition to the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide, this complete package includes the little r12.1.2 upgrade essentials for managers and team members, and the little r12.1.2 project plan.
The E-Business Suite Upgrade Readiness Assessment
Our Upgrade Readiness Assessment will help you identify the gaps between your current release and the latest Release 11i or Release 12 to determine what upgrade effort is required. We also look for hardware, communications and operating system gaps. We review your existing infrastructure strategy and high-level operations, and your existing modules and we identify new modules to be added. We assess the database, reporting and interface transition issues and evaluate management controls that are required to support an upgrade, including timing, resources and training issues. We provide a detailed report that includes our recommended approach, which may be either an upgrade or a re-implementation, depending on your business needs.
Functional Upgrade Assessment
We work with you to determine if R12 is right for you. Our functional consultants get answers for you and walk you through models of best practices—always on the lookout for potential bottlenecks, control risks and possible improvements. We examine your problems and determine how R.12 can address them.
We can spot opportunities for streamlining work, tightening controls and adding efficiencies that save time and money. We will estimate upgrade costs and determine how well R12.1 will meet your needs, bring desired results, and produce real 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, and an estimate of the costs of upgrading.
Technical Upgrade Assessment Service
The technical assessment investigates future capacity requirements, Tech Stack Version Compatibility and Patch Levels, current Issues from Log files, current unresolved service requests, and hardware.
Security Assessment
TruTek's Security Assessment evaluates your Oracle database and E-Business Suite environment. We review your environment for Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) compliance and SOX compliance, including Visibility and Control, Segregation of Duties, User Access, and Business Process Controls. This is one area where what you don't know about whether your environment is secure can really hurt you.
Implement a New E-Business Suite Module Assessment
Implementing a new module isn't just a matter of flipping a switch on the licensing menu. You'll need to understand how new modules interact with existing modules, whether existing modules need to have updates applied to support the new modules, and whether your hardware environment can handle the additional load of users running additional reports and queries.
R12.1 Customization Assessment
We will identify all customizations, check-in all customizations into configuration management, and determine customizations that are replaced by new R12.1 functionality.
