Oracle E-Business Suite R11i Premier Support ended in November 2010 and will be replaced with Extended Support for a period of 3 years. The higher cost of Extended Support has been waived until November 2013.

As a business user of R11, you have 3 options to stay with Oracle E-Business Suite:

• Remain on your current version
• Upgrade to Oracle R12 and enjoy the benefits
• Re-implement to Oracle R12

Deciding on which option to take is a complex question to answer.  Obtaining buy-in from all your relevant stakeholders and understanding the timescales and risks involved in upgrading Oracle is challenging at the best of times - making this decision in a climate of budget cuts requires a compelling and thorough business case, taking into account benefits, risks and commercial impacts.

Rocela can help you make this decision.  Our experience and expertise gained in similar scenarios dates back more than 10 years to the last significant Oracle upgrade - from R10.7.11 to R11i. 

We have a structured, methodical approach to establishing your business case for upgrading to Oracle R12 enabling your organisation to make the right decision.  This process has evolved over time, taking into account our in-depth understanding and experience of Oracle R12. Today, we are adopting this process with our existing client base, many of whom have worked with us since the days of R10.7.11, to advise them on the best way forward.

There is no substitute for experience when it comes to assessing whether to upgrade your ERP solution.  Based on our many years experience and intimate knowledge of Oracle E-Business Suite, our Oracle upgrade methodology is based on a series of simple steps and workshops.  The output from these workshops will form a company specific report summarizing your potential options, risks, benefits, license impact and will assess the capabilities of your internal resources and support requirements necessary to undertake the project. 

As you would expect from Rocela it's all about optimising Oracle - and ensuring you have the information you need to make the optimum decision for your business. 

If you are considering Oracle R12 and need advise on whether upgrading to R12 is the right answer, call us today on 0870 100 4000 to see how we can help you make an informed decision.
