Slide 36: Upgrade Scenarios • One to One – EBS to Fusion Apps – PeopleSoft Financials to Fusion Apps – PeopleSoft HRMS to Fusion Apps – Siebel CRM to Fusion Apps • Many to One – Can not be done through automated upgrade path – Upgrade one environment first and then reimplement rest • One to Many – Not recommended, but – If you use any functionality that is not part of V1 but still see business value in going to Fusion Apps, this may result in multiple Fusion Apps instances. ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. “Mastering” Master Data Solutions 36
Slide 37: Fusion Applications !!! What does this means to you? ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. “Mastering” Master Data Solutions 37
Slide 38: Fusion Applications – Adoption/Implementation • • Get trained in Fusion Middleware Technologies – Or become a Dinosaur… Eventually… Prepare to re-implement if your current installation is heavily customized – Take stock of all customizations – Document existing business processes – Identify and document process issues and deficiencies • Upgrade (probably technical) to EBS R12 if you are on R11i and your installation is either vanilla or lightly customized – Can upgrade easily from R12 to Fusion Applications, though you can technically upgrade from R11i to Fusion Applications • Older versions of EBS (prior to R11.5.10) will not be able to directly upgrade to Fusion Applications ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. “Mastering” Master Data Solutions 38
Slide 39: Fusion Applications – Adoption/Implementation • Explore implementing Fusion MDM applications either for Customer or for Product or both initially – This will give you following benefits • You are implementing a must have application that you most likely have not implemented yet • Learn the inner workings of Fusion Applications in the process • By the time you are ready to migrate from Apps Unlimited Applications to Fusion Applications – You will have trained resources – The product would have stabilized – Oracle might have released one or two point versions – Possibly increased functionality like releasing of Manufacturing modules and/or MDM solution for other domains like Sites, Suppliers, Accounting, etc. ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. “Mastering” Master Data Solutions 39

Slide 41: Fusion Applications – Learning more • Head to Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, California for the days of September 19-23, 2010 to attend Oracle Fusion World – Oops … Oracle Open World • Expecting that Oracle will release “Release Content Documents (RCD)” a month or two before release of actual Fusion Applications – It means a good possibility to see them just before Oracle Open World • • Of course don’t ignore the google god and the blog-o-rama with so many budding journalists Don’t forget to join a Linked In group “Oracle Fusion Applications” ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. “Mastering” Master Data Solutions 41
