Implementation and Upgrade Assistance
The best implementations happen when our consultants work in partnership with our clients. New implementations of the Oracle E Business Suite require analysis of the business structure and the business processes of a company prior to setting up the system. Our staff has extensive experience completing implementations from the initial project planning stages to the final user training and testing. Leveraging the CMMC team’s experience in concert with our client’s knowledge of their business, we will save valuable time during the initial implementation and for many years to come.

CM Mitchell’s methodology ensures that the Oracle system is setup using best practices to allow for optimal functionality. Additionally, our team follows an approach that will allow future upgrades to the software to be implemented in a straight-forward manner. Our staff has assisted many companies with their upgrade from character, client/server, or early 11.i software to the latest web enabled version of Oracle E-Business Suite. Our experienced staff combined with our proven methodology assures a proven, predictable implementation for our clients.

System/Project Health Check
Periodic audits including key recommendations can make all of the difference when implementing or maintaining your Oracle system. The CMMC team assists our clients in keeping their projects on track and their Oracle systems running smoothly for many years. The value of having an independent third party to review deliverables, project progress, system performance, data conversion accuracy, etc. is critical to keeping projects on track and on budget. Our services include:

  • Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services for implementations and upgrades
  • Module setup review of existing applications - has your business changed since you first implemented Oracle?
  • In-sourcing vs. out-sourcing comparison - At CMMC we’ve seen both models work effectively, what are the pros/cons of each and which is most cost effective for you?
  • Performance review - is your system running as fast as you would like?
  • Database tuning - a simple database tuning may be able to speed up your system
  • Hardware recommendations for new implementations
  • Backup and recovery review
  • Business Intelligence - are you getting the information out of your system that you are looking for?
  • Next steps - now that you have done the most difficult part what should you do next?
  • Sarbanes-Oxley compliance - will your system pass the test from your internal audit team?
    • System Access (security)
    • Segregation of duties
    • Testing compliance and sign-off

Software Extensions
Our consultants are experienced in installing additional modules to existing environments, adding new customizations or eliminating old customizations, replacing them with new Oracle functionality.

Extreme thought goes into any interface or conversion designed by CM Mitchell Consulting. Rather than modifying the application directly, program extensions are used to help ensure a smooth upgrade in the future. By utilizing Oracle’s existing workflow capabilities and user defined fields, specific business needs can be met without extensive development efforts. Examples include:

  • Invoice Automation
  • Punch-Out
  • XML Delivery
  • Automated Clearing House (ACH)
  • Electronic Data Integration (EDI)
  • Workflows
  • Framework

Data Interfaces / Conversion
The truly great consultants are the ones that understand the business that created the data. If the business data is not truly understood, there is no assurance that the data that has been converted or interfaced accurately. Our consultants know that improperly converted or interfaced data will result in business decisions that can be financially disastrous to a company. CM Mitchell Consulting has certified professionals on staff to understand and validate the exchange of business information.

Training
Just because a company has finished an Oracle implementation does not mean that their training needs are over. The ability to bring new employees up to speed quickly is a requirement that all companies face as they grow. CMMC offers training services designed to meet the varied needs of our clients. Services include:

  • Instructor-Led Training
  • Development of Training Materials
  • One-on-one Training

Content Enablement of Oracle E-Business Suite
CM Mitchell Consulting has developed DocSavi for Oracle E Business Suite, a solution that provides Oracle users full access to documents stored within ECM content repositories directly from the Oracle applications screens.
