This document maps documents from the older Application Implementation Methodology (AIM) to documents in the newer Oracle Unified Methodology (OUM). It provides the OUM document name, phase introduced, and whether it is used for customizations or is mandatory/optional for each equivalent AIM document. This mapping can help those using AIM transition to implementing Oracle applications using OUM. The complete listing of mapped documents is available to Oracle Partners on the Oracle Partner website.

1. OUM vs. AIM: Oracle Unified Methodology vs.
Application Implementation Methodology
This article maps the most commonly used documents in the AIM Methodology to those in the OUM or Oracle Unified Method methodology. In this
sense, this will be of some use to those who implement Oracle Applications using the age-old AIM, but have been asked by client to implement
using OUM.
This is by no means a comprehensive or even an authoritative list. For Partners who have access, the complete listing of such documents can be
found on Oracle Partner Website.
