The Spare Parts business process at a leading single-point provider of automated handling solutions was built utilizing a custom application that only one person could support. It relied on nightly updates of data from Oracle and had a number of manual processes that could introduce inconsistencies to the data that was then sent to customers. A new tool was built utilizing Oracle APEX that pulls data in real-time from the Oracle Inventory, PIM, Advanced Oracle Pricing and Order Management. APEX out of the box provides analytic tools for pivoting and building reports to help manage the process. The new tool also calls Oracle APIs to update UDAs and Generate Pricing for all parts that are being sent to the Customer. This presentation will show what was built for the company, and features that are inherent within Oracle APEX.

Interstellar - The Thomas Jefferson Enterprise EPM Cloud JourneyAlithya
It’s a story of an interstellar journey where Thomas Jefferson (TJ) unravels the capabilities of Oracle EPM Cloud to benefit their cloud digital transformation across its academic and clinical pillars. TJ has six entities which were on separate platforms ranging from on-premises Oracle EPM systems to elaborate MS Excel models. This made it difficult to execute enterprise-wide planning and performance reporting standards. Planning scenarios for what-ifs, enterprise initiatives, and allocations were not swift nor robust across all businesses. Oracle EPM Cloud has provided a uniform platform with entity, business unit, and department level scalable capabilities, resulting in a robust and repeatable Enterprise Planning and Reporting process.

Migrations of existing enterprise applications to the cloud can be complex. There are no migration methodologies or magic bullets that enable a simple lift and shift or automated migration. Typical migration projects take a great deal of discovery work, re-architecture, and refactoring. In this session, we will share known challenges and considerations that must be accounted for when designing, planning, and executing a migration. Topics will include: scale-out and distributed architectures, geographic dispersion, leveraging existing cloud services, and logging & monitoring. In addition, this session will address how in-depth discovery efforts can be paired with configuration management, automation, and source control to minimize the risk of future technical debt. Finally, we’ll cover the business and technical factors the affect the complexity of application refactoring.
