So your future direction doesn’t include Oracle® E-Business Suite. Your business is moving to Oracle Cloud, migrating to another system, or undergoing an acquisition/divestiture with a company on a different ERP. Your business depends on making the transition with minimum disruption. Post-transition ERP posture must be ready instantly after the change, and key data must be aligned to the new system BEFORE the changeover to avoid a costly transition. To leave EBS, there are steps to take NOW for a smoother exit.

A company will need to restructure existing configurations or structures to accommodate an acquiring company, to standardize data or eliminate the silos, and to shed obsolete practices. In EBS, this could include merging ledgers, legal entities, operating units, inventory orgs, or disparate EBS instances. This webinar, with eprentise Senior Director of Product Solutions Teri Williamson, presents a methodology including planning, analyzing, moving, and validating the data to maintain the data integrity. The approach includes resolving conflicts, removing duplicates, and then harmonizing the configuration, master, and transaction data to be merged.

E-Business Suite Customization Impact Assessmenteprentise
The need to manage changes in your Oracle® E-Business Suite (EBS) environments is inevitable. Some change will occur from day-to-day management of the environment. Other changes – such as mergers, acquisitions, functionality usage expansion, compliance, patching, etc. – will lead to much greater impact on those environments, necessitating clear and well-controlled change management procedures.
In addition, most organizations have created many customizations as part of their implementation to support specific business requirements. A consequence of this is that the potential impact on those customizations must be considered as part of any significant change event.
In this webinar presented by guest speaker Gordon Halley of ConfigSnapshot, we will explore both general configuration and customization within EBS to look at how these can be managed during different types of change, such as changing the business structure, or chart of accounts, upgrades, patching, and more.

Different Scenarios that Require a Calendar Change - Including the Indian Sta...eprentise
Companies using Oracle® E-Business Suite might face a situation where the business may require the accounting calendar setup to be changed as a result of being acquired, or complying with a statutory requirement. For example, companies operating in India received a mandate that their calendar must change from an April to March fiscal year to January to December. This change may take place as early as 2018. Companies who have been acquired may find that they need to match their new parent company’s calendar for their financial reporting. In another scenario, a company that is going from public to private would need to have a short calendar year so that their financials reflect the change in ownership mid-year.
Requirements would include changing the calendar structure from a monthly calendar to a 4-4-5 calendar or vice versa; changing the year from a calendar year (Jan-Dec) to the company’s fiscal year (Apr-Mar, Jul-Jun, Oct-Sep, etc.) or from a fiscal year to a calendar year; closing the year as of acquisition date and starting the operations under the acquirer company as of a certain period/date; changing the calendar period’s start or end dates or period names; or possibly adding new adjustment periods that were not defined earlier. This webinar with Raj Malekop from eprentise will explore different change scenarios and provide recommendations on how to handle these requirements.
Learning Objectives: After completion of this program you will be able to:
Objective 1: Recognize and assess different business needs that may affect your Oracle EBS Accounting Calendar setup.

Personal Data - Regulation, Control, and Removal: A Solution for GDPR Complia...eprentise
When the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018, it will have broad impacts across every business – not just in the EU, and not just in a CRM application used for marketing. GDPR is setting the standard for retention, protection, and use of personal data for customers, employees, or business partners.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
