This document discusses tools for rapidly implementing Oracle E-Business Suite, including Oracle Business Accelerators (OBA) for automated configuration, User Productivity Kit (UPK) for recording training sessions, and Data Load Professional for automated data conversion. It provides an example project for KU Children's Services where OBA configured the system in 2 weeks, UPK created training materials, and Data Load Professional streamlined data migration. The tools helped reduce the implementation time from several months to just 3 months for KU to go live on the new system.
