Delivering your Oracle EBS R12 Upgrade with 100% ConfidenceOriginal Software
Upgrades to the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) are a regular and painful occurrence. The impact of these upgrades varies between the patch releases, which can normally be absorbed by the existing IT and user teams, to the totally disruptive major releases such as release 12, which have a major impact across the business.
For most organisations these upgrades have too frequent and too great an impact on the business. Business analysts and end users must be reassigned for extended periods from their valuable and regular roles to plan, test and implement these upgrades.
View this presentation from our Webinar session where Jonathan Pearson, Solution Consultant, explores the difference between success and failure during your Oracle upgrade. You can also learn more about these “Top 5 Benefits of Original Software’s Oracle EBS Accelerator Pack”:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• Facilitating the Shared Services model for a global organization
Centralized assessment of security and segregation of duties violations – Estimated Savings –
approximately 500 hrs per year – 130 SOD Rules built in
More detailed visibility into which users can perform critical functions within Oracle –
especially in foreign locations.
• Transaction Controls Implemented – saving time & benefiting the bottom line
Already identified a number of duplicate payments for investigation and future recovery
Monitoring for compliance exceptions (Enter vs Post Journals)

Keys to Success
• Business led implementation of Oracle Advanced Controls
What do you need?
Why do you need it?
What value will it bring you?
Compared to other business requirements what is the priority?
Are you prepared to own and operate the output post implementation?
• CEMLI Assessment
Worked with IT and the business to identify customization candidates that could be replaced with Oracle
Advanced Controls
Determined those CEMLI’s where it would be truly more efficient
• Looking at things from a Shared Services perspective
Leveraged to monitor activity across the global EBS footprint
Duplicate payments, entering and posting journals, security/sod etc
26
27. PwC
Benefits of implementing as part of the R12 project
• Oracle Advanced controls viewed as an additional tool or accelerator by the project
team
• Ability to use PCG to address unique business requirements real time
• Embed controls into the to-be processes as opposed to a more expensive retro-fit post
go-live
• Project ran in parallel with the overall EBS R12 re-implementation (did not impact or
slow-down the critical path)
• Tools were available to monitor activity during the project (e.g. configuration changes)
• Helped the security re-design team understand where the potential conflicts sat prior
to go-live as opposed to expensive re-design post go-live.
