Lessons Learned
Planning & Approach

Identify: Integration Points, Business Flows,

System of Record for Key Components (Items,
Suppliers, Employees, etc.)
As Is documentation (up-to-date)
Familiarization - Spend the time to learn the
business flows delivered (as early as possible)
Not really an Out of the Box solution
GAPs should be identified (as early as possible)
26

Lessons Learned
Technology Impact

Dont underestimate time & resources based on the

concept of plug & play
Technology is advanced and can speed up the process
but it doesnt replace the need for
o

Timeline ensure adequate time is provided to:

Build test environments
Identify GAPs
Test and disposition GAPs

Resources - skillset and knowledge of the technical

components and products
Technical resources SOA
Functional resources Oracle EBS/Oracle WAM
Subject Matter Experts Business Flows
27

Lessons Learned
Testing

Plan for multiple test iterations

Include unit tests, system integration tests and even
performance tests
Involve business and end users early on in the
testing process
Provide for time between testing iterations to make
decisions and updates
Test complete business flows between WAM and
EBS for exception handling
