12  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)

13  Technology Impact Don’t underestimate time & resources based on the concept of ‘plug & play’ Technology is advanced and can speed up the process but it doesn’t replace the need for o Timeline – ensure adequate time is provided to: –Build test environments –Identify GAPs –Test and disposition GAPs o Resources - skillset and knowledge of the technical components and products –Technical resources – SOA –Functional resources – Oracle EBS/Oracle WAM –Subject Matter Experts – Business Flows

14  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
