Oracle’s Recommendations for Customers

43

Building the Business Case for Upgrading

•  Evaluate the new 12.1 features in the products you are currently running –  Opportunities to eliminate customizations –  Greater flexibility to match the needs of your business –  Opportunities for additional automation and process improvement

•  Look for adjacent products that might add value –  Many products are much stronger at the 12.1 level than they were in 11i 0 –  Adding modules is low cost since you are leveraging the implementation

work you have already done –  Some customers have justified the upgrade primarily by the need to get to

the 12.1 level so they could implement additional products
