Aligns with common processes used for EBS

Ad-hoc development lifecycle; moving individual files

Create Packages and select individual files

Package and File Level Visibility across topology

Build AOL objects from SCM or Development EBS

Aligns with common paradigm for build/deploy

All committed files (in SCM) are eligible for build

Scheduled Builds and Continuous Integration (CI)

Approach #1 : Package-based

Approach #2 : Full Automation

Release Management approaches using FlexDeploy

12

• Open platform for Application Release Automation and DevOps

• Supports Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Applications (DB,

EBS, etc.), Cloud, and non-Oracle technologies

• Multiple options for migrating changes across EBS instances

• Traditional approach via partial deploys (packaged based)

• More fully automated approach supporting CI and scheduling

• Based on current technology, with Java at the core, and supports

the evolution of technology over time

• Agentless architecture minimizes the administration of agents

across end points

• Able to Deploy anywhere, and is “cloud enabled” which allows

customers to run FlexDeploy on-prem or in the cloud and deploy to

any endpoint

• Lower price point than many of the commercial solutions available

today

FlexDeploy – Value proposition

Success Stories

16

“FlexDeploy has dramatically

improved our ability to deliver

software fast and with high quality…”

“FlexDeploy should be evaluated

by all Fusion Middleware

customers…”

“With Flexagon’s FlexDeploy,

our deployment worries are

FlexaGONE!”

What do our customers think about us….

17

Before and After with FlexDeploySuccess with a Global Food Manufacturer

Before: Manual and Scripted After: Automated with FlexDeploy

• Lack of a repeatable approach to

software delivery

• Limited ability to deliver

applications/changes in a rapid and

cost-effective manner

• Manual and scripted processes are

slow, error prone, and costly

• Limited visibility led to difficulty in

change and release management

• Work/life balance, associate

satisfaction, and retention issues

• Better positioned to meet aggressive

business growth strategies

• Fully automated processes increased

speed of deployments by 80-90%

• Reduced outages caused by

deployment issues by 75%

• Realized ROI in 3 months

• Faster troubleshooting and issue

resolution

• Visibility and auditability improved

• Direct correlation to associate

satisfaction improvements

“FlexDeploy has dramatically improved our ability to deliver software fast and with high

quality, positioning us to meet our aggressive business growth strategy. In addition to

support for Oracle Fusion Middleware and E-Business Suite, FlexDeploy supports

other Oracle and non-Oracle technology, exceeding our already high expectations for

an enterprise platform for build, deploy, and release automation.” – CIO
