The Internet has driven another tide of business innovation. With more competition, giving priority to business agility is one of the secret recipes to stay ahead in this volatile

market. Time to value and elasticity characteristics, fueled by lower-cost has compelled many new organizations to consider cloud transformation.

business processes. Oracle has invested heavily on the modernization of ERP, EPM, SCM, HCM, CX line of enterprise applications to encourage on-premise EBS IT estates to

move to Oracle Cloud with programs like Apps Unlimited, Move & Improve.

EBS Modernization


According to Oracle, only ~30% of enterprise workloads are in the public cloud while there are 100,000s of Oracle EBS customers actively leveraging Oracle EBS Suite for

their mission-critical business processes. If you are one of such a customer running EBS in on-premise infrastructure, here is a great opportunity to modernize and start

saving on TCO of your complete EBS Landscape and much more.

Whatever your reason and whichever stage you are in your enterprise cloud migration journey, Jade Global along with Oracle partnership can show a practical path to take

your Oracle enterprise applications to cloud and modernize it. Recently Oracle announced that they will be following a “Continuous Innovation” release model for Oracle

E-Business Suite 12.2, delivering ongoing applications and underlying technology stack updates for 12.2 without requiring a major upgrade. Additionally, EBS R12.2 is the

long-term support release for Oracle E-Business Suite, with Premier Support for 12.2 available through at least 2031.

Are you a customer relying on Oracle EBS for all these years, behind upgrades and using previous releases like 11i and 12.0? It is the right time with powerful and flexible

options. It can be compelling to move to OCI and then upgrade to a certified release once you are in cloud to the latest R12.2.9 version, for the following reasons

Oracle EBS Releases 11i and 12.0, both are under Sustaining Support, for which no new fixes will be provided by Oracle Support.

Oracle EBS Releases 12.1.1 and 12.1.2, both do not meet the minimum requirements for the creation of one-off patches or other fixes.

Practical Paths to OracleCloud for EBS Customers


Are you an E-Business Suite customer, who no longer wish to have the responsibility of maintaining, upgrading, and securing your multi-organization oriented on-premise

EBS software and have evaluated SaaS and believe, it's the right thing for you to migrate to SaaS model, then obviously that is something you could do by migrating each

product to Oracle ERP Cloud. If your organization acquires a new Oracle ERP landscape as part of new acquisitions, have complex financial processes, multi-currency, then

ERP Cloud is a simple solution to consolidate multiple ERP systems into one.

Are you an E-Business Suite customer, who is not ready to migrate to a full cloud application yet, but you want to explore and possibly adopt the cloud to mitigate or fulfill

gaps that you may have in your current on-premise EBS footprint? Here is an option and it is called coexistence. This is a hybrid approach where you start adding some of

the modules, some of the applications that come from the SaaS world from a cloud application to your on-premise EBS setup. The hybrid approach can become a new

normal option for organizations who already invested heavily towards on-premise infrastructure and wants to modernize EBS, then leveraging Oracle Cloud Application

(aka SaaS Application) for new business services as a starting point. This is a Single process or Function transformation.

Are you an E-Business Suite customer, who considered a cloud-first strategy, keeping long-term benefits and cost avoidance towards on-premise, then Move and Improve

is the right option for your current EBS landscape? Then, migrating to OCI, Integrating your ERP with EPM, SCM, HCM, CX, and On-premise applications by leveraging OIC

and setting up SSO between all of these environments using IDCS, monitoring using OMC, Life cycle management, whatever your requirement, OIC IaaS has the best

solution to offer for all your EBS modernization needs. Move to OCI and Upgrade to EBS R12.2.x, then no further upgrades for another 10+ years. This is a completetransformation.

Conclusion


The migration approach for EBS Applications can depend on each organization and its priorities. However, considering complete current state architecture, workload,

business goals, cloud adoption priorities, integration complexities, ROI and TCO can help to decide the right path.

Moving to OCI and then upgrading your EBS Suite to R12.2.9 will provide all the benefits Oracle wants to offer to their loyal customers along with several other SaaS and

PaaS solutions available only in OCI at best performance and lowest cost. Moving your BI Datawarehouse to OCI can add more value since you are keeping all the data flow

within the same cloud providers network and it comes with huge cost savings and best performance.

The decision you make for EBS Application future state can obviously affect your migration approach for all dependent enterprise applications like OBIEE, HCM, SCM, EPM,

CX, etc. and all other peripheral applications leveraging EBS data. At Jade Global, We can help you choose the right cloud migration options for your Oracle and Non-Oracle

enterprise applications! We will be glad to offer our “Zero Capex EBS infrastructure Modernization” program to move forward!
