AST offers comprehensive upgrade and migration services to help you take your enterprise applications to the latest version of the Oracle Database and Application Suite. We have successfully planned, managed and executed several Oracle R12 and 11i E-Business Suite upgrade projects for both commercial enterprises and public sector applications. Our proprietary upgrade-specific methodology - Enterprise Application Migration (EAM) - uses a quick results-oriented, iterative approach to help streamline and accelerate Oracle Applications upgrades.

As part of every upgrade, we analyze the functionality available in the new release and evaluate whether any of the customizations can be replaced with standard functionalities. In addition to complex public sector and multi-org upgrades, our extensive experience with customizations and integration of external systems with Oracle Applications has allowed us to successfully upgrade several highly customized sites to R12 and 11i. With minimal downtime, our experienced and knowledgeable functional experts will guide you through the new Oracle Applications features, and assist you in preparing for any issues encountered during and after the upgrade.

Our comprehensive assessment services are available for organizations that would like to learn about the benefits of upgrading, and know in advance the full impact on their operations. To assist project managers and planners with their planning for cost, effort and a project timeline for an upgrade, our free, self-service Project Budget Calculator can assist you in preparing your organization for a major upgrade.
