HEADLINE: King County (Seattle) WA, selects AST Corporation as its upgrade migration partner.

Naperville, IL -- Located on Puget Sound in Washington State, and covering more than 2,200 square miles, King County is nearly twice as large as the average county in the United States. With more than 1.7 million people, it also ranks as the 12th most populous county in the nation. It stands to reason then, that when King County decided to upgrade their Oracle Applications Release 10.7 Character to Release 11i, they would seek out a firm with a strong Public Sector component, a firm exclusively dedicated to Oracle Applications Consulting Services with successful experience mirroring their expectations and objectives.

 

In March 2003, the King County project got underway with a detailed assessment and gap analysis geared in part to inform and educate key users and super users regarding the features and functionality of Release 11i. From the beginning, committed involvement from the King County staff has enabled AST Corporation to remain focused and timeline sensitive for this significant upgrade activity. Following King County’s vision and goal that this upgrade be technical, with minimal changes to the software and business processes, AST’s team of consultants have been managing the migration of GL, AR, Purchasing, AP, Inventory, and Order Entry with interfaces between Oracle Financials and external legacy systems (workorder systems, Payroll, Budget, Fixed Assets) with commitment, professionalism and knowledge transfer in equal measure.  

 

AST Corporation is pleased to include King County Washington among its growing consulting services client list of Oracle Applications users.
