Your Situation Today

When Oracle Fusion Remains Isolated from the Rest of the IT Infrastructure

Deploying Oracle Fusion is not enough to streamline processes if interactions with other applications still rely on files, data re-entry, or custom developments that are difficult to maintain.

As data flows increase, a lack of oversight, documentation, and governance can undermine data reliability. Anomalies are sometimes discovered by business units only after the process has already been affected.

Do any of these situations sound familiar to you?

  • 01. Oracle Fusion remains isolated: Oracle Fusion ERP, HCM, EPM, CX, or SCM has been deployed or is in the process of being deployed, but remains largely disconnected from other applications.
  • 02. Teams re-enter the data: information is shared via Excel files or manual processes, which carries the risk of errors and delays.
  • 03. Legacy interfaces are difficult to maintain: scripts, ETL processes, and specific SFTP transfers are poorly documented and do not always have adequate monitoring in place.
  • 04. Errors are discovered by business units: the lack of centralized visibility into erroneous data flows delays the identification and resolution of anomalies.
  • 05. Oracle Fusion updates can disrupt business operations: Oracle Fusion’s quarterly updates may interfere with specific integrations and require regular checks.

If any of these situations sound familiar to you, your priority workflows can be automated and monitored using Oracle Integration Cloud.

Does this package fit within your integration scope?

This offering is intended for organizations that use Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and need to integrate this environment with the rest of their information system.

It is suitable if:

  • You use Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, HCM, EPM, CX, or SCM;
  • You need to connect Fusion to a procurement solution, a payroll solution, banks, a CRM, business tools, or internal repositories;
  • You want to send data to a data lake for analytics purposes;
  • Your communications still rely on files, re-entering data, or specific customizations;
  • You already have Oracle Integration or would like to set it up;
  • You have identified an initial list of priority workflows.

The Scope

From Mapping to Supervised Interfaces in Production

Scope and Prioritization

Inventory of data flows, prioritization, drafting of interface specifications, and selection of integration patterns: real-time; batch; event-driven.

5 Priority Interfaces

Design and implementation of five interfaces between Oracle Fusion and one to three third-party applications.

Interfaces can be simple, moderate, or complex.

Oracle Fusion Standard Mechanisms

Depending on the nature of the data exchange, the interfaces rely on available standard mechanisms:

  • REST API;
  • industry events;
  • FBDI uploads;
  • HDL shipments;
  • BI Publisher reports.

At least 2 Oracle Integration environments

Setup of two OIC environments:

  • a non-production environment;
  • a production environment.

Connections between Oracle Fusion, Oracle Integration, and third-party applications are secure.

Tests and recipe

Conducting unit tests and end-to-end integration tests, followed by supporting business units during acceptance testing.

Production Deployment and Hypercare

Deployment of interfaces, activation of monitoring, transfer of responsibilities to the support team, and two weeks of enhanced follow-up.

Deliverable Submitted

  • Flow Mapping and Scoping Document
  • Technical Specifications by Interface (Mapping Rules, Volume, Frequency)
  • OIC integrations in production, versioned
  • Monitoring Dashboard and Rejection Management Procedure
  • Test Specifications and Acceptance Report
  • Operations Documentation and Transfer of Responsibilities to the Support Team

Supplements

  • Pre-packaged applications for monitoring and simplified technical maintenance
  • TMA / Integration Runs (annual flat fee, service level agreements, proactive monitoring)
  • Non-regression testing during quarterly Oracle Fusion updates
  • Additional Interfaces (One Abacus per Interface)
  • Migration of existing middleware (ODI, SOA Suite, third-party ETL) to Oracle Integration

These needs may be addressed through a scoping process or an additional service.

A well-managed schedule

From mapping to production in 10 weeks

The implementation of the standard scope takes 10 weeks, from the kickoff meeting to go-live. It is followed by 2 weeks of hypercare.

AI in Oracle Fusion

AI in Support of Design and Delivery Quality

Artificial intelligence primarily serves as a catalyst for the SQORUS teams. Additional AI features may also be explored depending on the intended uses of the data.

In the SQORUS delivery

Teams can use AI assistants to help with:

  • interface design;
  • code generation;
  • the generation of test sets;
  • the preparation of documentation;
  • reviewing the code.

These practices are intended to improve productivity and the quality of the deliverables. The deliverables are monitored as part of the project.

Dans la solution

APEX AI Assistant and Select AI on the Autonomous AI Database allow users to query data using natural language.

These features can be considered based on their intended uses and the associated functional scope.
