1. Oracle Cloud is a valued driver of modernization and growth – as much for large, complex organizations as it is for businesses with relatively small audiences. Regardless of size, companies preparing for a growth stage need to modernize systems to prepare for expansion. Oracle Cloud can set the stage for the expansion.
2. A key to success for every business is the ability to use resources in optimal-value ways. Oracle Cloud helps businesses conserve resources for reallocation to contribute to growth instead of maintenance.
3. Follow established best practices that you learn through Oracle and its users time and time again. This includes:

• engaging your executive team to ensure your success on the journey to the cloud;
• redesigning and aligning business processes to support the new system and avoiding customizations;
• and allowing for the proper allocation of resources to support implementation.

4. Develop and execute a robust testing plan to validate all stages of the upgrade process. When you run and complete tests successfully, you help to ensure that the upgrade process is predictable and successful.
