Still on the fence about upgrading from World to EnterpriseOne? Oracle has previously announced that extended support for A9.4 will expire in 2025, so World customers need to begin planning for their future ERP needs today (if they haven’t already). While there are numerous benefits for users, it still requires significant planning to be successful. There can be substantial change in all three areas (people, process, and technology) that will need to be addressed. If each is not given enough consideration, the results could be painful. Join us as we discuss a recent World to E1 upgrade projects, in hopes that it will prepare you for your upcoming project. We will discuss a recent case study in order to help provide more perspective. Some of the primary benefits were that it allowed the business the opportunity to redesign business processes, eliminate numerous software customizations that were not cost justified to maintain, redesign their entire security model, and automate several interfaces / manual processes thru utilizing the new Orchestrator capabilities. Join us as we discuss our recent upgrade experience in order to help prepare you for your journey! Objectives We will discuss our overall project structure as well as discuss all major phases / activities in detail in order to provide plenty of advice for you and your upcoming project.
