Jade’s Oracle Cloud Implementation Methodology

Upgrading to the Cloud comes with its challenges in data migration, conversion, and integration and it should fit into your project plan, budget, and timeline. Jade Global helps you meet those challenges with implementation tools and Oracle Cloud Implementation Methodology that ease your journey to the Cloud.

We have developed a cloud upgrade methodology that provides consistent results, scalable processes, documents, and a proven roadmap for cloud success. Jade’s Oracle Implementation Methodology (JCIM) maximizes the benefits of the cloud upgrade while helping you understand and mitigate the risks. JCIM is a proven methodology fine-tuned by experience. It helps realize the benefits of the Cloud quickly and efficiently.

Jade Cloud Implementation Methodology

The Jade Approach

We assess your readiness to move to the Oracle Cloud, including a change management plan. We identify those areas that can be strengthened before we start your journey to the Cloud. We continue with the solution design phase, considering your business requirements, and discuss the software features and functions before mapping a design.

After the design phase, we validate the design with testing. Using an Agile hybrid approach, we guide you through multiple iterations of the solution. We then proceed with transition activities, including a project segment where we conduct parallel processing to assure good results. Finally, we go- live with the solution and help you understand and optimize your day-to-day operations.

Along with our cloud methodology, we have a set of internal tools, the Jade Delivery Platform (JDP). JDP has been developed to bring repeatable delivery guidelines to your project and works in tandem with JCIM. JDP assures consistent uniform excellence with templates, guidelines, checklists, and a set of project management processes used by the Jade delivery team.

JDP helps assure consistent delivery excellence and helps detect issues and risks in time to avoid most problems and leads to quick resolution of those that do occur.

Flexibility

The Jade Cloud Implementation Methodology is scalable and flexible to address the unique goals for your project.

Jade Global Cloud Implementation Methodology Phases

Phase 1: Cloud Ready

In this phase we plan the project and the project resources, identify user roles and privileges and look at the basic processes in each module. We also assess the readiness of personnel and the organization to move to the cloud and make recommendations for change activities. We provide a basic orientation of the project including expectations alignment, application overview, implementation and change management to be ready to kick off the project

Phase 2: Design

We continue with design workshops where key users learn the new processes and document changes or gaps to be addressed. We also develop a data conversion and migration strategy, integration strategy and finalize your unique test scenarios and user roles and privileges.

Phase 3: Configure & Build

We test the modules and processes with your data. This phase is iterative based on the process testing outcomes. There can be multiple iterative cycles between Configure & Build and Validate. We configure the next testing instance based on testing results. We also begin end-user training and draft the cutover plan. During the Validate phase we continue the process of transferring ownership of the testing, processes and applications to you.

Phase 4: Validate

Phase 5: Transition

In the transition phase we are getting ready for cutover. We configure the final test system and use real data and live integrations to validate the design. We also conduct “Day in the Life” testing. This is a unique feature of our methodology that has key user testing in parallel with live data. This is the final shakedown of the process and serves as additional user training before go-live.

Phase 6 :Realize

We are near the end…or near the beginning…depending on your perspective. In this phase, we go-live and begin the ongoing maintenance of your cloud applications. We prepare for and conduct a period-end close. Congratulations, you are in the cloud!

What Makes Jade Different

We utilize several Jade-developed tools throughout the implementation. We also stay focused on delivering true business benefits – not just a system - and we help you optimize your processes to take full advantage of the Oracle Cloud.n.

One of our biggest differentiators is our focus on transferring ownership of the processes and applications to you. When we finish our phased implementation, your stakeholders and users will have helped design the system configuration and new processes. They will be familiar with and comfortable with solution. As we step through the process, we are transferring ownership of the activities to you so that there are no surprises when you go-live.

Our change management phases run parallel to our methodology. Jade Global will guide you through the process to assure a smooth adoption and the greatest benefit from your implementation investment.
