Going to R12? You don't need to reimplement.

no-reimplement-mod_01 The transition from 11i to R12 is a high-stakes major initiative for any E-Business Suite customer. We have observed that companies plan the transition for approximately a year, then set budgets, line up resources, and do the work over one to two years. Projects may cost in the range of several million dollars to tens of millions and are often proportional to the size and complexity of the business.

We believe E-Business Suite 11i customers can upgrade instead of reimplement, shorten the time-to-value at a lower cost, and provide a better R12 result for both the Business and IT. Why reimplement?
