Going to R12? You don't have to Reimplement.

>> Get the White Paper

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?

What People are Saying

This is the best thing since peanut butter & jelly.

-- Jack Logsdon, Barrick Gold Corporation
Not only do you have an excellent product, but you and your team provided top notch service to us (including some extra hand holding to get us in the right direction). I’m looking forward to our next project.

-- Tina Mitchell, BIAS Corporation (Client: Xiocom Wireless)
It is a pleasure to work with you and I think that the product is great for companies like Embry Riddle.

-- Karen Kerames, IT Convergence (Client: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University)
The whole project has been a success. Saved the company lots of money by not re-implementing Oracle. The quality of service was unmatched.

-- Matt Adelman, Consultant (Client: Uponor)
I’d recommend this software to anyone that needs to change their CoA with minimal effort. The FF Express team is well experienced and showed that they were subject matter experts when it came to altering your chart and its impacts.

-- Marco Meirinho, GFI Group
[The FlexField Express team] was on top of our every move from demo to implementation, providing feedback, answering questions, and asking us if we were on track. Communication was better than I have ever had with any vendor.

-- Corvin Deus, Ultradent
[FlexField Express provided] very good service. It takes a lot of the burden off the staff that’s running the conversion and allows for more focus on designing the new COA.

-- Jason LaFontaine, Marion County (Oregon)
