Session #11385: Farewell Oracle EBS – A Smooth Exit
Presented by Helene Abrams, CEO
So your future direction doesn’t include Oracle E-Business Suite. Your business is moving to Oracle Cloud, migrating to another system, or undergoing an acquisition/divestiture with a company on a different ERP. Your business depends on making the transition with minimum disruption. Post-transition ERP posture must be ready instantly after the change, and key data must be aligned to the new system BEFORE the changeover to avoid a costly transition. To leave EBS, there are steps to take NOW for a smoother exit.

Session # 11057: The Benefits Of Adjustment Ledgers For GAAP Reporting And Regulatory Compliance
Presented by Brian Lewis, Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller, eprentise
Preparing adjusting entries usually involves a lot of journal entries, staff input and tedious work. Not anymore. As a more efficient processing of adjustments, adjustment-only secondary ledgers reflect only adjustments without affecting your primary ledger, allowing entries to be made discretely. Explore the benefits of using adjustment ledgers, complete with a step-by-step setup guide.

Session #11049: Starting Over: Risks, Costs, And Expectations Of A Reimplementation Or Data Migration Effort
Presented by Helene Abrams, CEO
Consider this scenario: The team wanted to do a reimplementation because we wanted an opportunity to redesign our business processes, eliminate customizations, standardize our data across the enterprise, take advantage of new EBS features, and clean up our data. We have brought many countries into our Oracle environment, and have a great deal of experience in converting data with a highly-skilled team. The reimplementation was much more than we bargained for – not in a good way. This session reviews the challenges of a reimplementation and migrating data though real-life experiences and lessons learned.
