The start of a new year is often a good time to reassess the
status of your Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) environment, and how effective its
current structure is to your company. As a mission-critical system,
considerable time and attention should be devoted to maintaining, improving,
and optimizing EBS. While most tasks are relatively routine in nature,
sometimes — either due to organizational changes, updates in management and
regulatory reporting requirements, or the need to upgrade — a change is needed in
your EBS system that requires the initiation of a more complex project.
Even with the best of intentions, planning, and hard
work, complex EBS projects can fail for a variety of reasons. Whether you’re
planning for an R12 upgrade, completing a post-M&A consolidation,
implementing OBIEE or Hyperion, or simplifying your EBS footprint (or more),
reviewing and recognizing common Oracle project management failures and their
respective best solutions can ensure that your projects succeed in 2016 and
beyond.
Here are some specific and common reasons why Oracle
projects fail, including advice on how to prevent them in advance.
