Oracle Fusion
cloud applications

Oracle Cloud ERP, HCM and SCM implemented and then kept current: configuration, data conversion, supported extensions, and the quarterly update cycle that begins the day you go live.

Experienced Oracle consultants, delivering Fusion as an estate to be operated, not a project to be closed.

ModulesERP, HCM, SCM

Financials, procurement, projects, payroll, HR and supply chain on one platform.

CadenceQuarterly updates

Oracle ships four releases a year on its calendar. Regression is a standing job.

MethodConfigure before extend

Every extension has to survive an update, so the default answer is configuration.

ExpertiseOracle specialists

Functional and technical consultants who run Fusion estates day to day.

What we implement

Fusion, end to end

Phased by pillar or big bang, on your calendar. Most clients start with financials and procurement, then add HCM once the close is stable.

Financials and procurement

General ledger, payables, receivables, cash, assets and expenses, with procurement and supplier portal alongside.

Chart of accounts and enterprise structures are designed in front of finance before anything is built.

A ledger that closes on a schedule finance signed off in advance.

Human capital management

Core HR, absence, talent and payroll, with the approval hierarchies and security model that decide who sees what.

Payroll parallel runs are treated as the gate they are, not a formality.

Payroll that reconciles to the legacy run before anyone switches it off.

Supply chain

Inventory, order management, manufacturing and cost management, connected to the plants and third parties that feed them.

Cutover for supply chain is planned around a physical count, not a weekend.

Stock positions that agree with the floor on day one.

Data conversion

Extraction, cleansing, mapping and load of master and transactional data, with reconciliation packs by ledger and sub-ledger.

Conversion runs repeatedly through the project. The final load is the sixth rehearsal, not the first attempt.

Balances that tie out, with the working shown.

Extensions and integration

Visual Builder pages, Oracle Integration Cloud flows, BI Publisher and OTBI reporting, REST and file interfaces.

Extensions are built on supported interfaces so an update cannot silently break them.

Customisation that survives Oracle's release calendar.

Update regression

An automated suite over the flows that would stop the business, run against each quarterly release in a test pod before production.

New features are assessed and turned on deliberately rather than discovered by users.

Updates that arrive as a scheduled task rather than an incident.

Fusion modules

Fusion, module by module

Each page covers one Fusion application. Most estates run several of them on the same ledger and security model.

How a Fusion programme runs

StageOneFit-gap

Current processes mapped against standard Fusion, with every requirement classified as configure, extend, retire or replace.

Requirements that exist only because the old system could not do something are retired here.

You receive:

A scored requirement list

Each item with a disposition, an effort estimate and an owner, plus the phasing options and what each one costs.

You keep this document whether or not we build the system.

StageTwoConfigure

Structures, chart of accounts, security and approvals configured in a real environment and demonstrated in conference room pilots.

Pilots run against converted data. Sample data hides exactly the problems a pilot exists to find.

You receive:

A signed configuration workbook

Every setting recorded with the decision behind it, the extension list agreed, and integration contracts fixed.

Changes after this point go through a documented change process, including ours.

StageThreeProve

System, integration and user acceptance testing, payroll parallel runs, a parallel close on a real period, and a rehearsed cutover.

Go or no-go criteria are agreed before testing starts, so the decision is arithmetic rather than sentiment.

You receive:

A proven cutover plan

Timed runbook with rollback points, reconciliation packs signed by finance, and a hypercare rota with names against hours.

Two clean parallel results is the bar. One is luck.

StageFourKeep current

Hypercare through the first close, then steady state: quarterly update regression, extension maintenance, new feature assessment.

The people who built it run it. There is no handover to a support team that has never seen your configuration.

You receive:

A quarterly release cycle

Each Oracle release tested in a pod, impacts reported before the production window, and a monthly service review of incidents and closes.

Feature adoption is a decision you make, with the effort and benefit costed.

Extension policy

Configure first, extend last

The cost of a Fusion estate is not decided at go-live. It is decided by how much of the system sits outside standard, because that is the part someone has to retest four times a year, forever.

So configuration is exhausted before extension is considered, extensions are built only on supported interfaces, and each one carries the name of the process owner who asked for it.

Ask about a fit-gap
  • ConfigurationStructures, flexfields, approval rules, security roles and reporting. No code, no update risk, no ongoing regression cost.
  • Supported extensionVisual Builder, Integration Cloud, BI Publisher. Built on published interfaces, covered by the regression suite.
  • Not builtAnything that requires modifying Oracle's code or working around a supported pattern. We will say no and explain why.

Policy applies to work we deliver. Existing extensions are assessed and brought into the suite where they can be.

Questions we get asked

Before a Fusion business case

How long does a Fusion implementation take?

It depends on scope and on how clean the source data is, and any firm number quoted before a fit-gap is a sales figure rather than an estimate. What we can commit to is the shape: fit-gap in weeks, configuration and conversion iterating together, and no go-live date fixed until a parallel run has succeeded twice.

What actually happens during a quarterly update?

Oracle applies the release to your test pod first, on a published schedule. We run the regression suite there, report what changed and what broke, and assess new features against your processes. Production follows a couple of weeks later. Without a regression suite that sequence becomes a guess, which is how update weekends turn into incidents.

Can we phase by module instead of going live all at once?

Yes, and most clients should. Financials and procurement first is the common order because the close is the hardest thing to fix later. Phasing costs more in integration and temporary interfaces, and less in risk. The fit-gap prices both options so the choice is yours to make on numbers.

Do we lose the reporting we built over years in EBS?

You lose the implementation, not the requirement. Report inventories are reconciled against actual usage during fit-gap, which typically retires a large share of them, and what survives is rebuilt in OTBI or BI Publisher. Reports nobody has opened in twelve months are not migrated.

Who owns the extensions after go-live?

You do. The code, the pipeline, the test cases and the documentation are yours throughout. If you move the managed service elsewhere, the regression suite goes with the estate.

Fusion thatstays current.

Start with a fit-gap. Weeks, not months, and you leave with a scored requirement list and a costed phasing option whether or not you continue with us.
