Oracle EBS Data Loading Using appLOAD™ at LifeWay Christian Resourcesby Austin Davis, Vice President of Marketing, Chain-Sys

LifeWay Christian Resources is a religious nonprofit organization and is an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention.

LifeWay produces Bibles, church literature, books, music, audio and video recordings, church supplies and Internet

services. The ministry operates 154 LifeWay Christian Stores across the country. LifeWay’s home office is in Nashville,

Tennessee, where about 1250 employees work.

LifeWay has successfully implemented Oracle EBS Financials, Projects, APC, Inventory, Purchasing, Order

Management and Advanced Pricing modules for its global operations. LifeWay is on Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS)

version 11.5.10.2, and their production database size is 1200 GB.

The Struggle with DataLoaderManual mass data loading/

maintenance within Oracle EBS can

be tedious and very time consuming.

LifeWay utilized DataLoader for

performing data loading as an

alternative to manual methods. The

DataLoadertooltookalotoftimeand

still could not provide a fool-proof and

robust solution. Amy Goolsby recalls

that for about 1500 items loading, it

required constant monitoring and

took two weeks with eight computers

in the conference room. This time

does not include the data loader

spread sheet preparation time.

How to Eat an Elephant, One Byte at a Timeby Helene Abrams, CEO, eprentise

The elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about is the Oracle® E-Business Suite (EBS) that supports

business-critical operations but threatens the organization’s ability to respond to change. Access to real-time

corporate information is critical to performance, but more important is a company’s ability to analyze and make

sense of giant quantities of data and to get disparate parts of the business to work together.

Enterprise resource planning systems like EBS are cumbersome, overgrown and poorly suited to handle recent

business changes and certainly not the challenges of big data proliferating from many diverse sources. It’s a giant,

elephant-sized task that begs for an evolved relationship between data and ERP. Reducing this complexity by

remodeling is one way EBS organizations are preparing to fight the big data war.

The importance that businesses and analysts are placing on the relatively new concept of big data shows that the need

for organizations to remodel their EBS systems has never been clearer. In many organizations, support of outdated

configurations and existing implementations of EBS are consuming upwards of 65 percent of the IT budget. Smart

organizations need to become leaner and more agile — a potentially difficult goal with an EBS environment that is

inflexible, expensive to maintain and consumes the resources needed to implement new strategies, undertake new

initiatives or reorganize the business.

Remodeling in the context of ERP systems is restructuring the existing EBS data without reimplementing. Remodeling

EBS uses software to change the original setups such ledgers (and sets of books), legal entities, operating units,

inventory organizations, calendars and charts of accounts, among others. Companies are eating the elephant one

byte at a time by successfully using remodeling tools to reduce maintenance costs (freeing up resources for new

initiatives), to add business value (by enabling the implementation of new strategies) and to streamline operations.

Remodeling EBS aligns enterprise applications with current business processes and reduces the complexity of the

underlying data, enabling EBS to better understand the purpose of information before it ever reaches the database.

Science fiction? No. Remodeling does, however, promote — and provide — an adjustment of perception.

A global business today needs to shift its operational focus from being able to quickly respond to change to being able to

quickly enable change; from deriving meaning from data once it’s in EBS (with third-party business intelligence tools

or analytics packages) to remodeling EBS so that its underlying structure provides the meaning. Remodeling is the

enabler that reduces complexity and makes EBS data complete, consistent and correct — everywhere in the enterprise.

It sounds like a drastic change in time management and corporate performance — too good to be true, maybe even

magic — but remember that before ERP systems were around, we managed business operations by paper. Moving

to ERP systems was not an evolution of the corporation — it was a revolution, a giant leap forward for business.

Remodeling is a transformative revolution of similar scope that provides a method for eating the EBS elephant

one byte at a time, allowing you to reduce the complexity of EBS at its core so that your business can interact with

information in an entirely new way and compete successfully in an increasingly data-driven economy.

About eprentise

eprentise provides software that allows Oracle E-Business Suite users to consolidate

multiple production instances, to change existing configurations like charts of

accounts and calendars, and to merge, split, or move sets of books, operating units,

legal entities, business groups, and inventory organizations. eprentise gives EBS

organizations the agility needed to support changing business requirements, avoid a reimplementation, and lower

the total cost of ownership of ERP while also enabling real-time access to complete, consistent, and correct data

across the enterprise. Visit www.eprentise.com for more information.

Frustrated by Losing Client ADI with Migration toOracle E-Business Suite R12 or Excel 2007?by Chris Meyer, Managing Director Americas, Excel4apps

As organizations consider upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Release 12 or MS Excel 2007, they face a

dilemma in how to avoid interruptions in reporting from the General Ledger (GL) without Oracle’s Client Application

Time Consuming ProcessesClientADIallowsuserstoproduceFSGreports,whiletheR12ReportManagerstorespoint-in-timereports.Itwas

not designed as an ad hoc enquiry tool and does not allow users to easily define or modify reports. Users can submit

ad-hoc FSG or standard reports, but they must re-create each template in a special editor before its first use. Report

Reports must be saved in a repository, where chronological instead of alphabetical storage makes access to recent

EMC Saves $1 Million with Informatica Application Retirement Solutionsby Julie Lockner, Vice President ILM Product Marketing, Informatica Corporation

“Using Informatica, EMC has been able to rapidly retire multiple candidate modules over a three-day period,

including Accounts Receivable, Inventory and General Ledger,” says Ramesh Razdan. “It is remarkably easy to retire

legacy or custom applications, manage our data growth and application portfolio safely and efficiently, and ensure

the business has complete access to the data with Informatica Data Archive.”

When a business has acquired more than 40 software and services companies over the course of four years, there

are bound to be growing pains — especially when it comes to managing data. The time had come to consider

consolidating infrastructure by retiring the legacy applications and data associated with its acquisitions. It was

against this backdrop that EMC standardized on Informatica for its application retirement solution. Using the high

performanceandscalableInformaticaDataArchive,theinformationstoragecompanyhasembarkedonalong-

term application retirement strategy and anticipates saving up to hundreds of terabytes of storage and more than

$1 million resulting in a complete payback in less than a year.

Acquired More Than 40 Companies in Four YearsEMC has helped thousands of customers to introduce flexible, scalable and secure information infrastructures and, in

turn, release the power of their information. To strengthen EMC’s core business and extend its market to new areas, the

company has, over the past several years, acquired more than 40 software and services companies. This has presented

some formidable challenges when it comes to managing the exponential growth in the company’s data.

The acquisition of large organizations, like Legato Software, has contributed to this growth. As part of an over-

arching strategy to reduce costs, free up resources and improve overall efficiency, the company’s IT organization

turned to Informatica and its data archive platform to retire and decommission the redundant legacy Legato

infrastructure and Oracle Applications instances. The goal was to retire approximately 21 Oracle E-Business Suite

and custom applications.

Safely and Easily Archive Oracle DataEMC’sreadinesstouseInformaticaDataArchivewasbasedonthefact thecompany’sITteamcouldsafelyand

easily archive its data — including master, reference and transactional data — and then have its business users

continue to access it at any point in the future. EMC kicked off the project by retiring its largest Oracle E-Business

Suite 11.5.8 modules, including Accounts Receivable, General Ledger and Inventory.

EMC leveraged Informatica’s data model discovery capability and pre-built accelerators for Oracle E-Business Suite

to accelerate the project timeline. The combination of mined and pre-built application metadata allowed Informatica

DataArchivetorelocatecompletetransactionsand,inthecaseofEMC,retiretheentireapplicationdatainamatter

of three days.

The data was archived to the EMC Centera, a content addressable storage (CAS) archival storage system. Once

archived, data was discoverable using Informatica’s data discovery portal, which allows retired data to be viewed

from an application-independent interface while providing the original Oracle E-Business Suite application user

interfacelookandfeel.Additionally,anoverall20:1datacompressionratiointheoptimizedfilearchiveformat

was achieved.

“We are very impressed by the flexibility and rich functionality of the Informatica solution,”saysDavidAtkins,fromthe

Oracle Global Solutions Group, EMC. “Retired application data is stored in a highly compressed immutable file archive

format, which significantly reduces the size of the data. Despite this, data can still be easily accessed through the data

discovery portal for searching and browsing and using any third party reporting or Business Intelligence tools.”

“Over the next few years, we expect to save

up to hundreds of terabytes of storage, one

million dollars, and improve IT efficiency

by removing redundant applications

accumulated through acquisition and

decommissioning legacy systems that are

no longer vital to the business. As a result,

Informatica allows us to free up valuable

IT personnel to focus on higher value

activities,” Ramesh Razdan explains. “It will

also result in a complete payback on the

Informatica investment within six months.”

The retirement enabled EMC to safely decommission

legacy applications while guaranteeing transactional and

referential integrity with easy access to archived data. Software

maintenance costs were eliminated and previously allocated

servers and storage was repurposed to more business-

critical IT projects. Finally, the solution significantly boosted

staff efficiency and reduced time and resources devoted to

application maintenance tasks.

Tulane University Partners with IT Convergence for a Record-Speed Upgrade

Founded in 1834, Tulane is one of the most highly regarded and selective independent research universities in the

United States and offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in liberal arts, science and engineering,

architecture, business, law, social work, medicine and public health, and tropical medicine.

Tulane University had a big goal — to upgrade its Oracle Financials

solutions to Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Release 12.1.3 in only

five months. Normally, this kind of proposal would be quite an

endeavor,sincetheprojectrequiredadvancedplanning.However,IT

Convergence (ITC) completed the project in three months — ahead of

schedule and under budget.

Tulane had previously partnered with IT Convergence in 2005 during the hurricane Katrina crisis for temporary

hosting and managed services, so they knew of ITC’s expertise in Oracle. In 2011, ITC offered Tulane an integral

solution:tofirstupgradeitschartofaccountsandthenproceedwiththeOracleEBSR12upgrade.TheITCteam

worked closely with Tulane University’s CTO and vice president of finance to make this project a success.

As part of the project, the ITC’s Nearshore Development team reviewed several hundred RICE components to

make sure they were successfully upgraded to Oracle R12 and had full functionality. This was made possible by the

development team’s ability to match U.S. working hours and to be readily available when needed.

Given the success of the Financials upgrade, Tulane called again upon ITC to deliver a fresh implementation of

OAUG Ambassadors Enliven Robust and Diverse Users Community

When the OAUG Ambassador Program launched on February 1, 2012, the OAUG’s leadership hoped it would help

organizations realize a higher return on their OAUG membership investment. The program was developed to ensure

that each individual in a member organization is aware of and accessing the free resources available through the

OAUG website and the discounted education available at OAUG events.

As this issue of OAUG Buyer’s Guide was going to print, the OAUG was

pleasantly surprised that more than 430 individuals had volunteered to

act as their organization’s Ambassadors and more than 100 attended the

first-ever Ambassador Informational Meeting and Webinar on April 23

during COLLABORATE 12. Another 65 had distributed the quarterly Benefits

Reminder Email to their colleagues within days of receiving it to ensure

they were familiar with the latest-and-greatest free resources available

through their organization’s OAUG membership.

JimCollison,theOAUGAmbassadorforGallupTechnologies,attendedthefirst-everOAUGAmbassadorMeeting

during COLLABORATE 12. “The OAUG Ambassador Program has an incredible opportunity to change the way

individual organizations see the benefits of an OAUG membership as well as enhance the networking and mind

sharing that happens inside a company that has a strong ambassador. An ambassador can now play the role of

user group champion behind the corporate firewall and bring to light training and education sessions, as well as the

valueofsocialmediaofferings,thatmighthavebeenunderutilizedinthepast,”saidCollison.

OAUG Ambassadors are helping spread the word that an unlimited number of their organization’s employees have access

to OAUG resources once membership is set up, rather than each individual paying for benefits. Ambassadors also review

theirlistofemployeesintheOAUGMemberDatabasetoensureeveryonehasamemberlogin.Lastly,Ambassadors

ensure that their colleagues know how to access all of the free, online education using their member logins.

“OAUG Ambassadors have exceeded expectations from the beginning of this program, increasing the average number

ofparticipantswithactiveloginsfrom12to24perorganizationinlessthanthreemonths,”saidOAUGExecutive

DirectorStevenHughes.“WeexpecttheAmbassadorProgramtofurtherincreaseROIformemberorganizations

and result in a more robust and diverse community of Oracle Applications users and solution providers to enhance

user-lednetworkingandeducation.”

As a thank you for their participation, OAUG Ambassadors who attended COLLABORATE 12 received an Ambassador

flairfortheirconferencebadge,awristbandforspecialty“Rumbassador”and“Voluntini”cocktailsattheWednesday

Evening Reception and exclusive OAUG Ambassador temporary tattoos to show off their VIP status.

OAUG Ambassadors who fulfill their obligations throughout the year will also be entered into a drawing to win a full

conference pass to the OAUG event of their choice. In the meantime, the OAUG continues to provide Ambassadors

VIP treatment at all OAUG events and highlights on the OAUG website and in publications the work they do on

behalf of their organizations.
