Data Management Products for Oracle E-Business Suite, Fusion & Cloud Applications

CHAIN SYS

Data migration done in the traditional way, writing your own conversion programs, is a painful and expensive proposition. Conversion programs don’t get ready before approximately six months into the project, pushing the exercise of examining data for correctness and standardization too close to the Go-Live date. Data quality issues do not get the needed attention.

Field proven appMIGRATE provides instant relief for data migration challenges. Being a product with ready to use configurable templates with no need for programming, appMIGRATE allows Business Users to see production data in the target Oracle instance as early as the first test cycle. It gives them ample time to correct, clean, consolidate, standardize and harmonize their data. The tool plays well with agile methodology. Data risks are identified early in the project and solutions made ready and applied.

“Data Conversion was a big part of enabling our successful milestone, ‘System Integration Testing’. Chain-Sys overcame many challenges, shortened the conversion cycle and completed conversions on time.”

“appMIGRATE performs data profiling on the source data to reduce the data volume and explore data quality issues. Data profiling is done with the extracted data against the target Oracle applications Reference data and Setup data dependencies with predefined rules. Business process verification is another highlight. Data profiling engine is also used for on-going ERP wellness activities”

Profiling source data improves data quality and reduces data quantity. Profiling the extracted data against the target reference data and business logic is built inside the appMIGRATE tool. Each Template comes packed with hundreds of pre-validations.

appMIGRATE helps investigate if existing data can be used for other purposes.

Improves the ability to search the data by tagging it with keywords, descriptions or assigning categories.

Allows assessment of risk involved in integrating data for new applications, including the challenges of joins.

Helps understanding data challenges early in any data intensive project, so that late project surprises are avoided. Finding data problems late in the project can lead to delays and cost overruns.

Provides enterprise view of all data, for uses such as Master Data Management where key data is needed, or Data Governance for improving data quality.

“For a large document management company we reduced Item Master data size to about 5% of the original size.”

“DQM is a prime mover of any successful Data Migration project. It is a mandatory process and cannot be wished away.”

appMIGRATE provides extensive features and functions for Data Quality needs of Data Migration projects. The major features offered include:

Data Quality Management

appMIGRATE Data Migration process specifies Data Quality Management activities as “Mandatory” for all Data Migration projects. The DQM activity is generally carried out in the early phase of the project and it is a precursor to Data Migration activities. The appMIGRATE tool has powerful features to collect high volume of master data into its data mart for performing DQM activities. It uses consolidation algorithms along with Hadoop technology to identify the matches and no matches for the collected data. Provides a good user experience in classifying the matches into “false positives” or “false negatives”. When the user merges the matching records, individual values can be copied from one to another. Using “Merge” activity, data gets harmonized using data cross references.

DATA INTERFACING

The landscape of Enterprise Applications is undergoing rapid change. Many business functions are being moved to the cloud. Businesses are picking and choosing specialized modules from multiple software vendors. With applications spread out on premise and cloud, there arises a great need to orchestrate these applications to enable smooth business operations and insight. Companies are challenged by and overwhelmed with coexistence and integration needs. The touch points in the cloud and on premise applications offer vary greatly, and a lot of effort is needed to tame them. Gone are the days of writing glue software. The minimal demand of the industry is a “no programming” paradigm interface solution and a common integration platform. Further any integration solution is expected to support current needs and to scale up to future growth and functionalities. Needless to say that the solution needs to be fast and cost effective.

Field proven appINTERFACE powered by appPLATFORM cloud solution is the right product for your integration and interfacing needs. appINTERFACE Cloud solutions offer 360 degree integration coverage for on Premise, Cloud and Mobile Applications, with appPLATFORM anchoring as the common platform. Coding is not needed to perform simple to complex integration flows with multiple touch points. appPLATFORM provides a configurable workflow which uses the predefined ready to use adapters/templates/web services available for Oracle’s on Premise, Cloud and Mobile Applications.

DATA INTERFACING

Data Coexistence

Enterprises do not adopt simultaneous “big bang” Go Live into a single Oracle system from all their geographies and divisions. In a phased approach, existing data interfaces cannot be interrupted for the legacy systems, when feeder systems have already been migrated over. appINTERFACE Module fits the bill for quick interface building between systems, both batch and real time.

During Oracle Implementations, appINTERFACE is used for building the integrations which are needed for the coexistence of the old and the new applications. The appMIGRATE Extract and Load Adapters are reused for the coexistence tasks.

Some of the Applications amongst whom data interfaces were rapidly built using appINTERFACE: Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, R12, Oracle Fusion CRM, Oracle HCM Cloud, Oracle Financials Cloud, Peoplesoft, Siebel, Steelwedge, SAP R/3, SAP ECC6, Salesforce etc. Cloud based systems were interfaced with as much ease as on premise systems.

“Major Japanese consumer electronics firm’s European Division built over 200 Coexistence integration objects using appINTERFACE and saved over 70% in cost and time. The integrations were built in record times where the traditional ETL approaches had failed.”

appINTERFACETM

Adapters/Templates

Data Maintenance Approach:

DATA SECURITY

Data Security

If your company is running Oracle HR, Payroll or Oracle Financials, you know what kind of sensitive information it contains. You also know how catastrophic it would be for your employees or your customers if the data fell into unauthorized hands. That’s why you need appSILHOUETTE™ software to mitigate against internal data loss.

appSILHOUETTE™ software uses an application intuitive scrambling technology that ensures that the protection and referential integrity of the sensitive personnel and financial data in your non production environments remains usable and intact. appSILHOUETTE™ is able to maintain this data integrity without going directly against the database when updating and concealing the sensitive information.

Businesses today are more security conscious than ever before, especially with over 160 million data records exposed since February 2005. With the most vulnerable records holding human resource, payroll and financial information, it is incumbent on IT, Human Resource and Privacy professionals to mange this sensitive data responsibly and respectfully.
