Architecture, Upgrades, and Migration

As the move towards Fusion-based architecture continues in the Oracle Applications arena, it introduces various challenges. Changing to an integrated architecture in a globally managed infrastructure provides greater manageability, but also requires careful planning. Rapid change means IT organizations can end up with a system architecture that does not meet the future needs of the business units as they add new applications, additional users, and as data expansion occurs. Multi-tier applications are being used to a larger degree and users are becoming more reliant upon the multiple server environments as well as the network infrastructure to provide high-performance data access.

KBACE's Architecture, Upgrade, and Migration Services will allow for a smooth transition from the current release to the new technologies-based paradigms. With this service, customers are enabled to do the following:

• Design the architecture layers and technical architecture
• Design the component levels for the applications, databases, and infrastructure
• Balance the contrasts between different application and technical architecture models
• Create initiatives to mitigate risks in implementation
• Identify and plan the elements of the upgrade process
• Assist in implementing the upgrade process
