KBACE :: Acquisitions and Divestitures Expertise
Acquisitions & Divestitures

The process of integrating a new acquisition into, or divesting a subsidiary or division out of your E-Business Suite environment is no small task. In fact, this effort is often underestimated resulting in additional costs beyond what was contemplated with the transaction.

There are a myriad of activities required to complete your acquisition or divestiture, many of which require the participation of common resources, all while you still perform daily business functions. And the timelines for these projects are always short. Many times, the acquiring company does not realize the entire value of absorbing an organization running the Oracle E-Business Suite. The acquired platform can enhance existing business processes including consolidations, reporting, and demand planning.

KBACE has assisted 10 E-Business Suite (EBS) customers in the last 3 years on acquisition and/or divestiture side of the equation. We provide expertise to address each major consideration including:

Platform Architecture:

  • Designing changes to accommodate higher volumes, new applications, internet facing applications, and integration with non-EBS systems. Designs typically incorporate system reliability, availability, performance, and disaster recovery.

Business Process Architecture:

  • Incorporating or adopting new business processes within the EBS environment. Processes typically require adding to the application configuration, blending rules for auto-accounting, account generation, and approvals, and developing processes for managing your master data including Customers, Suppliers, Items and Employees.

Data Management:

  • Converting data into your EBS environment for your new acquisition. Extracting and terminating data for your divestiture in a manner that avoids issues with stalled workflows, incomplete transactions, and ‘orphaned’ data that creates inaccuracies with your reports and business intelligence systems.

Cut-over Planning & Execution:

  • Developing and executing the cut-over plans to migrate master and transactional data, reconciliation of data, termination and commencement of transaction processing, all typically performed around the clock on cut-over weekend.

Post-Production Support:

  • Providing 24x7 functional and technical support during the ‘break-in’ period after cut-over.

If you are planning a major change to your business, or are about to execute one, call an expert, call KBACE. Our experience can be yours.
