WHEN IT’S TIME
Signs it’s time to upgrade or migrate
Your Oracle release is out of support
You’re missing patches, fixes and security updates on an old version.
The board wants to move to the cloud
Fusion Cloud or OCI is on the roadmap and you need a safe path.
Ageing on-premise infrastructure
Hardware and licensing costs are climbing and refresh is overdue.
Customisations have piled up
Years of changes make upgrades painful and need rationalising.
Performance and scale are slipping
The system struggles with today’s volumes, users and reporting.
New compliance or reporting demands
Regulatory, tax or audit needs require modern, supported Oracle.
What to expect
An assessment first
A clear read on your estate and the right, lowest-risk route.
Rehearsed cut-overs
Timed, tested switch-overs that keep the business running.
Hypercare after the move
We stabilise the new platform and hand over cleanly.
05 / BEFORE THE SWITCH
Confidence comes
from preparation.
Rehearsals, reconciliation and clear ownership help manage disruption. The cutover window and operational arrangements depend on your estate and chosen route.
A clear view of change
Document what to keep, replace or retire across customisations and interfaces.
Evidence behind the data
Validate migrated information against source records and review reconciliation results.
A rehearsed cutover
Use timed migration runs, testing and a coordinated transition plan.
Support after the move
Stabilise the target platform with hypercare and a structured handover.
06 / DECISION SUPPORT
Keep what works.
Revisit what holds you back.
UPGRADE IN PLACE
Continuity with
a planned upgrade.
Consider this route when the existing application serves the business well and the priority is updating the estate.
- Review release and technical prerequisites
- Assess retained customisations for compatibility
- Validate the upgraded business processes
RE-IMPLEMENT ON FUSION
A fresh application
foundation.
Consider this route when the business wants to review its processes and move to Fusion Cloud.
- Map requirements to the target processes
- Rationalise customisations and interfaces
- Plan data, adoption and the transition together
| Consideration | Upgrade in Place | Re-Implement on Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Update your existing Oracle | Fresh start on Fusion Cloud |
| Customisations | Largely retained | Reviewed and rationalised |
| Effort | Lower, more contained | Higher, more transformative |
| Innovation | Stay current and supported | Adopt modern, AI-ready features |
| Best fit when | Your setup works well | You want a clean, modern slate |
No universal answer — we recommend the path that gives you the most value for the least risk.

08 / COMMON QUESTIONS
Your move.
Clearer answers.
Should we upgrade EBS or move to Fusion?
Assess how well the current setup fits the business, the required changes and the dependencies. The recommendation follows that assessment rather than assuming one route fits every organisation.
Will the migration disrupt operations?
Testing, rehearsals and careful sequencing aim to reduce disruption. The required cutover window and continuity arrangements are established during planning.
What happens to our customisations?
They are inventoried and reviewed with your team to decide what to retain, replace or retire.
Can you move workloads to OCI?
Yes. OCI Re-Platforming is an available route for Oracle workloads and databases, subject to the target architecture and migration scope.
How is migrated data checked?
Data is validated and reconciled against the source as part of the migration and release-readiness process.
IN THEIR WORDS
“They assessed both routes honestly, then moved us to Fusion Cloud over a single weekend. The data reconciled to the penny and we were live on Monday with no drama.”
