The Opportunity
Many organizations with Oracle E-Business Suite need to make customizations to meet their business requirements. Deploying these changes in test and production environments can be tedious, error prone, and time consuming due to the nature and complexity of the change process. Additionally, many are using manual approaches to tracking, managing, and documenting these customizations, which is resource-intensive and ineffective.
The Solution
FlexDeploy streamlines the deployment process of E-Business Suite changes by applying automation, best practices, and DevOps techniques. It allows users more visibility into and control over the change process through controls, automation, and reporting capabilities.
Traditional EBS Deployment Challenges
Manual and scripted process are time-consuming and the “human factor” leads to potential errors | |

Lack of consistent version control | |
Testing environments do not match production | |
Multiple object types, each with their own deployment approach | |
Concurrent project development in shared environments | |
Complexity to automate leads to slower software delivery |
