[Editor:  This guest article has been contributed by Anne Carlson] Premier Support for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i ends in November 2010.  At Oracle OpenWorld last fall, it was standing room only at several EBS upgrade sessions.  Responding to the increased interest in upgrades, I set to work on a new Release 12.1 version of our popular whitepaper, Best Practices for Adopting E-Business Suite, Release 12 (Note 580299.1). Here is that new whitepaper, which features the latest Release 12.1 upgrade planning advice from Oracle’s Support, Consulting, Development and IT organizations: The paper is directed at IT professionals who are planning, managing, or running a Release 12.1 upgrade project.  After briefly reviewing the Release 12.1 value proposition, the paper launches into specific upgrade planning tips to help you: Understand the factors that can affect your project’s duration
  • Decide your project scope, and avoid missteps that can needlessly increase your scope
  • Assemble the right project team
  • Develop a robust testing strategy
  • Leverage all of the Oracle Support resources available to you
  • Identify the Oracle tools that can improve your upgrade and maintenance experience
  • Become familiar with the full range of Oracle’s information resources
