EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Implementing mission-critical applications is a complex
and highly challenging task. As a leading supplier and implementer
of business application solutions for companies all over
the world, Oracle has years of experience with thousands
of successful business application implementations. Oracle
understands that to successfully implement business applications
today, organizations must embrace a proven, structured method
to guide the implementation, manage risk, and
avoid missteps. Within this structured framework, however,
the method must be flexible enough for the implementation
effort to be tailored to the specific and unique needs of
the organization. Oracle’s Application Implementation
Method (AIM Advantage) is a proven, flexible and scalable
process and toolkit used by Oracle Consulting and Oracle’s
select implementation partners to successfully implement
Oracle E-Business Suite.

to plan, execute and control the implementation. It is the
only implementation method that is truly built for Oracle
E-Business Suite. From redesigning business processes to
production cutover, AIM Advantage encompasses all essential
project steps for minimizing risk and facilitating a fast,
high-quality implementation.
