Introduction

Ask yourself these questions about your Oracle Procurement Implementation:

• Are we realising all the business benefits that we expected from our implementation of Oracle Procurement?
• Are there ongoing issues which prevent us from being confident with our Procure-to-Pay processes?
• Are we using the most efficient business processes for the software?
• Are we using all of the functionality that we could?
• Do we know how to effectively use what we already have?
• Do we know what other functionality could be leverage within the applications to improve our business processes?
• Would an upgrade to a later release give us any benefits?
• Can we safely upgrade or extend the existing Procurement application modules?
• How can we get reliable answers to these questions?
• Do we have suitable, accurate and intelligent reporting of our Procurement data?

Projected Consulting firmly believe that we can help you get clear answers to these questions through our fixed price Oracle Procurement Health Check service. Projected Consulting have a team of subject matter experts who have vast experience with working on Oracle Procurement application implementations.

Service Overview

Implementation Approach

Orientation: During orientation, Projected Procurement consultants sit down with you and your staff to get the background to the current installation and the issues and challenges you face. This is essentially a short "scene-setting" exercise and defines your major areas of concern.

Discovery: Our consultants then carry out a functional review of the major business processes and the related Oracle Procurement application implementation configuration. This discovery phase seeks to identify any additional related issues, "pain points" and bottlenecks. Our team will then seek out the root cause in implementation terms of all issues.

Gap Analysis: We can then compare the existing applications configuration with the desired business processes and identify any gaps between the two. These gaps are the main obstacles to realising the full benefit and potential that could be enjoyed by the use of Oracle Procurement.

Report: In this last phase we produce an outline time-phased road map showing what steps need to be taken to eliminate or significantly close the gaps, highlighting those areas where the greatest benefit may be achieved. The steps required may include:

• Configuration changes
• Amendments to business processes
• Use of additional modules
• Additional training
• Use of complementary Oracle or third-party products
• Increased and enhanced reporting 

Business Processes and Application Modules

Our Procurement consultants have the skills to examine during in a health check, the use of any of the Oracle Procurement application modules listed below:

• Purchasing
