Whether you’re preparing for an interview or planning your next move in Oracle—you must understand the types of Oracle projects and their real-world relevance.
Types of Oracle Projects – Explained with Business Examples 👇
1️.Implementation of Project à Oracle follows Application Implementation Method (AIM) or Oracle Unified Methodology (OUM).
↳ A fresh Oracle system is built from the scratch using AIM/OUM.
↳ Oracle lifecycle: Definition(Business requirements) → Operations Analysis(Current processes) → Solution Design (Future processes)→ Build (Configure and develop)à Transition (Deploy and train)à Production (go-live).
📍 Example: If a Company goes live with Oracle EBS/Oracle Fusion Cloud to manage their Products, Orders, Payments, etc.
2.Supporting the Project(Post-Go-Live Support)
↳ Hypercare (0-30 Days After Go-Live) – 24/7 Support (Critical issue resolution) à Daily Check-ins(Monitor system performance and getting daily feedback) à Quick Fixes (Addressing bugs or configuration errors).
↳ Help Desk Operations (L1 Support: Basic troubleshooting (password resets, navigation help).
(L2 Support: Technical issues (reports, workflows, integrations).
(L3 Support: Escalation to Oracle Support (SRs via My Oracle Support).
📍 Example: A company outsources its Oracle Finance module support.
3.Upgrade Project
↳ If it’s a technical upgrade (e.g., Oracle Database 19c → 23c) or functional upgrade (e.g., EBS 12.1 R → 12.2 R). Document business drivers (security, performance, compliance, new features). Final backup of databases and applications. Notify users of planned downtime.
↳ Existing customizations, integrations, and reports. Apply post-upgrade patches, validate critical functionalities, Smoke test key business processes, Deploy tested environment to production, and Monitor system stability post-go live.
📍 Example: Oracle Upgrade Documentation (My Oracle Support)
Oracle Upgrade Assistant (for DB upgrades)
4️. Rollout Project
↳ planning and executing an Oracle software rollout project, whether you’re implementing new Oracle modules, upgrading existing systems, or migrating to cloud solutions..
↳ Establish Governance
- Form steering committee
- Assign project roles (sponsor, manager, functional/technical leads)
- Define decision-making processes
📍 Example: A German HQ rolls out its Oracle setup to plants in Brazil and India.
5.Enhancement Project
↳ A structured approach for implementing enhancements to existing Oracle systems (EBS, Fusion, Cloud, Database) to improve functionality, performance, or user experience for webpages development, new reports generation, integrations.
↳ In the context of Oracle E-Business Suite, CEMLI stands for Configuration, Extension, Modification, Localization, and Integration.
📍 Example: A retail firm develops a custom dashboard for real-time store sales.
6.Migration Project
↳ Migrating Oracle systems—whether upgrading versions, moving to the cloud (OCI, Oracle Fusion), or transitioning from on-premise to hybrid/cloud environments..
↳ Why migrate? (Cost reduction, scalability, end-of-support, cloud adoption).
📍 Example: A newly acquired firm migrates its Oracle EBS to 12.1 R → 12.2 R.
