EBS to Fusion programs fail early when readiness is reduced to a licensing and feature checklist. Real readiness includes process complexity, extension dependency, integration impact, and organizational operating model changes.
1. Process and Customization Fit
- Map high-variance business processes that rely on custom EBS behavior.
- Classify customizations into retire, replace, reimplement, or integrate categories.
- Identify approval and exception flows that cannot lose business context in transition.
2. Integration and Reporting Impact
- Inventory all upstream and downstream integrations by criticality.
- Assess API and interface redesign effort for OIC or alternate middleware patterns.
- Evaluate reporting replacements where EBS custom reports are business-critical.
3. Data and Cutover Readiness
- Establish data quality baseline and remediation ownership before migration cycles.
- Define mock conversion rehearsals and measurable cutover success criteria.
- Document post-go-live hypercare model before final transition decisions.
A readiness assessment should end with a phased roadmap, risk register, and decision points that leadership can use with confidence.
