Editor's note
The latest offering from Oracle, EBS 12.2, includes support for online patching, mobile functionality and Endeca extensions, among other features.

But once they decide to make the change, ample planning is crucial.
Experienced users recommend creating a strategic organizational change management plan to ensure ERP projects go smoothly, with minimal business disruption and as much cooperation on the part of business users as possible. While the actual EBS upgrade may only take a few days, the planning stages can last for months or even years.
In this essential guide, learn what experts and experienced users have to say about key features of Oracle E-Business Suite applications, as well as common issues that arise during implementation and how to handle them.
