1. Implementation methodology (AIM vs
ABF)
AIM methodology was very much requirements driven; where solution is
derived based on the requirements gathering during the project. From our
experience we went through different approach in the implementation; CRP
approach were we engage the business user from the beginning to go
through the future process which is build based on best practice. ORACLE
finally diverts their methodology to AIM for business ABF when
implementers suffered from the amount of customization needed after the fill
gap analysis practice. From our experience we found that customers always
ignore most of the customizations when they look at the complete process
flow. Our proven approach focuses on leading-practice Business Flows,
without customizations first; it addresses Business Flow Accelerators,
Adoption/ Learning services, and Architecture. EBATEK approach as
mentioned in the diagram below which is a series of workshops where “Flow
Teams” assigned to the implementation project goes through the business
flows iteratively during the project. The flows in a Flow Family are grouped
into logical “Flow Batches” that can be refined and tested in a series of
workshops conducted during a given CRP cycle. The Flow Families being
implemented are also tested in parallel by separate Flow Teams during the
CRP.
CRP’s
in ABF CRP in terms of ABF is a series of workshops where “Flow Teams”
assigned to the implementation project go through the business flows
iteratively during the project. The flows in a Flow Family are grouped into
logical “Flow Batches” that can be refined and tested in a series of
workshops conducted during a given CRP cycle. The Flow Families being
implemented are also tested in parallel by separate Flow Teams during the
CRP. Composition of a Flow Team will generally include at-least one
consultant, Business Process Owner, and some super or key users or
SME’s. The main objectives of the CRP are Familiarization, Initial mapping,
Refine Mapping, Validate COA, Multi-Org and TCA, Scope Freezing, and
Business System Test Key Deliverables in ABF BT.070
