Implementation Methodology
Oracle’s Unified Methodology (OUM)
(For Cloud Solutions Implementation)

OUM Cloud Application Services
Implementation Approach
 The OUM Cloud Approach is specifically designed for implementing Oracle

Cloud applications, according to well defined and tested activities and
deliverables; it is based on the same principles as Oracle’s Unified Method
(OUM) to allow consistent approach across all products.
 This approach consists of:

 An efficient approach to Oracle Cloud implementation
• An easy-to-follow framework of activities, for a step-by-step project
implementation centered around few and essential activities and
deliverables
• A Prototype approach based on Fusion Financial standard functionality:
customer’s processes are modeled according to Fusion best practice
business processes so that customizations are avoided
 The Oracle Cloud Delivery Toolkit with predefined, value-adding materials:
• Ready made materials to greatly reduce workload
• Best practice suggestions for all business decisions to be taken during
implementation

 Easy-to-follow framework for activities

 Short, well-structured implementation cycles
 Iterative configuration
 Up to four modules per release cycle
 Multiple releases are possible to accommodate
incremental scope and/or timeline decisions
