Overview

With rapid initial deployment and ongoing upgrade cycles, Oracle Cloud applications are

not static and should be able to adjust to your organization’s ever changing ecosystem

and requirements. Once initial implementations are completed, efforts should be made

to extend and optimize the deployed functionality. While large post production initiatives

are usually treated as projects, smaller changes often don’t always justify a large project

or maintenance organization. In all these instances, your organization still wants to

implement these changes efficiently, without error, and in a timely manner.

In order to help you manage these ongoing enhancement and adoption activities,

Oracle Consulting offers a comprehensive portfolio of Value Acceleration Services for

Oracle Cloud. These post production services typically initiate shortly before the first go-

live for knowledge transfer and transition activities, and continue as needed to enable

functionality and processes to help achieve your organization’s business goals.
