6. Data Conversion [CV]

Data Conversion is the process of converting or transferring the data from legacy system to oracle applications.
Ex. Transferring customer records from the legacy to the Customer Master.

7. Documentation [DO]

Documentation prepared per module that includes user guides and implementation manuals.

8. Business System Testing [TE]

A process of validating the setup's and functionality by QA(functional consultant) to certify status.

Performance testing is the evaluation of transactions saving time, transaction retrieval times, workflow background process, database performance, etc…

10. Adoption and Learning [AP]

This phase explains the removal of the legacy system and oracle application roll out enterprise wide.

11. Production Migration [PM]

The process of "decommissioning" of legacy system and the usage(adoption) of oracle application system.
