- Enabling focus on their core business, not IT.
- Improved performance and availability.
- Reduced costs.
Business Requirements
OCI provides the best utilization for both usability and performance growth for a rapidly expanding company like Essilor. In summary, OCI is the ideal environment for enterprise-class workloads such as Oracle Database and Oracle’s solutions.

- Application validation and Integration validation for Oracle EBS, OBIEE.
- Create documentation and update all existing scripts to point to the new sources.
- Performance testing compared to OMCS Oracle benchmark.
- System Connectivity from VPN and the organization’s network.
- End-to-end process validation with data and metadata refresh from Oracle EBS and OBIEE.
- ODI Jobs and Package validation, and execute the entire month and daily process once before go-live.
- Data testing.
- Provide Support to business users while performing the UAT.
- Provide Support after going live for one week.
