Offering a defined level of quality, time and cost, this proprietary methodology provides clients much-needed peace of mind. The Apps 360 project methodology enables clients to clearly identify and streamline the processes that are available with Oracle Applications Release 11i.
Oracle’s E-Business Suite 11i equips companies with a comprehensive set of web-based business applications that are built on unified information architecture. The technology enables businesses to run at peak efficiency, connecting and automating front- and back-office business processes, equipping employees with current information, and dramatically reducing redundancies.
At e:solutions Group, we believe that upgrading to Oracle 11i should be a win-win situation. It should be quick, cost-effective, and tailored to meet your needs. e:solutions Group can efficiently migrate your systems so that you can focus on reaping the benefits of the technology.
With so many variables, you need assurance that your project will be run efficiently and be completed as planned. As part of the Apps 360 project methodology, the UPGRADExtra ToolKit takes the risk and uncertainty out of Oracle upgrades. The time-tested technology provides an innovative platform to streamline the entire Oracle Applications 11i upgrade process, so that you can rest assured that your project will be completed on time, and on budget -- all with predictable, proven results and immediate savings.
The UPGRADExtra ToolKit effectively unifies essential upgrade data into an Internet-accessible database. As a centralized, organized hub for all upgrade operations, it delivers a time-saving platform to plan, coordinate, monitor, and manage all technical and functional upgrade activities.
When utilized with the Apps 360 methodology, the UPGRADExtra ToolKit promotes more efficient use of technical and functional resources, and improves management planning and control of the upgrade process. Thanks to reduced duplication of effort, simplified access to required information, heightened communication, and improved management controls, the time and cost to upgrade become dramatically reduced.

Apps 360’s Customization Assessment provides companies the opportunity to clearly understand the skill-sets and re-development effort required to implement planned customizations.
Conducted by an experienced Apps 360 technical consultant, the Customization Assessment offers companies critical, cost-saving information regarding a planned upgrade to Oracle Release 11i. It clearly identifies required customizations, outlines the technical and procedural impacts of planned changes, and results in time- and cost-saving documentation templates, customization data, and re-development estimates.
An add-on module to Release 11i, Apps Central enables multi-national organizations to maximize their global operational efficiency. The technology is used by corporations such as Xerox, Tektronix, and Texas Instruments, and can be swiftly integrated to Oracle Applications without the need for customizations.
For corporations doing business with subsidiaries and sister companies worldwide, Apps Central provides a cost-effective solution to the challenge of integrating company-wide global accounting standards with individual legal compliance models—all customized by entity and country. In combination with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, Apps Central provides the critical legal and financial component to Oracle’s end-to-end supply chain management capabilities.
Apps Central dramatically enhances efficiency by allowing multi-national corporations to be operated as a single, unified company. It improves the operation of shared sales activities, enables activities such as centralized cash management, and eliminates restrictions on access and visibility for staff operating across the company’s subsidiaries and sister companies.
Shared services enabled by Apps Central include:
- Central order and inventory processing across entities
- Central back-office accounting functions across entities
- Central purchasing with local payables functions
- Central payables and receivables
- Central cash management
- Plus many other shared service configurations
Many multi-national corporations are forced to run separate accounts receivable and accounts payable ledgers for each of their subsidiaries. This expensive and time-consuming process requires a period-end close procedure to be performed and reconciled separately for each of the company’s operating units.
Apps Central enables multi-national corporations to select the optimal enterprise resource planning configuration to efficiently operate divisions, subsidiaries and sister companies within the global organization. Groups of companies can be combined into a single organizational structure with a single accounts receivable and accounts payable ledger. Apps Central provides a fully automatic process that can be applied to company-wide receivables, payables and inventory, providing additional flexibility in accounting practice and price control.
This inter-company accounting engine enables:
- Self-reconciling cross-company transactions
- Production of a single period end
- Automatic generation of balanced cross-book transactions for whatever method companies conduct business
- Elimination of duplicate efforts
Apps Central enables companies operating Oracle Applications in a multi-national environment to achieve legal and statutory compliance in terms of receivables, taxation, and customs, without the effort and complication of running separate operating units for each regional jurisdiction.
Apps Central provides extensive functionality to produce general ledger journal entries to one or multiple “legal” books. In addition, Apps Central is not limited to Oracle application interactions, and can easily interact with other boundary systems such as SAP, shipping systems, customer management, and service/repair systems.
Apps Central enables U.S.-based multi-national corporations to efficiently improve ongoing compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.This recently enacted law requires companies to undertake disclosure controls and procedures for the effective reporting of material information affecting a company. Apps Central provides the necessary tools to set up and enforce company-wide accounting rules across all foreign subsidiaries and ensure automatic reconciliation.
