We have openings in November and December to work on Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessments and First Pass Upgrades. So if you're ready to upgrade to Release 12, look us up! 

 

We have four classes coming up soon that are filling up quickly - don't miss your chance to attend:

If you have 5 or more people interested in a class, we can also bring classes to your company if you would like onsite training. And if you've wanted to take a training class, but were intimidated by the crowds, we also offer "Personal Training" for certain classes, as well as online training.

Assessments, First Pass Upgrades, Books, Classes, Consultants... What Haven't We Got?

We've gone to a lot of effort coming up with an assortment of ways to help you get your Oracle E-Business Suite Environment upgraded to Release 12. Check out our offerings:

 

TruTek Release 11i Extended Support Mandatory Patching Assessment - Ugh. We'll read all those readmes, create the big spreadsheet, and map out what patches you need to apply to meet Oracle's Minimum Baseline Requirements for Release 11i Extended Support.

 

TruTek Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessment - We review your entire environment and prepare a report describing whether you're ready to upgrade to Release 12, and if not, what you need to do to get there.

 

TruTek Release 12 First Pass Upgrade - We come onsite with our books and our spreadsheets, and we work with your DBAs to run through a First Pass Upgrade from Release 11.5.10.2 to Release 12. At no time do we touch the keyboard - this is a hands on learning experience for your folks. We're just the guides who help make it happen. If there's time, we also include your functional leads in the prerequisite steps and post upgrade steps.

 

TruTek Release 12.1.3 Books - They say the technical part of the Release 12 upgrade is the easy part; it's the functional part that's hard. Check out our new Release 12.1.3 books, as we're mapping out the steps.

 

Release 12 New Features Classes - our functional consultants teach these classes, so they have plenty of hands on experience with the real issues.

 

Release 12 Consulting - Been there, done that. Give us a call if you'd like consulting from the Oracle Upgrade Experts.
