Tips for managing Oracle EBS Applications

Efficiency and time are crucial factors in business. This, coupled with the need for increased efficiency and increased employee productivity, where they are expected to often perform above expectations, is the norm.

Time cannot be added; however, various tools are available to business to ensure more effective operational efficiencies, including that of valuable employees.

Tommy Erlank, Enterprise Application Management at Blue Turtle Technologies, comments: “The constant requirement of business to perform efficiently with maximum output and against stringent timelines sees companies constantly investigate avenues to enhance the management of their applications. Blue Turtle Technologies, through its partnership with Unitask Software, shows how IT departments running Oracle Enterprise Applications are able to manage these applications effectively and efficiently while significantly reducing the time to manage the applications.”

The three most pertinent include:

Code migrations and object promotions are necessary in maintaining and updating Oracle Enterprise Applications. Moving code manually or by using custom scripts often results in errors that can be quite costly and require more time to fix.

Unitask Migration Director saves a significant amount of time by automating the preview, packaging and promotion of code in Oracle Applications. By eliminating the use of custom scripts that vary from developer to developer, Migration Director allows IT teams to stay in compliance with company or industry standards and makes object promotion a completely error free task. It further creates documentation of each change, saving developers time and keeping you compliant.

And should the code not act as expected, Migration Director allows you to automatically roll-back your changes to a previous state without impacting your applications. By automating the Oracle EBS code migration process, developers gain valuable time.

Manually setting up printers are often exceptionally laborious tasks, even when outsourced, and often does not minimise the pains experienced.

Managing end-user requirements for both printers and the output associated can be exceptionally time-consuming. However, Unitask Output Director automates the entire process.

Output Director is designed to streamline the printer set-up and management process in a couple of hours. No time delays during downtime or a backlog in business intelligence reporting due to the inability to print, fax, e-mail or store reports.

With the ongoing threats of data breaches, hacktivists and misuse of data by company employees, securing sensitive data is an absolutely essential element of managing enterprise applications today. And while large amounts of money and time are dedicated to keeping out unwanted threats to live company data, very little time and attention is paid to the internal database “clones” that exist in every IT environment.

Unitask Security Director allows you to scramble non-production sensitive data fields. With its automated data scrambling feature, Security Director significantly reduces the time associated with securing non-production data. Security Director automatically scrambles known sensitive data fields in all Oracle EBS modules or custom fields to secure data. The automated process provides substantially more time for IT teams to focus on the tasks at hand.

“Through automating some of the processes within the Oracle EBS Applications, you will realise a time and cost reduction, and an increase in efficiency and productivity,” concludes Erlank.
