High-level implementation consulting, first of all, relies on structured implementation methodology and deep knowledge of the consultants in the subject area. Within implementation consulting services, launch of Management Information system into production is organized as a project with clear hierarchy of tasks, defined project phases, documentation for all final and interim results. Proven implementation methodology guarantees success of the Management Information system implementation project.

Strict adherence to methodology becomes even more important for implementation of integrated corporate-wide Management Information systems like Oracle E-Business Suite. Moreover, business processes of an enterprise often have to be changed to correspond to the best practice business processes built in the software product. In these circumstances success of the project largely depends on the level of ualification of consultants and their experience.

Consulting group Borlas is the largest Oracle partner and it posesses the biggest team of experienced Oracle e-Business Suite consultants in Russia and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). By present time Borlas specialists have delivered more than 50 Oracle E-Business Suite implementation projects.

In addition to general Project Management methodology (PJM) used to carefully manage the whole project, the following specific Oracle's methodologies are used by Borlas specialists for implementation of Oracle products: AIM and  AIM for Business Flows.

AIM methodology - classic methodology, based on work with the current and future business processes, collection of the customer's requirements to all steps of business processes, search for optimal solution.

AIM for Business Flows methodology, recenlty created, was already used by consultants of Borlas. Several projects of implementation of corporate-wide Management Information systems based on Oracle e-Business Suite were successfully delivered, including one project within Borlas Consulting group itself. 

Advantages of AIM for BF methodology are as follows:

• Use of standard business flows which address several business processes. For example, 'Requisition to Pay' flow will include all the necessary steps: creation of requisiotion, production planning, production execution, shipment of finished good, invoicing and payments.
• Within the implementation, the connected business flows with the single goal are completely covered - from the originating event to the final event.
• Implementation is focused on the goals and tasks of an enterprise while benefiting from the pre-setup flows, built on the best business practises, accumulated by the leading companies worldwide.
• Company specialists doesn't spend their time on documenting business flows. Instead, they concentrate on the testing of adopting pre-setup business flows to the pecularities of company's business.
• Use of iterative approaching to match prototype flows with the needs of an enterprise thru several testing sessions
• Use of pre-seeded end-user templates (almost completed) descreases implementation time

Deciding point for a successful implementation is a high qualification and experience of consultants, that help Client's specialists and ensure necessary knowledge transfer. This is especially important in the beginning of the project, when specialists of a company should learn the new information system, it's capabilities and principles of work, the way it deliver the business requirements, implementation methodology. Extensive experience of Borlas Consulting group consultants allows us to effectively work with Client's employees, that largely determines the successful results of a project.
