| Enterprise Application Implementation |
CTE offers comprehensive processes and
services to implement, configure and customize Oracle
enterprise application and PeopleSoft
packages. We believe that a successful application implementation
results in the effective optimization of business processes,
improved business performance, and a healthy return on
investment.
CTE has extensive expertise in implementation, upgrading,
and maintenance of Oracle applications for Big 4, medium,
and smaller consulting firms and we have a solid commitment
to working with midsize firms and units. We are an Oracle
Certified Solution Partner specializing in Oracle Process
Manufacturing and Oracle Financials. We are also an authorized
implementer for Oracle's online services. We are the leading
implementer of Oracle for process manufacturing companies
in verticals such as life sciences, healthcare, chemical,
food, paper, rolled goods, metals, and mining and minerals.
CTE offers a comprehensive Oracle ERP package for process
manufacturing companies that includes design-specific
Oracle process modules for production, costing, quality,
recipe management, and product development. These modules
provide a powerful solution for process manufacturing
companies when used in tandem with Oracle’s vast
suite of common modules, such as Financials, Order Management,
and Purchasing.
CTE has specific expertise in the following Oracle
applications:
• Financials
• Order Management
• Oracle Projects
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Purchasing
• Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
• EDI Gateway
• Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM)
• Oracle Discrete Manufacturing
• Oracle Accelerators

Our Methodology
Successful implementations have a number of common
components. The key components are consultants that have
strong product knowledge working with client personnel
who understand their business and are open to new ways
of doing business and consultants with knowledge of specific
industries and experience utilizing industry-specific
templates and tools.
Implementations can be done faster, cheaper, and more
effectively when additional components are added to the
mix. CTE utilizes two primary methodologies: Oracle’s
Standard AIM, which was developed by Oracle specifically
for the implementation of the Oracle e-Business Suite;
and CTE's Safe Step Methodology, which was designed by
CTE for the implementation of the Oracle e-Business Suite
in midsized process manufacturing companies. Safe Step
utilizes many of the AIM components, but deviates when
called for by the specific and unique needs of our clients.

Upgrade
Capabilities
All companies that use the Oracle e-Business suite will
want to upgrade at some point. There are minor upgrades
that may have little effect on the business and then there
are major upgrades that can approach an implementation
in terms of their complexity. Some process manufacturing
companies have needed to upgrade from Datalogix or Oracle
Gemms to current releases of Oracle. Frequently, in these
situations it is better to re-implement than to upgrade.

Oracle On Demand
CTE was the first company to implement Oracle on Demand
for process manufacturers using the OPM suite of products.
Oracle has recognized CTE as an authorized partner, qualified
to implement Oracle on Demand.

Development
CTE provides some of the most highly experienced OPM and
Oracle Apps development resources available. Due to our
vast experience with Oracle in process manufacturing we
have development people who are experts on the OPM data
model. This is a unique skill set that we combine with
our experience on the other Oracle applications and with
our utilization of offshore resources to provide our process
manufacturing customers with a cost-effective, high-quality
development model.
Our development model utilizes US-based development personnel
in conjunction with offshore resources. The US-based team
drives the specification process and coordinates with
the offshore team during the build phase. The US team
manages the design, build, and testing and is responsible
for the quality of the finished product. |
