Migrating from legacy Oracle systems like E-Business Suite to Oracle Fusion Cloud can unlock tremendous agility, but it’s far from a plug-and-play experience.
Here are 6 common pitfalls we see organisations stumble into, along with how we at eAppSys help them get it right.
1. Assuming a Like-for-Like Migration Will Work
“Let’s replicate what we had in EBS, just on the cloud.”
Why it’s a gotcha:
Fusion Cloud has adifferent architecture, design principles, and best practices. Attempting to re-create legacy customisations leads to complexity, cost, and missed opportunities.
How eAppSys helps:
We run fit-gap and design optimisation workshops to help clients rethink processes for the cloud, not just mimic the past.
2. Underestimating Data Migration Complexity
“We’ll just extract, transform, and load the data.”
Why it’s a gotcha:
Data must conform tonew structures, validation rules, and cloud constraints. Dirty, unstructured, or bloated legacy data often breaks the process.
How eAppSys helps:
Our data migration accelerator DMOne™ Cloud automates cleansing, transformation, and validation — while ensuring regulatory integrity and traceability.
3. Customisation Expectations Don’t Match SaaS Reality
“Let’s just rebuild all our old reports and workflows.”
Why it’s a gotcha:
SaaS limits customisation to preserve upgradeability. Legacy extensions need to be reimagined assafe configurations or API-based add-ons.
How eAppSys helps:
We guide you throughlow-code extensibility (e.g., VBCS, APEX), REST integrations, and middleware (OIC) to build scalable solutions.
4. Neglecting Testing & Change Management
“The sandbox worked—should be good to go!”
Why it’s a gotcha:
Oracle Cloud is updated every quarter. Without proper testing frameworks and user readiness, breakage is inevitable.
How eAppSys helps:
We implement test automation, scenario-based regression plans, and personalised training for smoother adoption and ongoing success.
5. Focusing on Go-Live, Not Long-Term Optimisation
“Once we’re live, the project is done.”
Why it’s a gotcha:
Real ROI happens after go-live — through process refinement, release adoption, and optimisation.
How eAppSys helps:
We offer post-go-live optimisation services, COE setup, and continuous innovation support so you stay ahead of the curve.
6. Lacking Audit & Traceability of Cloud Configurations
“We’ll track changes manually or hope the system logs are enough.”
Why it’s a gotcha:
Enterprise Cloud Systems relies heavily on configurations. Yet most teams have zero visibility into who changed what, when, or why — exposing them to compliance risk, audit failures, and rework.
How eAppSys helps:
We’ve built ConfigIQ, a powerful platform that:
- Tracks all configuration changes in Oracle Fusion Cloud
- Highlights un-authorised or risky changes
- Supports pre-go-live snapshot comparisons
- Helps internal and external auditors with clear traceability reports
Whether you’re aiming for compliance, better change control, or smarter decision-making, ConfigIQ gives you confidence in your cloud setup.
Moving to Oracle Cloud isn’t just technical, it is transformational.
At eAppSys, we’ve guided dozens of clients through these challenges, combining deep Oracle expertise with modern accelerators like DMOne™, ConfigIQ, DevOps Code Migrator & other automation frameworks along with change-ready design.
