the customer technical team for further follow up, resolution and closure

Key Assumptions – Language & Locations
FIXED SCOPE
• The project execution will be done using an onsite-offshore mix model. Project
OFFERING FOR
ORACLE FUSION
delivery will be conducted with limited on-site visits. Most services will be

or ADFDi templates
• Partner will give clarifications of what data is required in what format in one of the meetings organized for

format requested after necessary validations and checks. The same data shall be loaded in test environment
and key users shall be responsible for sanity testing of the data
• Customer will assume the responsibility of mapping legacy system account codes with the Oracle account codes
