*For best view enlarge to 150% of normal view* OASIS Methodology

A p p l i c a t i o n s KPIT Cummins Oracle Applications implementation methodology is ISO 9001 certified

and assessed at SEI CMM Level 5. The methodology has been extensively used on the KPIT Cummins OASIS Methodology
projects executed by KPIT Cummins and has been refined over time. Our Process
Improvement Process ensures that the OASIS methodology is upgraded regularly to
incorporate the learning from the projects we execute.

OASIS is a methodology developed by KPIT Cummins and embodies: The main steps in OASIS are

• Quality • Preliminary Study

The methodology and processes of Oracle Applications implementations are ISO 9001 • Requirement Analysis
certified and assessed at SEI CMM Level 5. Our learnings from over 30 projects have • GAP Analysis
been incorporated into OASIS making it, a robust and proven methodology. • Conference Room Pilot (CRP)
• User Training and User acceptance Test
• Content • Production Setup
Pre-built document formats-templates, data migration interfaces, etc. developed over • Hand Over
time and tested on multiple projects.

• Flexibility
The issues, concerns and specific requirements of each project require the
methodology to be flexible enough without loss of controls. Our OASIS methodology has
been designed keeping these requirements in time and perfected through practice. Be
it module-by-module implementations, big-bang implementations or combinations in
between, the methodology has been tried and proven in a variety of situations
successfully.

• Delivery tools
O r a c l e

Project Management & tracking using MS Project, communication & review

•
mechanisms, escalation mechanisms, version control using MS VSS, etc. Expertise on
Autosys, Appworx and Kintana Object Migrator gives us that extra advantage for large
multi-location sites.

• People
Experienced consultants, working side by side with client team members, to provide
hands-on validation of the system, training, and knowledge transfer throughout the
implementation process. The Oracle Applications Implementations Methodology
