Oracle Application Implementation Methodology (AIM)
comprises of a set of well-defined processes that can be managed in several
ways to Guide through an Implementation Project.
Oracle’s AIM is a proven approach for implementing packaged
solutions.
AIM provides the tools needed to effectively and efficiently
plan, conduct and control project steps to successfully implement business
solutions.
AIM splits the project into phases that provide quality and
control check points to coordinate activities that have a common goal.
A phase is group of task to organize and schedule
deliverables.
A process is a group of dependent task which have major
objective. A Task is a unit of Work or a Single Deliverable.
AIM has six phases as follows
1.
Definitions
2.
Operation Analysis
3.
Solution Design
4.
Build
5.
Transition
6.
Production
Definition
This is the first phase where a detailed
plan for the project is prepared. It contains reviewing the organization’s
business objectives, evaluating the feasibility of meeting the objecting within
the constraints Viz Time, Resource, Budget.
Strategies,
Objectives and approaches are determined for Each AIM Process.
Operation Analysis
In
this phase majorly, Business requirements are analyzed and fit gap analysis are
made.
This
phase contains
Developing/Analyzing the Business Requirement.
Analyze the fit of the business requirement and
standard application functionality.
Solutions are developed for the identified Gaps.
Solution Design
This is the third phase where the detailed designs are
prepared to meet the future business requirements. Project team will prepare
the process solutions to meet the future requirement, carefully scrutinize
these solution and identifies the final approach to address the requirement.
Build
This phase contains
the major process of coding and testing of all customization, if anything has
been identified as not available in standard functions. Whole system testing is
performed to validate the developed solutions to meet the requirements.
Additionally coding and testing of data conversions and
interfaces also carried out in this phase.
Transition
This Phase Consist
of deploying the Freezed solutions in organization. Project team will train the
users and technical team configures the production environment. Transition ends
with the cutover to production and start using new system.
Production
This is the last phase of implementation and the beginning
of the system support cycle. Project team will provide support for
stabilization and maintain the system for the remaining life cycle period.
Comparison of actual results and project objectives is done
and signed off by project and Business team.

I think its good decision of oracle has taken to make an app.Sales and Operation Analysis is the best part of oracle app.
