As Oracle customers look to reap the benefits of their investment in Oracle, many organizations will seek the expertise of Oracle services providers to guide them on their cloud journey.

Forrester released The Oracle Services Landscape, Q3 2024 report to help organizations understand the value they can expect from Oracle services providers and explore potential partners.

Oracle Services Providers

Oracle recently announced the finalists and winners of its 2024 Oracle Excellence Awards. We’re delighted to share that G6 Hospitality was recognized as a finalist for the Application Modernization Award.

This honor positions G6 Hospitality among a field of top Oracle customers who have demonstrated excellence in application modernization with Oracle Analytics, Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This acknowledgment not only reflects our commitment to innovation and excellence but also validates the hard work and dedication of G6 and the Perficient team.

“We are thrilled by this recognition from Oracle as a 2024 Application Modernization Award finalist,” said Brijesh Ravindran, vice president of IT engineering and architecture, G6 Hospitality. With the infrastructure and foundation in place for a robust analytics platform, G6 Hospitality is now well-positioned to tap into the latest advancements in data intelligence solutions, including accelerated adoption of data democratization, improved data visualization, expanded third-party data, and leveraging AI solutions in conjunction with enterprise performance reporting.

“This is a huge acknowledgment for G6 from Oracle, and we are excited to be one of the finalists,” according to Deepa Unni, Director of IT Development, G6 Hospitality. “As a part of G6’s Application Modernization strategy, this initiative of adopting Oracle Cloud allows us to enable, optimize, and enhance new solutions and services to support our business teams.”

Awards were classified into several categories for infrastructure, including Data Center Migration and Transformation, Application Modernization, Data Platform Innovation, AI Innovation, and Cloud Architect with up to five finalists per category. Honorees in the Application Modernization category have successfully moved Oracle and non-Oracle applications. According to Oracle, “…sometimes these deployments minimize rearchitecting applications, while in other cases they involve modernizing the application to new software versions or cloud services. They deliver higher performance at lower cost than alternatives.”

Recognition from Oracle for Application Modernization Revolutionizing the Hospitality Industry

“Perficient’s dedicated best-in-class team worked hand-in-hand with G6 at every step, making this a remarkable accomplishment,” said Deepa Unni.

The Perficient ERP team also helped G6 upgrade EBS Financials from R12.1.3 to R12.2.12 and consolidate several custom back-office applications.

“Perficient brought in their ‘A’ team from their CoE of DBAs during a critical upgrade challenge and resolved the issue timely and efficiently, completing the project under budget and on time, overcoming numerous challenges along the way,” said Brijesh Ravindran. “Perficient’s unwavering commitment to understanding G6’s unique needs allowed us to create tailor-made solutions that optimized their application modernization initiatives, delivered successful outcomes, and drove growth through enhanced end-user experience.”

Perficient digitally transformed for success by migrating to Oracle Cloud HCM. To share our story, we invited key stakeholders Andrea Lampert, Michael Zucker, Cathie Meyers, and Mike Grennier to join a panel discussion moderated by Stuart Massey, Principal of our Oracle ERP practice.

As Vice President of People, Andrea is responsible for working across the company to support business goals by driving the implementation of strategic people objectives reflecting Perficient’s commitment to our people and our culture. Michael Zucker, Vice President of IT, is responsible for internally facing technology solutions and infrastructure. Cathie Meyers is Director of HR and Mike Grennier is Director of Talent Acquisition. 

In the first blog post of this four-part series, Andrea and Michael discussed Challenges of Legacy Systems, Guiding Principles, and Roadmap. In the second blog post in the series, we learned about the wins for HR and IT.  Additionally, for the third blog post, we heard about the Deeper Dives Into Our Cloud Journey.  Lastly, for our fourth and final blog post in the series, we will review lessons learned during our HCM cloud journey.

To view the entire panel discussion, click here.

For Large Projects such as the Journey to Oracle Cloud HCM from EBS, What are the Notable Lessons Learned from this Implementation?

Micheal Zucker:

Finding the right integration layer such as what would remain and what gets consolidated, was important for us in determining if it was scalable and easy to maintain.  We ended up using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for that layer and utilized the skills coming from our business unit to learn about it.  Leveraging our internal teams was a big benefit and I’m glad we took the time to figure out how to do that the right way.

We also talked about building contingency plans when we go through acquisitions.  The resources are temporarily moved away from their daily work streams, and this causes various delays or interruptions.  For example, this could result in an unexpected delay in the closing process for the financial teams. So building a little bit of that contingency was a good lesson for us.

Additionally, early on, it was important to find the right number of environments from a testing perspective.  This was a good lesson after the completion of multiple test cycles and finding out the need for different test environments to coincide with various tests.

Lastly, since we are a publicly traded company, it was important to make sure that we had the right tax-related controls as well as the segregation of duties.  Specifically, those types of role permissions were really important for us to tackle before going live rather than after going live and facing some sort of audit constraint.

Andrea Lampert:

We learned many lessons during this journey. We started change management early and often. While we were excited and optimistic, we were also aware that this was a transformational project that would comprise countless changes. Perficient is spread over 10 countries with a total of 7,500 employees and we had to really understand what was happening everywhere. And it is important to make sure that you involve many people to really be part of this change management.  And if you start early, it will make a big difference in increasing user adoption.

I’ll also say establishing relationships and doing whatever it takes to learn how to work together as a team.
This is a stressful project, so it’s not all fun and games. There’s a lot of work to be done in a short period of time by a lot of people who may or may not have all worked together before, so figure out the channels in which people can communicate openly and on a regular basis. Don’t just communicate when you need to but establish the communication so can build dependable relationships when you need them.

Additionally, I’d also say begin with the end in mind.  Challenge the status quo and don’t do something just because you’ve always done it.  Think about what’s possible and allow the Oracle team to help, too.
Whenever we tapped into the Oracle team and said, hey, what do you think about this? It was always helpful, so we didn’t have to decide everything in a vacuum.
