AIM Processes

Processes:

1) Business process architecture (BP)
Business process architecture addresses the organization’s business processes and aligns them with the business requirement and applications to be implemented. High level process designs (BP0.070) and future process model (BP0.080) are a part of this.

2) Business requirements Definition (RD)
Business Requirements Definition defines the business needs that must be met by the implementation project .This is RD 0.020 which is the current business needs.

3) Business Requirement Mapping (BR)
Business requirement mapping compares the future business requirements to standard oracle application functionality and identifies the gaps. Business requirements scenarios (RD0.050) are then mapped to oracle functionality.

4) Application and Technical Architecture (TA)
During Application and Technical Architecture, the information systems are designed to reflect the business vision

5) Module Design and Build (MD)
Module design and build produces custom application extensions for gaps in functionality identified during BR.Custom application extensions include program modules( forms, reports, alerts and database triggers) that must be designed, built and tested before being transitioned in the new system.

6) Data Conversions (CV)
Data conversion defines the tasks and deliverable to convert legacy data to oracle application base tables.

7) Documentation (DO)
It defines the documentation requirements for the project and establishes which of the documentation tasks are required.

8) Business System Testing (TE)
Early in the project life-cycle, Business System Testing focuses on linking test requirements back to business requirements and securing project resources needed for testing.
Business System Testing provides a formal integrated approach to Testing

9) Performance Testing (PT)
Performance Testing enables you to define, build, and execute a performance test. The Performance Testing team defines the scope of testing and relates it to point-in-time snapshots of the transactions expected in the real production system

10) Adoption and Learning (AP)
Adoption and Learning establishes a measurement system that provides an evaluation of organizational performance to help make sure that expectations are met during implementation and after production cut-over

11) Production Migration (PM)
Production Migration moves the company, system, and people to the new enterprise system.

AIM Phases

 Application Implementation Methodology

• Oracle’s Application Implementation Methodology is a proven approach to implement Oracle Applications.
• AIM defines an organization’s business needs at the beginning of the project and maintains their visibility through out the implementation. 
• AIM project is conducted in phases. The phases provide quality and control checkpoints to coordinate project activities that have a common goal.

Phases:

1) Definition: During this phase, we plan the project ,review the organization’s business objectives ,understand the business processes and evaluate the feasibility of meeting those objectives under time, resources and budget constraints. The emphasis is on building an achievable work plan and introducing guidelines on how the organization will work to achieve the objectives.To achieve an early understanding of current business operations and future processes,the team also performs baseline and process modeling during this phase.If business change is required,then the high level future process designs are drawn.The goal is to identify the future business and system requirements,propose a future business model and determine the current application and information technology architecture.The information gathered provides input to the downstream activities in subsequent phases.All business requirements are associated with planned future business processes.So sharing an accurate understanding of the requirements is a critical success factor to the project.

2) Operations Analysis: The project team develops the business requirement scenarios based on deliverable drawn out of the definition stages.These business requirement scenarios are used assess the level of fit between the detailed business requirement and standard application functionality.Gaps are identified and new proposed solutions are developed.Proposed solutions for gaps evolve into detailed design during a solution design phase.

3) Solution Design: The purpose of the solution design is to develop the detailed design to meet the future business requirements.

4) Build:The coding and testing of all customizations,data conversions and interfaces are done in this phase.Business system testing is performed to validate that the functionality meets the business requirements.If customizations,extensions and conversions are not required ,build phase is still important because it includes business system test..In conference room pilot(CRP),the business system test validates the new system in an environment that resembles the production.

5) Transition: During transition,the project team deploys the new system into the organization.All the elements must come together to tranisition successfully to actual production.During transition users perform an acceptance test of the new system.

6) Production: It marks the last phase of the implementation and the beginning of system support cycle.
