Information Technology Implementation Consulting

The Main Line of Business for EBSS

Ever since the foundation of EBSS in 2001, we have supported the implementation of ERP and SCM (enterprise resource planning and supply chain management) based on Oracle E-Business Suite (hereafter, Oracle EBS) at over 100 locations english for companies that represent Japan in heavy electric machinery manufacturing, industrial equipment, AV equipment, and electronic components.

We can cover ERP cloud

Subsequently, our ability to respond globally is backed by experience in projects abroad, wisdom, a deep knowledge in the core work and systems for accounting, purchasing, selling, and production in the manufacturing industry, and the know-how of advanced technology related to developing and installing Oracle EBS. From this, we provide consulting services for work system configurations that are the foundations for our clients' success on the global stage.

We are working on Oracle SaaS Cloud service implementation (Oracle SCM / ERP Cloud).

Compared with On-Premise ERP implementation, cloud does not require hardware facilities and it makes simple business system implementation in short project period with less cost.

Our skilled and experienced consultants in core business area like SCM/Manufacturig/Financial support cloud system implementation.

For those our effort, we won "2017 Oracle Applications Cloud Consultation Award" in Japan (2nd place in ERP Cloud Part, 1st place in Sales Cloud Part).

*SaaS: Software as a Service

Tools for uploading and downloading data : DIF (Desktop Integration Framework)	Templates for uploading and downloading data using DIF. Can also be used as a simple BI. Other than templates provided by Oracle, our company has created proprietary tools that are quite frequently used.
Test support tools : ATS (Application Test Suite)	Tools for automating system operations according to descriptions on test scripts. Holds many scripts uniquely created by our company.
Tools for supporting user education and manual creation : UPK (User Productivity Kit)	Tools that allow users to simulate operations via speech patterns, and record actual system operations. It is also possible to use intelligibility test functions as online help after going live. Supports the user learning screen operations in a dimension different from that of paper manuals.
Transition tools	Tools that read to EBS standard tables that wrapped OIF and/or API. Also, tools that support reading data using DIF.
SLA (Service Level Agreement)Contract templates	Definitions for the range of services when global operations are implied and templates that chronologically define the role divisions between the implementation team, local area, and PIC of actual operations.
EBS upgrades,Procedures/results	Procedures for going up to R12 in the technical upgrades for the EBS11i environment.

2. Wisdom and a deep knowledge in the core work and systems for accounting, purchasing, selling, and production in the manufacturing industry

We create IT solutions based on business knowledge cultivated by experience with engaging in projects at a large number of manufacturers, starting with the Toshiba Group.To do this, we analyze our clients' workflow and fit and gap, based on the standard workflow that is used in ERP packages, and provide consulting services for the installation of effective ERP packages.

Global development is Key

In recent years, global development has been promoted by many clients in the manufacturing industry. ERP installations, global IT installations, and especially complicated projects that install IT at the same time in multiple locations across the globe have been increasing to promote global development.EBSS believes the following points are crucial.

1. Preparation of templates that consider development in multiple locations across the globe

Global businesses constantly face the difficulty of having to gather information and provide shared operations, while keeping in mind the culture, legal systems, and business customs specific to each region, each country, and each office around the world.

To support multiple cultures, legal systems, and business customs when developing in many locations, information about each country must be collected locally prior to designing a work process. It is important to prepare templates for systems (standard setup, common add-ons, process flow, code rules, et cetera), while being conscience of the scalability based on that work process.

EBSS supports both the location's individuality and necessary and sufficient standards. From process "1 Investigations and planning" to "2 Define requirements", we design location models and standard models to be sent to each location.

2. Designing systems that are conscience of global operations

After the system goes live, global operations will start. However, it is to be expected that as locations expand, even more locations will start using the system while it is live. It is necessary to be sufficiently aware of the following points to support both additional locations and global operations.

• Operations after going live and maintenance models
• Design instances at regional bases
• Disaster response measures

3. Points for the promotion of project installation

Development for each location actually begins after the preparation of environment designs and templates that consider global support. In this implementation and promotion project, inspecting the balance between resources and the simultaneous development of locations, knowledge of the business customs and legal systems in each country, establishing a method for examinations for unknown ranges, and creating advantages for our global partners is vital.

To support this, EBSS offers a project management consulting service.

We provide consulting services from the planning of EBS installations that consider these kinds of points, to installation and stabilization.
