Get ready for the next steps in the Government Shared Service programmes

As you will know, decisions are now well underway in the Government shared service programmes  (Synergy, Matrix, Defence, Unity, Overseas) for transitioning Employee, Finance, Commercial and customer applications to the cloud with the large lead government departments ramping up with key suppliers and creating long term implementation plans allowing  further government departments to join over time.

If you are one of the organisations that is going to join an Oracle based cluster then the journey to Cloud offers incredible opportunities for growth, innovation, and efficiency. By preparing now and taking the initiative, you can set your organisation on a path to be a leader, not a follower.

Are you content to wait and follow others as part of a cluster, or is now the time to take decisive action and position your organisation ahead of the curve?

To truly embrace the exciting opportunities and improvements that Oracle Cloud can bring to your organisation, it's essential to take a proactive and strategic approach. Here are key steps you can take to ensure you're in the optimal position:

Get Ready for Alignment into Cluster:

• Assess and Plan: Begin by assessing your current HR, Finance and Customer support infrastructure, business processes, and data architecture. The goal is to understand how these components will align with Oracle Cloud clusters.
• Readiness Check: Ensure that your systems and processes are ready for the transition. This step assesses whether all necessary components—technical, operational, and organisational—are in place to support a successful transition to Oracle Cloud.

Oracle Cloud Implementation Accelerators:

• Utilise Pre-Built Accelerators: Leverage Symatrix’ implementation accelerators, which are pre-configured tools and templates designed to speed up the deployment process. These accelerators can include best practices, automation scripts, and pre-built configurations that align with data and processing standards.
• Rapid Deployment: With the help of these accelerators, aim to streamline the deployment process, reducing time to go-live and minimising disruption to your operations.

Data and Process Review:

• Comprehensive Review: Conduct a thorough review of your existing data and processes to identify areas that may need adjustment before moving to Oracle Cloud. This includes reviewing data quality, data formats, process efficiency, and compliance with Oracle’s data standards.
• Data Cleansing and Migration Planning: If necessary, perform data cleansing activities to ensure that the data being migrated is accurate and consistent. Develop a detailed migration plan that outlines the steps and tools needed to move data to Oracle Cloud.
• Process Optimisation: Analyse existing business processes and identify opportunities for optimisation during the migration. The goal is to ensure that the transition to Oracle Cloud not only replicates the current state but improves overall efficiency and performance.

This sequence ensures a smooth transition for non-Oracle customers moving to Oracle Cloud, focusing on alignment, leveraging accelerators for efficiency, and conducting a thorough review of data and processes to support a successful migration.
