Upgrades

Alaris expedites time-to-value for Oracle Releases 11i, 12 and other upgrades. Our consultants' recommendations range from identifying the most appropriate release to developing a business case to justify the ROI. We provide technical consulting on migration strategies, patch application and tuning, as well as selecting the optimal hardware and OS platforms to support the upgrade.

Alaris has the technical and strategic expertise to minimize downtime and disruption during the upgrade. Our consultants determine appropriate testing levels, identify effects on client business processes, and seamlessly phase out customizations that have become standard with the latest upgrade. Alaris brings proven experience streamlining the upgrade process and developing the cleanest, most direct path to achieve a successful rollout.
