Questions

Submitted Questions
1. Standard solution for construction industry Applications and
Certificates – more information required about this. I think in the last
conference call we had with Dean it was mentioned that there will be
something in R12.2 for this. Can we have some more information, or
sources of information. I would also like to understand if there is a firm
date for R12.2 release yet?
2. Payroll integration to Oracle Projects – again a subject that was
discussed with Dean, and apparently there is a solution in R12.2. Any
further information on this would also be appreciated please?
3. Estimating and Risk Management – currently the Oracle and
Primavera technologies aim to deliver a solution to a large portion of
project management needs. Notable exceptions include estimating and
risk management and we therefore use unrelated and stand alone
systems to plug this gap. Does Oracle have on its roadmap plans to
provide offerings in this space?
22
Submitted Questions
4. Are there any plans to enable Capital projects to generate revenue and
billing, like Contract projects, as well as capitalise? If so what is the
roadmap for this, is there a planned release date?
5. OP to Primavera Interface – details on the latest release
6. Programmes of work - Is there anything on the OP roadmap to
introduce functionality that will allow users to process change orders
that have financial impacts on multiple OP projects
