To add to the challenge, the migration would have to be a hard cutover from the old system to the new; there was just no way to run two systems simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"border-0 has-margin-top-0 has-margin-right-0 has-margin-bottom-0 has-margin-left-0 has-padding-top-0 has-padding-right-0 has-padding-bottom-0 has-padding-left-0\">This is what the teams at Oracle\u2019s Application Labs (OAL) were faced with when they were tasked with migrating their entire Order-to-Revenue system from on-premise to the Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP.&nbsp; It\u2019s well known that only a fraction of cloud migrations get completed on time, and even fewer deliver all the value that was hoped for. The Oracle teams were determined that this wasn\u2019t going to be their story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"border-0 has-margin-top-0 has-margin-right-0 has-margin-bottom-0 has-margin-left-0 has-padding-top-0 has-padding-right-0 has-padding-bottom-0 has-padding-left-0\">SAFe was adopted to handle the scale and complexity of the work and to provide an engagement model that would help keep the teams connected, engaged, and aligned with each other and with the business. SAFe would also help Oracle\u2019s thinking evolve from a project to product mindset.<br><br>The goals were ambitious, and with the addition of a new way of working, there was no shortage of skeptics. Transformation leaders took a light-handed approach to help people get comfortable with the process and slowly build trust.
