Accelerating your move to Oracle Cloud
Inoapps Industry Clouds bring together industry-specific extensions, accelerators, best practices and adoption support to accelerate your move to Oracle Cloud and deliver better business outcomes.
We tailor our implementation and support models to the needs of each university. Whether this means providing a single solution or accelerator, or support with testing, training or change management. We’ve developed specialized products such as Inoapps HESA Staff Records and Inoapps Student Funding to help streamline administration. And our team of managed services experts is here to support you with both maintaining your systems and along your continuous improvement journey.
Preparing for your cloud transition project
Solid planning helps remove implementation risks and significantly improves user adoption.
Inoapps can support you at this critical point in your project with:
- Technical Readiness Assessments. To review your existing deployments and environments and provide a solid technical starting point for the project.
- Business Readiness Assessments. To assess the project’s impact on the university and system users, and establish what can be changed now to minimize impact later in the process.
- Data quality review. To establish where you have inconsistent, disconnected or poor quality data.
- Roadmap preparation. To develop a roadmap that outlines the stages and timelines for your transition to the cloud, whether that’s over the next 12 months or 12 years.
- Project and Program Governance Design. Leveraging our extensive implementation experience to help design a governance structure that suits your culture while achieving the needs of the transformation program.
Implementations tailored to Higher Education needs
Inoapps has proven implementation methodologies that have been tailored to the unique requirements of Higher Education (HE) projects. These include:
- The development of an HE capability model based on the UCISA model and tailored to Oracle Modern Best Practice
- Recommended ‘To Be’ process designs so that you aren't starting with a blank page
- Accelerators / solutions for common industry requirements for statutory reports and common university pensions schemes set up and reporting
Products and solutions designed for HE processes
Inoapps understands that there are some industry specific processes that are considered too niche for Oracle to address but are absolutely critical to the business. To support our customers in our focus industries, we’ve developed solutions to support these processes. Our industry solutions are developed as Platform as a Service (PaaS) tools, which means they integrate seamlessly to Oracle Fusion applications to create a unified user experience.
Our solutions for Higher Education include:
- Inoapps HESA Staff Records, to assist with the delivery of accurate, timely HESA returns
- Inoapps Student Funding for managing third party payers, including Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) and Student Loans Company (SLC)
- A flexible working solution that includes monitoring Tier iV work hour restrictions
- Accelerators for producing TRAC and Annual Financial (AFR) returns, including continued reporting across those figures so you can leverage the data year on year
Managed Services for support and continuous improvement
Whether you’re maintaining a large Oracle E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft environment or have made the transition to Oracle Cloud Applications, it’s vital that these mission critical systems run smoothly and evolve with your needs.
Inoapps can support your environments in a number of ways, including:
- Standard Managed Service support
- Help with the design of your support target operating model
- Support with the analysis, implementation and testing of new Oracle features released as part of regular patches
