IT Audit for the Industrial Manufacturer

Business Challenge

While migrating from Oracle ERP to proAlpha EBS, the customer has faced a few challenges. The status of the project wasn’t clear enough:

• The client had no deadline for completing the migration.
• Delays with the implementation of the solution occurred.

For this reason, the customer decided to conduct IT auditing. Audit service was the way to get a clear understanding of the status of the project as well as to review the company’s IT infrastructure.

One of the most important conditions for hiring an external service provider to conduct IT auditing services – is limited delivery time. In other words, the customer expected a quick start and prompt feedback after the audit IT. In short, the manufacturer expected on following:

• The detailed report on the migration process from Oracle ERP to proAlpha EBS.
• IT department professional review & assessment.
• Review and assessment of proAlpha, Oracle EBS solution. ERP audit team should analyze proAlpha EBS modules as well as the needs of each department of the company. The goal – conduct an audit service to verify that migration to proAlpha EBS is the right decision. The customer wanted to make sure that the migration would solve the main issues that departments of the company are facing.

Solution

IT audit team started the evaluation of the organization’s IT infrastructure, operational processes, data usage, and management as well as policies and procedures. Also, the information technology audit included meetings with the representatives of each key department. Meetings/interviews helped to identify the pros and cons of the current solution, Oracle ERP. Among all communication with employees helped to get a clear vision of expectations from proAlpha. For example, what features are essential and what is the status of data transfer to proAlpha.

Additionally, the IT auditing team worked closely with key persons, responsible for the migration proAlpha EBS. In brief, the discussions were held around the following topics:

• ProAlpha EBS, Oracle EBS
• Choices behind these systems
• Key challenges in the process
• List of other alternatives

IT audit team reviewed key documentation related to this project and proAlpha software.

Business Impact

IT audit services were provided according to the set deadline. As a result the customer received an expert overview of the current progress of the migration project and assessment of the IT department. IT auditing results also included the following:

• Detailed overview of the current state of the project and actual processes.
• Propositions of the solutions that will resolve current blockers of data transmission to proAlpha.
• Detailed plan with the list of actions, which will facilitate the migration from Oracle ERP to proAlpha EBS, Oracle EBS.
