Six Oracle Cloud Paths

Independent Advisory — The Right Path for Your Organisation

eAppSys advises on all six Oracle cloud paths. The right choice depends on your business priorities, current EBS investment, timeline, and licensing position — not on a supplier’s preferred migration narrative.

EBS on OCI — Lift & Shift

Migrate Oracle EBS to OCI using EBS Cloud Manager — no application changes, no integration changes. Eliminates on-premises infrastructure risk quickly.

3–9 months typical

Oracle Fusion Cloud

Re-implement on Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP / HCM / SCM — SaaS, zero infrastructure, continuous quarterly innovation. Oracle’s long-term strategic direction.

12–36 months typical

Hybrid Coexistence

Run EBS on OCI alongside Fusion Cloud — connected via OIC. A phased approach that moves workloads to Fusion while EBS continues on OCI.

Phased approach

Stay & Modernise EBS

Remain on EBS 12.2 — Premier Support to 2037 — and modernise with APEX, Oracle Select AI, AI Database 26ai, and OIC integrations. Lowest risk, protects investment.

EBS 2037 confirmed

Multicloud Strategy

Oracle workloads on OCI alongside Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud — connected via Oracle Cloud Interconnect. Consistent OCI pricing whether single-cloud or multicloud.

OCI + Azure / AWS / GCP

Sovereign / Dedicated Cloud

OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, or UK Government Cloud for data-residency, GDPR, and public sector compliance requirements.

UK Gov Cloud available

Why eAppSys

Your Independent Oracle Cloud Advisory Partner

Independent — No Forced Path

eAppSys provides independent advisory — EBS on OCI, Fusion Cloud, hybrid, or stay and modernise. EBS Premier Support runs to 2037. The right path is yours to decide; eAppSys provides the structured framework to make that decision with confidence.

Deep Oracle Application Knowledge

Cloud strategy advisory grounded in real Oracle application delivery — EBS, Fusion Cloud, Oracle Database, and OCI. Not generic cloud frameworks applied to an Oracle landscape.

Licensing Advisory Included

eAppSys reviews BYOL entitlements, Oracle Database on OCI licensing, Universal Credits consumption, and Oracle Support Rewards — identifying optimisation opportunities that reduce total cloud cost of ownership.

Full Journey — Strategy to Operations

eAppSys is the same partner from strategy advisory through OCI migration to OracleCloudCare managed operations — and through to a future Fusion Cloud migration when the time is right. One partner, continuous accountability.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OCI Cloud Strategy Advisory?

OCI Cloud Strategy Advisory helps Oracle application customers plan their cloud journey — whether migrating EBS to OCI, moving to Fusion Cloud, adopting hybrid coexistence, or optimising an existing OCI investment. eAppSys delivers independent advisory: cloud readiness assessment, OCI architecture design, licensing review, and a phased roadmap so organisations make the right cloud investment decision with confidence.

eAppSys advises on all six Oracle cloud paths — EBS on OCI lift-and-shift using EBS Cloud Manager; Oracle Fusion Cloud re-implementation; hybrid EBS/Fusion coexistence via OIC; staying on EBS 12.2 (Premier Support to 2037) and modernising with APEX, Select AI, and 26ai; multicloud with Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud via OCI Interconnect; and sovereign cloud via OCI Dedicated Region or Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud for UK public sector and regulated industries.

A cloud readiness assessment covers current-state inventory of applications, databases, integrations, and customisations; cloud suitability scoring per workload; risk and dependency mapping; TCO modelling across on-premises, OCI, and Fusion Cloud; Oracle licensing review including BYOL, Universal Credits, and Support Rewards; and a recommended cloud path with phased roadmap. Output is a structured readiness report and prioritised migration backlog.

Oracle Universal Credits is Oracle’s flexible OCI licensing model — a pool of credits consumable across any OCI service without pre-committing to specific resource types. eAppSys reviews your BYOL position, Oracle Database licence entitlements, Universal Credits consumption model, and Oracle Support Rewards to identify cost optimisation opportunities and reduce total cloud ownership cost.

Yes — eAppSys provides 24/7 managed OCI operations through OracleCloudCare following any strategy and migration engagement. OracleCloudCare covers environment monitoring, Oracle Database and EBS patch management on OCI, cost optimisation, security management (Cloud Guard, IAM, Security Zones), SLA-backed incident management, and DR failover coordination. eAppSys is the single partner for the full Oracle cloud lifecycle — strategy through migration to managed operations.
