A global beauty and consumer products company needed to retire on-premise Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion SaaS at once. Here’s the dual-path architecture that got it done: 100% validated reconciliation, zero data loss, no API bottlenecks.
- 17.4B OEBS records archived
- 236M Fusion SaaS records archived
- 100% validated reconciliation
- 87% of users self-served reports on Day 1
What’s inside
- Why direct API extraction fails past 100M records — and the 2.36-million-call math that proves it
- The dual-path architecture: direct database extraction for on-premise EBS, orchestrated BI Publisher + OIC extraction for Fusion SaaS
- How a canonical data layer unifies both systems into one governed archive for cross-source reporting
- The five-phase implementation model, from source assessment to deployed reporting
- Results: 87 data quality issues resolved, 100% GL reconciliation, 72% fewer post-retirement support tickets
Why it matters
Most ERP retirements stall the moment cloud systems enter the picture. Direct-to-database extraction works for legacy on-premise systems, but SaaS platforms like Oracle Fusion block that path entirely — leaving teams to fight timeouts, rate limits, and failed API calls at enterprise scale. This case study breaks down the architecture that solved it: a dual-path extraction strategy unified by a single canonical data layer, built for organizations retiring both legacy and cloud ERP systems together.
