The Authority views this effort as an opportunity to achieve these goals within a stable, usable, and supported Oracle R12 environment. The Authority wishes to utilize standard EBS R12 functionality to the degree it supports the above goals and/or eliminates customizations within the current environment. Timing for this effort is driven by the pending loss of support from Oracle for its existing 11i environment as of January 1, 2015. The Authority desires to be live and operational with core functions by October 1, 2014 to support this objective.
