As companies migrate from Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle EBS) to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications like Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle Cloud HCM or Oracle Cloud SCM , an important decision that comes into question is – How do we handle legacy data residing in applications like Oracle EBS?

While it makes sense to not migrate all historical data, it is important to retain this data not only for legal and compliance purposes but also for business purposes. An ideal solution would be to migrate legacy data to a data warehouse for reporting in the future.

Orbit’s Legacy Data Reporting Solution makes it easy for business users to do self-service operational and financial reporting from legacy data residing in Oracle EBS.
