About Fremont Corporation: An Example of Setting Up Oracle Projects

Fremont Corporation is a fictitious company based in Bay Grove, California, that provides engineering, construction, and services contracting to a wide variety of domestic and international customers. It consists of four divisions: Administration, Engineering, Construction, and Services.

These divisions are further divided into a number of groups. For example, Administration has four groups: the Executive Office, Human Resources, Finance, and Information Services.

To integrate its accounting needs, Fremont Corporation implements other Oracle Applications products such as Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Receivables, Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Payables, and Oracle Assets.

Fremont Corporation decides to implement Oracle Projects for each division and begins by forming an implementation team. This team, made up of managers who understand Fremont Corporation's accounting and project management practices, decides how Fremont Corporation should implement Oracle Projects to best suit the company's business needs. They also define the policies, procedures, and requirements needed to complete the implementation.

Throughout this guide, whenever we discuss a particular aspect of implementation, we discuss how Fremont Corporation's implementation team chooses to implement Oracle Projects. These examples are usually at the end of each implementation step and have a gray background.

Note: Fremont Corporation may not have implemented all of the features available in this release of Oracle Projects.
