Evaluating Upgrade Complexity Based on Customization
At a high-level, you can use the following categories to characterize the complexity of your upgrade project.
- Basic. Horizontal Siebel applications with few or no customizations and fewer than three interfaces.
- Moderate. Horizontal Siebel Applications with light scripting and ten interfaces or less.
- Complex. Siebel Horizontal or Vertical Applications with complex scripting and up to 30 interfaces.
- Extreme. Siebel Horizontal or Vertical Applications with extensive scripting and 30 or more integration points.
Table 1 lists benchmarks for each complexity category based on the modules implemented, the number of real-time integration points, the number of batch interfaces, the total number of scripts, and the number of user interface-intensive scripts.
These complexity categories are guidelines only. The characteristics of your particular implementation drive your requirements. For example, you might have some characteristics of an extremely complex upgrade, but if you have basic interfaces or no customizations, then the overall complexity of your upgrade may be only moderate.
Table 2 lists three scenarios that include estimates of resources and duration of the upgrade effort based on upgrade complexity.
