Prepare Project Team

During this time, you will also be putting together your project plan for the deployment and go-live phases of your implementation. It is important to consider the following during this planning phase to prepare your project team for the Retail Integration implementation:

  • OCI Identity and Access Management - As noted above, you will be using the OCI IAM UI for user management for your Retail Integration cloud services. During the pre-provisioning timeframe, familiarize yourself with this solution and its features.

  • Project Team Training - Consider the training that the members of your team will need in order to make your implementation successful. This includes both your employees, as well as your systems integration partner. Suggested training topics to consider include:

  • Security Configurations - During this phase, you should designate a portion of your team to becoming familiar with OCI IAM and the enterprise roles, duties, and privileges that will be part of the Retail Integration Cloud Service you are implementing. You can also start designing the roles that you will need for your users, and what duties will be assigned to your custom roles. For more details, please refer to Retail Integration Cloud Service Integration Security Guide. For more information on OCI IAM, see Managing Users, User Accounts, and Roles.

  • System Options Configuration - Start reviewing the system options available in all the Retail Integration Cloud Service to determine how these should be configured. Work with your systems integrator to identify those you are unsure about or need to be considered in the program planning.

  • Integration Planning - Start reviewing the available existing integrations available as part of the Retail Integration cloud services to support external Oracle integrations. Key documents to review include:

    • User Guides - Each of the Oracle Retail Cloud Services has a user guide.
