Stanford University creates thousands of accounts annually to effective manage financials for schools & departments, research grants, capital projects and major gifts. Request for these accounts were initiated on paper forms by distributed financial staff & approvers and manually entered by centralized financial departments into Oracle Financials.

In 2012, a custom Application Express application was built and integrated with Oracle Financials to automate this complex and data intensive manual process. This session, presented by the project manager & development manager, will cover the project perspective, application architecture & design, development challenges and project benefits.

Here’s the topics we will cover in each major section:

Project Perspective: project timeline, staffing model and user & transaction metrics.

Application Architecture & design: overall application architecture, Apex application & User Interface design elements, authority model and E-Business Suite integration.

Development Challenges: Team alignment, managing requirements, user interface design changes and testing support model

Project Benefits: Process improvement, transparency, security & audit and data quality
