PROJECT 1 — Oracle EBS‑to‑Oracle Fusion Cloud Migration (Bank of America)
(Source: “Led Oracle EBS-to-Oracle Fusion Cloud migration program…”)
PMP‑Ready Description
Initiated the enterprise migration program by defining scope, identifying architecture stakeholders, and establishing success criteria for transitioning Oracle EBS and Exadata workloads into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Planned the migration by developing the technical implementation roadmap, sequencing legacy system retirements, and creating integration specifications aligned with cloud architecture standards. Executed the program by directing cross‑functional engineering, DBA, and application teams, translating complex architecture decisions into actionable technical tasks, and coordinating hybrid environment integration workstreams. Monitored and controlled progress through weekly governance reviews, risk and dependency tracking, issue escalation, and architectural compliance validation across legacy and cloud platforms. Closed the project by validating post‑migration functionality, confirming operational readiness, and delivering executive‑facing architecture documentation supporting long‑term cloud governance.
