Presentation: "Integration of Oracle Project Accounting with Oracle Project Contracts"
Speaker(s): Jill Hill, Mirant

Managing large capital projects can involve many complex contractual issues. This presentation will describe how Mirant Corporation completed the first successful "buy side" implementation of Oracle Project Contracts with integration into Oracle Project Accounting. This session will review the design which included the use of significant Oracle Workflow processes for the management of contract approvals and business document tracking, enhanced change management/cost forecasting capabilities, program/project reporting and integration with a document management system (Documentum).
