  • Oracle Unified Method (OUM)
AIM  methodology known as  Ask and Do as it is requirements driven and solution is derived based on the requirements during the project.

AIM For Business Flows (ABF) also called as Show and Tell, as it is solution driven and Solution Flow is defined before the start of project. It is based on iterative approach based where multiple runs of CRPs are done. In the essence it aims at avoiding customization and prioritizes all changes. 

OUM The vision for the Oracle Unified Method (OUM) is to support the entire enterprise IT life cycle, including support for the successful implementation of every Oracle product. OUM supports implementations of every size including: staff augmentation, agile implementations ,projects (small to large), programs
