Nike
Nike runs a complicated global sports company
everyone is familiar with. In 1996 they embarked on an
ambitious plan of converting part of their financial operations
to
Oracle Financials from an outdated
mainframe
system. Catapult was one of the three consulting firms involved
in this process and remains a vendor for Nike, the largest company in Oregon. We worked with
Oracle Consulting and rolled out the technical side in eight
months.
Tektronix
Tektronix is a leader in Oscilloscopes, mobile
communications, color printing and many other electronic devices. They
are the third largest company in Oregon. Tek hired Catapult to
develop a variety of custom forms, reports and PLSQL. Before Chain
Link was around they hired us to build something similar. Tek had a
multitude of servers running Financials and needed to keep all of them
in sync with each other. When a record was added to one instance, the
same one needed to be added to all the others in development, test and
production.
Esco Corporation
Esco is a 90 year old
global steel manufacturer with a focus on Mining, construction and recycling
products. In 1997 they converted to
Oracle Financials 10.7 globally from another package. They hired
Catapult to help migrate enormous amounts of data from the old
system into financials in a 24-hour period at cutover. This required
several rehearsals to ensure a safe transition.
