Enabling confident decision-making through Oracle programme insight and governance.
Oracle Cloud programmes bring transformative potential but also layers of complexity, interdependencies, and governance challenges. As programme scopes grow and delivery cycles stretch, many organisations struggle to maintain visibility, manage risk, and ensure strategic alignment between business outcomes and technology objectives.
Sera Neon’s Business Advisory Services provide the clarity and control needed to deliver confidently. We act as your independent partner, combining deep Oracle expertise with programme governance experience to ensure your implementation remains structured, transparent and effective.
Our advisory model integrates seamlessly with your delivery teams offering early identification of risks, actionable recommendations and measurable governance improvements. Whether you’re launching a new programme, midway through delivery, or stabilising post go-live, Sera Neon helps you stay on course to achieve the outcomes you set out to deliver.

Our approach for EPM: clear phases, predictable timescales
We follow a phased approach so stakeholders know exactly what to expect and when. Below is the programme structure we typically use for EPM implementations. Timings should be treated as a guide and adapted to the size and complexity of each project.
Phase 1: Assessment and Discovery
We begin by reviewing your Oracle programme’s current state governance model, decision-making structure, documentation and dependencies. Our team conducts interviews and document reviews to establish an objective baseline of programme health. This discovery phase identifies the strengths to build on and the risks requiring early mitigation.
Phase 2: Governance Review
Our advisors examine existing controls, escalation paths and steering committee structures. We evaluate how information flows between teams, whether decisions are evidence-based, and how risks are escalated and resolved. Recommendations are then provided to improve accountability, traceability and audit-readiness within your programme framework.
Phase 3: Strategic Alignment
We ensure that delivery activities remain connected to strategic business objectives. This includes reviewing scope priorities, KPIs and benefit tracking, ensuring all stakeholders share a unified understanding of what “success” means. Through executive workshops, we help reset alignment between delivery teams, sponsors and business leadership.
Phase 4: Recommendations and Action Plan
Based on our findings, we deliver a clear, prioritised action plan outlining the immediate and longer-term steps required to strengthen programme control. This includes changes to reporting cadence, resource allocation, risk ownership and partner collaboration. Each recommendation is practical, measurable and designed for rapid adoption.
Phase 5: Ongoing Assurance and Support
Sera Neon continues to provide assurance through structured checkpoints, governance reviews and performance tracking. We act as an embedded advisor, ensuring your programme evolves within the right guardrails and that executive sponsors maintain accurate, real-time visibility.
