Oracle EBS + Oracle Database 26ai Modernization Services
Modernize Oracle EBS for the AI Era — Without Replacing Your ERP
Not sure where your EBS environment stands on the path to 26ai?
Accelerate AI Readiness, Reduce Operational Complexity, and Future-Proof Your Oracle EBS Environment
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 is now certified on Oracle Database 26ai, the first Oracle database release in which AI is built into the engine, not layered on top. For EBS customers, this creates a structured modernization path: run OLTP transactions and AI vector operations in parallel, within the same database, without rebuilding your ERP or forcing a cloud migration.
At IT Convergence, we help Oracle EBS customers modernize strategically through Oracle AI Database 26ai upgrade and modernization services aligned to long-term business, infrastructure, security, and AI goals.

Our Oracle EBS 26ai Modernization Services
26ai Readiness Assessment
Evaluate your current Oracle EBS and database environment to assess upgrade dependencies, EBS compatibility, infrastructure readiness, security considerations, and AI-enablement opportunities, before any modernization decisions are made.
AI-Ready Modernization Roadmap
Build a phased modernization strategy aligned to your AI initiatives, operational goals, infrastructure roadmap, and long-term Oracle investment plans. Covers upgrade sequencing, EBS compatibility dependencies, and on-premises, hybrid, and OCI considerations.
Oracle Database 19c to 26ai Upgrade
Execute your database upgrade using Oracle’s validated AutoUpgrade utility with frameworks purpose-built for EBS environments. Includes CDB/PDB architecture migration, EDBPC parameter validation, RAC and Active Data Guard assessment, and intelligent rolling patching planning.
Oracle EBS Compatibility & Upgrade Advisory
For organizations on older EBS releases, we evaluate version compatibility, define upgrade sequencing, assess CEMLI and customization dependencies, and identify the modernization pathway that preserves operational continuity.
AI Enablement for Oracle EBS Environments
Implement vector search, in-database RAG, and AI agent workflows directly on live EBS transactional data, without duplicating data or building a separate AI infrastructure. Includes integration with Oracle AI Database Private Agent Factory for no-code/low-code AI agent deployment.
Security & Governance Alignment
Align modernization with cybersecurity requirements, governance frameworks, and infrastructure strategy. Covers SQL Firewall implementation, AI data boundary governance, quantum-resistant encryption planning, and compliance alignment.
Testing, Validation & Operational Readiness
Comprehensive testing and validation support across functional, technical, and performance dimensions to reduce risk and confirm operational readiness before go-live.
Managed Services & Ongoing Optimization
Extend modernization value with ongoing Oracle database administration, performance optimization, security monitoring, and patch management — including alignment to Oracle’s monthly Critical Security Patch Update cycle.
AI-Assisted Performance Optimization
Oracle Database 26ai shifts EBS database operations from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, continuous optimization.

The OCI Angle to Modernization with the 26ai Database Upgrade
While Oracle Database 26ai can be deployed across on-premise and hybrid environments, organizations evaluating long-term AI strategies are increasingly considering Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as part of their modernization roadmap.
OCI enables a different operational model for 26ai:
- Infrastructure management, patching, and scaling are handled by Oracle, reducing administrative overhead
- AI integrations can be implemented through native services and APIs, without building custom pipelines
- Database environments can scale dynamically based on workload requirements
- Advanced deployment options such as Autonomous Database and Exadata-based services simplify performance and optimization
For organizations looking to accelerate AI readiness while reducing infrastructure complexity, OCI provides a more flexible and operationally efficient path.
Why IT Convergence?
20+ Years of Oracle EBS Expertise From R11 through R12.2, IT Convergence has delivered upgrades, modernization initiatives, managed services, and Oracle advisory services for global EBS customers across every major industry.
Unified Oracle + Infrastructure + Security Practice Unlike traditional upgrade providers, we bring Oracle application expertise, infrastructure modernization, cybersecurity capabilities, and AI-readiness strategy into a single engagement, so modernization decisions are never made in isolation.
Proven 26ai Methodology Our teams have completed an internal Oracle EBS + Oracle Database 26ai proof of concept, developed upgrade runbooks, and validated the upgrade path for EBS environments, before engaging with customers.
Modernization on Your Terms We support on-premises, hybrid, OCI, and managed infrastructure environments. Your roadmap should align to your business priorities, not external pressure to migrate or rebuild.
ITC Approach
IT Convergence does not deliver pre-packaged modernization contracts. We work with you to understand your current environment, define a sequenced upgrade path, and build a roadmap that balances AI readiness, operational continuity, and long-term Oracle investment.
Structured Upgrade Sequencing
Clear path from your current database release to 26ai, with defined steps, validated tooling, and EBS compatibility confirmed before work begins.
Right-Shore Delivery
Combine resources from onshore, offshore, and nearshore delivery centers based on project complexity, budget, and timeline requirements.
Business Continuity First
Low staff attrition, documented methodologies, and retained institutional knowledge across engagements, so transitions are stable and teams remain consistent.
Phased Modernization
Modernize incrementally. Start with the database upgrade, then enable AI use cases as the environment matures, without requiring a big-bang transformation.
