OUM vs. AIM: Oracle Unified Methodology vs. Application Implementation Methodology


This article maps the most commonly used documents in the AIM Methodology to those in the OUM or Oracle Unified Method methodology. In this sense, this will be of some use to those who implement Oracle Applications using the age-old AIM, but have been asked by client to implement using OUM. 

This is by no means a comprehensive or even an authoritative list. For Partners who have access, the complete listing of such documents can be found on Oracle Partner Website.
