Sourced artificial intelligence and software context
Models, products, and production services: Oracle EBS
The City of San Jose identifies artificial intelligence as a priority growth sector and includes AI training and job-matching programs in its fiscal year 2025 to 2026 economic plan. Translate the operating setting into operating units, ledgers, inventory organizations, responsibilities, workflows, and module setup. Ask the consultant to explain how the design affects transactions and accounting. AI product work can join source data, models, application code, evaluation, user feedback, cost controls, access rules, and production support under separate owners.
Evidence to request: Use a cross-module process case and require organization, configuration, responsibility, workflow, interface, and accounting decisions. Define the user decision, model boundary, source data, evaluation set, deployment path, access control, cost target, failure response, and approving product owner.
Sourced semiconductors and advanced manufacturing context
Engineering, fabrication, and supply controls: Oracle EBS
A July 2025 City of San Jose economic-development release names advanced manufacturing and semiconductors among the industries the city plans to attract, retain, and grow. Define ownership for interfaces, conversions, reports, extensions, workflows, APIs, and database objects. Require evidence from a comparable custom object with support and upgrade consequences. Semiconductor and manufacturing programs may connect product definitions, equipment, process recipes, production schedules, quality results, suppliers, inventory, maintenance, and cost records.
Evidence to request: Review a RICE object or production defect with code or setup, logs, data impact, correction, testing, and deployment control. Set the design or plant boundary, product revision, process control, equipment interface, traceability unit, quality release, supplier handoff, change window, and support owner.
Sourced data centers and energy infrastructure context
Capacity, continuity, and facility operations: Oracle EBS
San Jose's July 2026 large energy-use project page distinguishes data centers from research laboratories, advanced manufacturing sites, electric-vehicle charging hubs, and other power-intensive facilities. Set patching, testing, cutover, incident, and migration duties. Candidates should cover dependencies, clones, concurrent jobs, open transactions, reconciliations, fallback, and transfer to support. These facilities can combine power, cooling, networks, physical security, capacity, asset maintenance, environmental controls, backup systems, and tenant or workload commitments.
Evidence to request: Ask for an EBS upgrade, patch, or migration cycle the consultant owned, including prerequisites, downtime, validation, exceptions, and recovery. Name the facility and workload boundary, capacity unit, power and cooling dependencies, availability target, access model, maintenance path, recovery test, and change authority.
