Recently i am confused with terms "Customization", "Extension" and "Personalization", so i serached in google find so
many definitions. Here is the Details
AIM (Applications Implementation Methodology)
OUM (Oracle Unified Method)
OUM is Oracle's Method Integration Strategy. It supports methods currently being used by Oracle customers including Compass, AIM, ABF, Siebel. OUM has been developed as a single, integrated method to support the entire Oracle
ecosystem and across the complete suite of Oracle products. The aim is to decommission all legacy methods as every
Oracle product group transitions to OUM. OUM is product and technology agnostic. Oracle is evolving the Oracle
Unified Method (OUM) to achieve the vision of supporting the entire Enterprise IT Lifecycle, including support for the
successful implementation of every Oracle product. OUM replaces Legacy Methods, such as AIM Advantage, AIM for
Business Flows, EMM Advantage, PeopleSoft's Compass, and Siebel's Results Roadmap.
OUM provides an implementation approach that is rapid, broadly adaptive, and business-focused. OUM includes a
comprehensive project and program management framework and materials to support Oracle's growing focus on
enterprise-level IT strategy, architecture, and governance.
While implementing an Oracle ERP system to a client, to meet the client requirements a consultant needs to make
changes to original Vanila system (Unchanged Oracle ERP Implemented system). The changes made to Original
Oracle ERP comes under RICE components.
RICE
During an implementation, development of RICE components involves:
1. Creation of Reports that are not available as standard reports in the oracle apps modules.
2. Creation of the Interfaces to external systems.
3. Creation of Conversion programs to transfer data from a legacy system to the new system.
4. Enhancements (or extensions) to the existing system to add additional functionality to existing system without
disturbing the core software functionality of the system.
RICE terminology has been introduced by Oracle Corporation and later some Oracle consultants has added their own
flavor and introduced some other terminologies like FRICE and RICEW.
FRICE stands for Forms, Reports, Interfaces, Conversions and Enhancements / Extensions
RICEW stands for Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements / Extensions and Workflows
Documenting terminology for RICE components
AIM (Applications Implementation Methodology) is documenting structure introduced by Oracle Corporation which is
used through out the life cycle of a RICE component object. Process in AIM methodology includes approval to develop,
functional design specification, technical design specification, coding, testing and implementation.
CEMLI
later in 2007, in Release 12 Oracle corporation has extended the RICE components and introduced a new terminology
called CEMLI components.
CEMLI is an ERP software extension framework provided in Oracle Applications by Oracle Corporation.
CEMLI Stands for Configurations/Customization, Extension, Modification, Localization, and Integration.
"Oracle defined the CEMLI Framework, which translates into 20 classes of extensions that customers can add to their
Oracle systems."

The framework was established by Oracle On Demand to categorize customizations, meaning software that had to be
added by the customer or implementer to the Oracle applications.
Configurations : Configure the existing, pre-built application features according to your clients requirement.Changing
setups and profile values can be the example of configurations.
Customization : Customization means altering/changing the standard objects or creation of custom object to meet
clients business need. It may be Extensions or Modifications.
Extensions : Extension means creating custom code from scratch, existing objects (views, packages and java classes
etc) can be used. It is having different behaviour from seeded one.
Modifications : Modifications is enhancing/changing the existing code to meet the clients requirements. It is the
modification of seeded behaviour.
Localization : It is to define the different legislative support provided by oracle Applications based on
country/region/language requirements.
Integration : It can be Data Integration or Application Integration, options for these two are Open Interface tables, APIs,
EAI(Enterprise Application Integration Tools), BPEL, AQ, EDI etc.
OUM (Oracle Unified Method) which is introduced by Oracle corporation after 2007 to standardize the documentation
process for almost all products from oracle which includes Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Performance
Management (EPM), WebCenter, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Application Integration Architecture (AIA),
Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Integration and Custom Software.
