This is a two step process. First you upgrade to 11.5.10 then you run all your checks and balances to make sure everything got moved over correctly before moving on. Once all the checks are done then you continue the upgrade from 11.5.10 to R12.1.3 which is the final step.

What they like about Oracle America Inc.(Client Was County Of San Diego, San Diego, California):

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
