Oracle documentation methodology

Oracle Corporation formalized an Application Implementation Method (AIM) in
1994 to support its rapidly growing consulting organization and the first
shipments of release 10 to the Applications. Prior to AIM, Oracle
consultants used something called Application Implementation Plan (AIP) for
release 9 implementation projects. Because AIP was nothing more than a huge
list of project tasks, AIM was a big improvement.

AIM provides the Oracle consultant with an integrated set of templates,
procedures, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, and project plans for
implementing the applications. AIM was such a success, Oracle created a
subset of the templates called it AIM Advantage and made it available as a
product to customers and other consulting firms.
