  9. Technology Roadmap Trillium-Data Cleansing

  10. Combined Project Scope • Upgrade Siebel Sales from 6.3 the 7.8 platform, Streamline the Sales process from Lead Generation to Account, Opportunity and Forecast Management, thru New License and Renewal Quote/Order • Implement State of the Art Business Intelligence (Oracle BI), replacing the legacy reporting solution (Business Objects & Excel) • Perform up front Customer Cleansing using Trillium, Siebel Account Merge and Oracle TCA tools; Incorporate Trillium RTC into Siebel SFA • Implement the Oracle Customer Data Base Hub, standardize on key Customer attributes common to Siebel SFA and Oracle EBS • Implement Oracle’s SOA Suite, re-Architecting the integration process and data flow between Siebel SFA and Oracle EBS

Etc. as needed…

  13. Siebel Upgrade (6.3 to 7.8) • Perform a Global AS-IS review; US, EMEA, APAC, Japan Teams • Focus on driving a common process • Fix Performance woes outside the States • Determine the need for Offline Client • Consolidate Quote/Order in Siebel • Sales Support/Renewals & OM on the Same System • Opportunity for Check & Balances before Transmission to ERP • Out of the box capabilities Siebel UI • Standard functionality • Exception was Quoting • Multiple Proposal Templates, Complex Product Structure • Technical Upgrade/Conversion • Full Historical Data Conversion • Iterative Process, Practice makes Perfect • Accounts, Quote, Contacts MUST match • Training Plan • Develop Online Help • Training Logistics & Delivery • Don’t underestimate!

  14. What we didn’t get to • Quote Approval via Siebel • Sales Management, Legal and Finance approval prior to sending out a Customer Quote • Processed managed outside the system (for now) • Product Configurator • WRS has a highly complex Product Hierarchy • Opted for a “Catalog” structure • Product Hierarchy as a follow on project • Marketing Web Leads • Remains a manual process • Next Phase (I promise!) • Outlook Integration • Next Phase (I really promise!)

  15. Business Intelligence • Separate DB, Seamless Experience • Separate DB, Server, refreshed hourly from SFA • Access is based on Sales Visibility; AM up through EVP • Seamless access via Connected mode, just another tab in SFA • Focused on Forecast Pipeline • Big Splash with the Business • Available 24x7, Connected mode only • No waiting on the Forecast Report, No churning through Excel • Full Transparency of Information up through the Sales Hierarchy • IT Owns the Infrastructure and Integration, Business Owns Reporting! • As Expected, the new Solution caused increased demand • BI is Oracle’s Warehouse Solution • Fits WRS roadmap for Enterprise Reporting

  16. Data Cleansing Approach • Establish Standards and Definitions • Define & Set the Attributes for Customer • Apply Customer Definition to Siebel SFA and Oracle EBS • Set the Baseline • How Many Duplicates do we have? at what Level? (Party, Account, Site) • Set and Communicate Cleansing Goals (remember, you’re never finished!) • Dedicate Resource(s) to the Customer Data Stewart Role • Full time position, Cross-Functional, Position of Influence • Begin the Merge • Involve and Train Key Team members in TCA • Credit, Invoicing, Order Management • Supervise Production Merges • Don’t forget your GEOs! • Choose the Cleansing Tool • Trillium • Batch Cleansing process using Global Postal Directories • Refine, Refine, Refine

  17. Customer Database Hub • Driven from the Customer Standards Discussions • Apply the Attribute Model • Account Name, Address, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Hub Xref ID • Common to Siebel and Oracle EBS • Define your Matching Rule set in DQM • How Loose or Tight should the Matching be? • WRS took a Conservative Approach, Exact Match • Load Process • Coordinated the effort with Trillium Cleansing • Loaded Subset of Cleansed Records into the Hub for end to end Testing • Independently performed Full volume Loads from Siebel and EBS

  18. SOA Approach • Define Highest Value Integrations • Customer Interface, New Customer Only • No Changes to Customer Acct - Oracle EBS is the Master • License Quote to Order (Product/Services Sales) • Renewals Quote to Service Contract • Mapping Implications • Single-Org Structure in Siebel, Multi-Org in EBS • Bi-Directional Mapping Requirements • Error Handling, Presenting a meaningful message • Integrating Systems, Integrating Teams • Functionality • New Customer Creation • EBS Party, Account, Bill-To, Ship-To, Sold-To • Notifications/Transmission • Automated Credit Check Notification for New Customers • Transmit Directly to Oracle OM & Service Contract, Book and Ship • Order Status sent back to Siebel

  19. SOA Challenges • Change Management • Systems and Processes are now highly connected and dependent • Business Teams & IT need to Plan and Execute together • Initial Increase in Credit Check Notifications • Major change from informal Process to Automated • Due to our Tight Matching Rules • Manual Check in OCO Required to Validate Customer • Process Adoption • Took a little time to get comfortable with • Old (obsolete) processes still performed • Training fixed this

  20. Project Timeline

  21. Deployment Plan • Three Dry Runs prior to Production Cutover • To get the timing and dependencies straight • Estimated Four Day Cutover • Production Cutover Timing – November 7 to 11 • Apply Trillium Cleansed Data to EBS, Siebel 6.3 • Perform the Siebel Upgrade 7.8 • Implement Production SOA, CDB Hub Platform • Perform Customer Database Hub Load • Validate Siebel • Validate the Hub • Validate Customer, Quote to Order, Quote to Service Contract Integration • Load Business Intelligence, Validate the data • Take a deep Breath • Go Live!

  22. Project Lessons • Think Twice (no three Times!) about merging independent initiatives into one Enterprise effort • For WRS, it was Foundational for the Future • Know your project dependencies • Parallel activities such as cleaning customer information while testing the capabilities of the Database Hub – “Crossing a bridge while building it” • Be flexible and willingness to change • Changes in Business Practices and Processes • Changes in Roles, new Heroes emerge • Applies to IT, understand the responsibilities of each team and execute as one

  23. Critical Success Factors • Gain strong Cross-Functional buy-in from the Executive level down, and a willingness to shift from “That’s how we do things” • Deliver the projects on time, with promised capabilities, focus on the end Goal • Deliver on the Upgrade, Customer Integration Platform • Nearly 30% of our Accounts match between Siebel and EBS • Make sure you have the Post-Implementation Support Plan in place • Elicit open and constructive feedback from the Business, the Good, the Bad, etc. • Communicate, communicate, communicate!

  24. Future Plans and Projects • Short Term • Automate Customer Verification from Siebel Quote, Order • Verify before Transmitting Order to EBS • Streamline the Customer Merge Process • Continue with Customer Cleansing… • Continually Track Metrics, Show Progress • Expand the Siebel, BI Footprint • Implement Siebel Marketing, Marketing Analytics • Targeted Marketing, Opt-In, Automate Lead Gen • Automate Deal Approvals, Agreements • Outlook Integration • Apply SOA capabilities to Customer Service
