Site Hub Deployment Options Option #1 – Site Hub and EBS are in One Global Instance Option #2 – E-Business Suite as a Spoke to Site Hub Option #3 – Site Hub only
Site Hub Deployment Options Option #1 – Site Hub and EBS are in One Global Instance Siebel MIDDLEWARE Oracle E-Business Suite with embedded Site Hub SAP Option #1: Spoke Data is continually kept in sync while migrated 1 Time Single Global Instance Vision, Lowering Costs and Increasing Benefits Allows Companies to sunset Legacy systems at any time All Site Data resides in Operational, Transactional EBS – Site Data is Actionable and Real Time Cons: Longer initial implementation timeframe to maintain single source of truth within operational system of EBS Legacy External Apps R12.1
PROs and CONs Option #1 – Site Hub and EBS are in One Global Instance Site Hub provides various integrations: Integration with EAM, Property Manager and Inventory Leverages Trading Community Architecture (CDH) Future Site Hub integration with EBS applications Single source of truth for the global database CONs Patches/Upgrades on EBS may impact Site Hub. System must be sized accordingly to handle multiple work processes (paths)
Site Hub Deployment Options Option #2 – E-Business Suite as a Spoke to Site Hub Siebel MIDDLEWARE SAP Oracle Site Hub Legacy R12.1 External Apps R11.x or R12.0 or R12.1 Oracle E-Business Suite
PROs and CONs Option #2 – E-Business Suite as a Spoke to Site Hub No constraints on Site Hub setup coming from the EBS implementation. Maximum freedom to define the master as needed. Allows implementing organizations to migrate to the single instance model at their own pace, while still taking advantage of a single source of site and customer reality. Patches/Upgrades on Site Hub will not impact on eBS, and vice versa. CONs The Site Hub setup is a separate/additional implementation. Additional integration development and maintenance is required. Pro: Staging area for data supporting work and approval processes due to synchronization process with EBS. Business events in CDH, not Site Hub. Can applications subscribe to CDH business events while subscribing to Site Hubs web service?
Site Hub Deployment Options Option #3 – Site Hub Only Siebel MIDDLEWARE Oracle Site Hub SAP Legacy External Apps R12.1
PROs and CONs Option #3 – Site Hub Only “Pure” site data management solution, which can be the basis for a new SOA compliant Enterprise Application Architecture Allows implementing organizations to begin realizing the value of E-Business Suite functionality, even before they have the E-Business Suite up and running Allows implementing organizations to plug in pieces of the E-Business Suite at their own pace, or keep legacy systems living on if migrating to the E-Business Suite is not an option Provides an easy migration path to single global instance vision CONs Spoke systems continue to live on Continued costs (IT and personnel) associated with maintaining disparate systems, with different technologies and platforms Last con is referring to creating parties, relationships, etc.

Case Study – Model A Large National Postal Services company is going through restructuring. The Govt. has decided to privatize the sector and this company needs to compete with the private vendors. Today, they provide mail delivery to private residents and by law, they are required to serve the complete private resident market. They also serve the mail delivery for corporate market, which may become optional in the future. They serve about 6 million homes in the country. In addition, they can deliver ‘junk’ or ‘advertisement’ mails to only those households who approve it. Mail is delivered via 277 distribution centers. Each distribution center typically handles about 50 routes. Each distribution center has about 15 to 20 mail delivery persons who handle 3 to 4 routes. A route typically covers one zip code, but can go across zip codes. A mail –man stops at about 200 mail stops (in a single route) and delivers mails to one or many mail boxes per mail stop. Today, the relation between mail box, mail stop, and route is the same for the whole week (or even months), but going forward, this co. would like the ability to define the routes differently based on the day of the week e.g. on Saturday, they would only like to serve fewer customer who pay a premium for it or they would like to serve the residential market only 3 days of the week. They also use a route optimization system that optimizes the routes every quarter. They would like to model the mail boxes/stops/routes in the system; they also want to model the residents in the system and create associations. These associations should change when a resident moves or goes on vacation.
