GLOCO – Integrated Corporate Portal Part 3 – Implementation Plan Presented by Team 3 1 Team 3 Members: Joyce Torres Kenneth Kittredge Pamela Fisher Ruzhena Saltisky Vishal Nath Instructor: Teaching Assistants: Zoya Kinstler Basem Neseim Valar Jayaprakash ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems

GLOCO’s acquisition of three other companies has resulted in an IT infrastructure that is maintaining four independent systems. There are duplicate applications and services. Employees currently must access multiple portals to perform their work. GLOCO needs to provide a single access point to reduce costs and improve employee productivity. The CIO requested an infrastructure improvement project RFP to address this issue. 2 Problem Statement

Scope 3 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems The implementation of the portal will include the following:  Portal design and configuration to support each of GLOCOs major divisions.  The portalization of GLOCO’s Travel Search application.  The implementation of the Oracle WebCenter Suite client and set up for all GLOCO users.  Configuration of WebCenter Services.  Configuration of WebCenter Spaces.  The portalization of all GLOCO applications currently in use.  The portalization of GLOCO’s Order Management System.  Training materials designed for the end user community.

Not In Scope 4 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems This project will not include:  In-depth technical training for developers or support staff for Oracle WebCenter Suite 11g.  The Purchase or installation of servers, load balancers, operating systems and miscellaneous associated software and hardware.  Migration of databases from remote sites to GLOCO corporate headquarters.  Support after the warranty period.  Changes other than portalization to applications that will be incorporated into the portal.  The portalization of applications not currently in use.

Training 5 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems  Training is available online.  Adobe Captivate 5 - create WebCenter Suite demonstration modules  Modules will cover many topics such as navigation, use of blogs, wiki’s, RSS, group spaces, search, collaboration tools, and how to customize screens  Modules available online a month prior to cutover  A help desk will be established when the modules are made  s will keep employees informed of training and timeline for implementation  Initial overview training - conducted onsite for programmers at corporate headquarters.

Risk and Mitigation 10 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems  The owners of legacy applications may have a difficult time accepting the perceived loss of their applications Mitigation: The applications need to be manage by the same group that managed them before. A service level agreement should be signed between the application owners and GLOCO corporate.  Managing change is a crucial part of any transition Mitigation: A training program on portal use will be instituted prior to, during, and after implementation to ease the users transition.

Risk and Mitigation (cont.) 11 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems  Delay in the response from the applications via WebCenter Mitigation: Move applications and databases into corporate datacenter. And, use ajax (or similar technologies) in application development.  Security on the portal is a major concern. Mitigation: Implement WebCenter’s robust security model.  Delays by either GLOCO or A2TI could affect the timeline. Mitigation: Weekly meetings will enable the team to monitor progress and communicate concerns.

Success Metrics 12 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems The introduction of the portal will provide measurable benefits to GLOCO.  Applications will see a 100% adoption rate in the first year if they remove all other access to their applications. Measurement: WebCenter Analytics enable us to determine portal adoption, application use, and collaboration rates by tracking user visits to each page.  Support cost will decrease by 60% after the first year The cost to maintain an application will be measured by determining the number of applications being supported one year after implementation and the total support costs before and after implementation.
