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 elements:  The 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 common and unique applications  The portalization of GLOCO’s Order Management System  End user training materials designed for the end user community.

Risk and Mitigation 10 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems Risk 1:  The owners of legacy applications may have a difficult time accepting the perceived loss of their applications Mitigation 1:  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. Risk 2  Managing change is a crucial part of any transition Mitigation 2  User buy-in more efficient and quicker

Risk and Mitigation (cont.) 11 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems Risk 3:  Delay in the response from the applications via WebCenter Mitigation 3:  Moving applications and databases into corporate datacenter  Use ajax Risk 4:  Security will become a more serious issue when there are multiple applications that are being ported Mitigation 4:  WebCenter’s robust security model will help

Success Metrics 12 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems  The introduction of the portal will provide measurable benefits to GLOCO.  Success criteria will be measured by using Oracle WebCenter Analytics.  The Analytics tool allows administrators to create usage reports for any custom application or portal.  The analytics will help administrators determine usage by numerous factors including application and page, content, Group Spaces. Success:  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.

Success Metrics (cont.) 13 ISMT E-200 Trends in Enterprise Information Systems Success:  Support cost will decrease by 60% after the first year Measurement:  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.
