21Data 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,
youre 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
- Dont forget your GEOs!
- Choose the Cleansing Tool
- Trillium
- Batch Cleansing process using Global Postal
Directories
22Customer 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
23SOA 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
24SOA 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
25Project Timeline
26Deployment Plan

27Project 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

information while testing the capabilities of the
Database Hub Crossing a bridge while building
it - Be flexible and willingness to change

- Applies to IT, understand the responsibilities of
each team and execute as one
28Critical Success Factors
- Gain strong Cross-Functional buy-in from the
Executive level down, and a willingness to shift
from Thats 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!
