SECTION 1 – Management Summary

Choosing a system without paying careful attention to the implementation methodology is

somewhat akin to choosing a hospital for cardiac surgery based on its architecture but

ignoring the experience of the surgeon. No one selects surgery based solely on the hospital,

yet countless organization chooses systems based exclusively on architecture and

functionality.

The results are predictable. The new system is installed, orders get placed, product is shipped

and invoices get paid. Yet no one is really happy with the result. Quality of life at work

decline while employees climb the learning curve. What happened? A Contractor was

selected that provided a sound product BUT lacked a solid team of implementers and a

proven implementation methodology.

Successful implementation of a system depends on partnering with a trusted and competent

software provider. From the outset, and throughout the relationship, WMK should offer

process improvement suggestions based on its knowledge of BDPC’s business and

objectives. With the right partner, the system is maximized, the strength of each partner is

leveraged and significant benefits ensue.

A number of criteria should top the list in evaluating our proposal:

An Implementation Plan That will ensure success

A successful implementation should begin almost as soon as BDPC begins to communicate

with WMK. Not only are challenges, needs and goals articulated at the very beginning,

specific about the organization’s structure and culture are communicate.

A clear understanding of BDPC business

WMK totally understands the business environment of BDPC. We can identify the business

processes and challenges that are basis for selecting the right vendor for this job. As short

term and long term goals are described, WMK is able to show how their people and the

software can accomplish those goals, step by step.

Page 2: Full

A change agent

The success of the implementation depends on an organization’s openness to change. Change

is not always embraced by all individuals, so the first step is to ensure that the BDPC – top

management supports the vision, the selection of the vendor and the implementation project

from commencement to completion. WMK should possess the ability to lead BDPC

confidently and rapidly through the change process as a Change Agent. One who can explain

near-term and long term benefits of the proposed changes, while being sensitive to each

employee’s level of change acceptance.

Section 3 : Implementation Services

The methodology adopted by WMK for this project is the Implementation Methodology

model. Knowing what to expect during and after implementation can circumvent many

problems. We must be able to articulate and document the specific of the implementation

process and should be thorough. In a well constructed methodology, we should conduct a

formal survey of the organization to gain a comprehensive understanding of the business

environment and goals and be able to clearly delineate them in a report or profile. As a check

for both the contractor and organization, the written profile should be referred to throughout

the implementation process and should be used as a road map in setting expectations,

guidelines and direction.

There are seven (7) stages in this model:

a) Discovery

b) Strategy

c) Business Analysis

d) Education

e) Application Configuration

f) Readiness assessment

g) Deployment

Implementation Planning From the outset

In this model, implementation planning begins before the prospect becomes a client. With the

early involvement of an implementation manager (Project Manager), a smooth transition

from order to implementation can be expected. This resource provides an understanding of

the typical implementation life cycle, milestone events, terminology and all other details of

the project.

Factors influencing Implementation Success in the Twenty-First Century

Experience

Experience is a valuable commodity and a vital ingredient for guaranteeing the success of any

major project. More than consultants who know their product, implementation consultant

should have extensive actual experience in addressing the day-to-day issues with which

organization are confronted.

Because these implementation consultants must be able to advise, instruct, apply creative

solutions, resolve process issues and leverage the organization’s resource.

Project Management

Next to selecting the right software solution, the planning and overall administration of an

implementation project may be the most important part of the business systems initiative. For

many organization, a software implementation project occurs once, maybe twice, in a tenure

of its employees. Organization often have staffing constraint and/or limited experience in

implementing software and are not prepared to lead their own implementation efforts.

Resource coordination, project planning, team organization and leadership, process re-

engineering, problem resolution, communications, and more are all essential to the success of

an implementation project. It is the key to completing the projects on time and on budget. It

can eliminate surprises at go-live versus a project that costs substantially more than original

estimates and doesn’t satisfy the need of an organization.

Business Process Re-engineering

Business process re-engineering (BPR) is the analysis and design of workflows and processes

within and between organizations. It seeks radical improvement of processes rather than a

focus on incremental change and gradual improvement of processes around desired outcomes

rather than desired tasks. It integrates information processing work into the real work that

produces the information. Information technology becomes the enabler of the process re-

engineering.

15

Page 16: Full

A model BPR methodology employs six steps:

a) Develop and define the business vision and operating objectives

b) Identification of high – impact processes to be redesigned

c) Detailed documentation of existing processes and performance metrics

d) Identify information technologies that will influence process design

e) Design and prototype the new processes

f) Implement the new processes.

Database Conversion

The migration of data from one or more legacy systems into the new database is an integral

part of every implementation project. Whether straight-forward or complex, WMK will

prepare to work with BDPC personnel to develop a solid strategy for converting these data

for use in the new system.

Education and Training that empowers

The key element missing in many “template-driven” implementations is education. This is

the driving force in moving an organization beyond marginal benefits to a significant returns

on investment. With education, users learn to use the system beyond order-taking or

inventory tracking. They gain understanding in how to use the system to shorten response

cycles, improve cash flows and increase productivity.

Success Factors

Implementing a software project is large undertaking. It is much more that just installing new

software. Considerations include:

Resource commitment

Plan to assemble a cross-functional team to assess processes, recommend improvements and

guide the implementation.

16

Page 17: Full

New technology

The new technology infrastructure may be different from your existing system and the IT

manager or system administrator will likely need education to make the transition. Users

across the organization may be less efficient as they adjust to new entry displays and

functionality. During this time, employees may need reminders of the benefits the new

technology will bring within a short time as they use it.

Summary

Implementing a software is more than just technology. It is an investment in the business and

its people. It is not difficult to place a system within an organization and let them try to use it

with training “how-tos”. What is more challenging is implementing the system into a

company’s culture where it becomes an integral part of developing a business and fulfilling a

vision. The latter takes an investment in time and resources.

Carefully evaluate their plans to see if they are really just installing or actually implementing.

Partnering with a software provider who is committed to its clients’ success and has the

experience and methodology to help achieve that success, ensures that maximum return will

be realized on the technology investment.

Crystal Reports 2008

"Professional Reporting. Unbeatable Pricing. Unmatched Value".

Crystal Reports by Business Objects, an SAP Company, is known as the software when it

comes to enterprise database reporting: creating flexible, feature-rich and dependable reports

for the Web or various enterprise applications.

For anyone who may not yet have come in contact with this best-selling software, Crystal

Reports 2008* is an intuitive and powerful software product for turning raw data into

corporate decision-making information, all in a visually pleasing package. The makers of

Crystal Reports, Business Objects, claim that it “brings excitement into reporting”, and even

though we may not go that far (after all, it’s work we’re talking about, and you’re not

supposed to enjoy work, right…?), we do agree that this software is a great tool, making

reporting far more pleasurable than it otherwise would be.

Crystal Reports Features & Benefits

Crystal Reports 2008 gives you tons of time-saving tools for increased productivity and

visualization flexibility. Here are some of the main benefits of this popular product:

Advanced capabilities for information visualization.

The end user viewing experience has been significantly improved.

New flexible report deployment options - view reports online, offline, within

application or on-demand on CrystalReports.com.

Flexible application integration, e.g. with Xcelsius, Adobe Flash, and Adobe Flex.

More streamlined and flexible report designer for increased productivity.

Display reports in nearly any industry-standard format, including PDF and XML.

New “what-if” functionality makes it possible to change report variables for

hypothetical scenarios.

Reports are now tied to more of a business process allowing you to make decisions

and perform tasks directly from within the report, e.g. order more inventory!

19

Page 20: Full

Crystal Reports 2008 is Better Than Ever

Like with every new edition, Crystal Reports has gone through huge improvements for the

2008 version. One of the biggest steps forward is the integration with Crystal Xcelsius,

which is another very popular piece of software from Business Objects and a companion

product for creating rich, interactive charts and dashboards. Crystal Reports now also features

Adobe Flash and Flex technologies, making it possible to embed Flash, Flex and Xcelsius

applications directly in the software.

Other significant enhancements in Crystal Reports 2008 include a much improved end-user

experience, for example through new visualization options, more robust Web services

capabilities, on-report interactive parameters, and what-if scenario modeling.

Powerful Features includes :

Interactive report viewing experience: End users can sort, filter, and reformat reports dynamically within the report viewers (supported in the .NET Webform and .NET Winform), all without forcing a database refresh—and answer more business questions with fewer report files.

On-report scenario modeling: Access a powerful, dynamic decision support tool when you integrate SWF content files from Xcelsius (not included) into your SAP Crystal Reports web applications.

Operational reporting: Make your reports actionable by integrating FlexBuilder applications that provide business-user UI widgets to perform tasks such as database write-back and workflow integration.

Advanced report publishing: Publish personalized reports such as invoices, statements, and other marketing materials to thousands of recipients in a single publishing session. Create multiple reports based on different data sources, loaded with data, personalized for each recipient, combined into a single file (such as PDF), then distributed to a dynamic list of recipients – all with a single action. Content can be optionally archived, printed, or emailed.

Report design: Use the visual report designer for rapid data access and creation of highly formatted reports. New crosstab formulas reduce report design time by supporting custom calculations for rows and columns.

Data access: Native, ODBC, OLE DB, and JDBC connectivity to relational, OLAP, web services, XML, legacy, and enterprise data sources, and the new salesforce.com driver.

20

Page 21: Full

Application integration: SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (included) makes it easy to add reports to your application. You can drag and drop viewer components into your .NET Winform or Webform projects and use the SDKs to control report viewing, printing, exporting, plus programming report creation and modification. Deploy your application with the SAP Crystal Reports runtime using either merge modules (MSMs) or a separate standalone MSI setup file.

Free runtime licensing: You won’t have to pay additional licensing fees for multiple servers or CPUs with the royalty-free runtime license for unlimited internal corporate deployment of the SAP Crystal Reports .NET report engine components.

Single edition:SAP Crystal Reports comes in a single edition that meets the broadest range of user and application requirements. It replaces three Crystal Reports XI editions: Standard, Professional and Developer.
