TV ROLLOUTS: SAP AND ARIBA IMPLEMENTATION
October 3, 2013
Executive Summary
2
Task: This initiative is to bring 20 SPT International entities that have either been formed or acquired over the past several years onto SAP & ARIBA with full functionality (including the integration with Payroll and Concur). These entities need to be operational on SAP so they can operate efficiently, meet compliance requirements and institute standard internal controls available to finance and accounting. The following 8 entities are the key focus for this greenlight
TV Prod – Cairo, TV Prod – Lebanon, TV Prod – Dubai, Argentina TV-N, SET – Brazil, AXN – Japan, SET Generadora – Argentina, Scarlet Media (JV UK Prod)
Approach: Each roll-out will leverage a similar implementation model and design that has previously been employed in its respective territory. Design for new territories utilize the Global SAP Design Template as a foundation. Statutory requirements and requirements for any RICEF components will be reviewed and accommodated as part of the design and implementation.
Implementation Strategy:As per previous SAP rollouts:
– Gather Requirements: Project team will conduct workshops with local teams to gather and confirm requirements as well as conduct fit/gap analysis
– Configuration: Phases of configuration and testing will be progressed through SAP test clients followed by formal user testing. Master data build and user signoff will occur in test clients RQA and BQA.
– User Training: Training will be provided at the SPE facilities and/or on site.– Local Expertise: We will engage local experts for design, configuration, and implementation as needed– Support: SGS and Home Office on and off-site support will be provided at go-live as needed
Critical Business Dates:Network connectivity required by the end of the 1st month of implementation for SAP implementation (please refer to timeline for go-live dates)
Key Drivers
3
Currently our non-integrated ITV entities:
Have no systemic COFA structure in place Are not integrated with our Corporate financial systems, SAP,
Ariba, Concur and Payroll Are at risk of fraud through lack of visibility and transparency to
local books Are at risk for system controls to validate that financial and
operational transactions are in compliance Are at risk for potential related party transactions Follow inconsistent processes and procedures
Its imperative to implement an integrated system to enable real time financial and operational reporting, increased financial controls, and consistency in
financial processes and procedures

* Arabia rollout consists of 3 legal entities. Estimates were derived based upon the actuals incurred to roll out Russia Prod and Networks as these rollouts are similar in nature in the respect that SPE SAP does not currently have a footprint in this territory and complexity is anticipated as high.

High-level Risks• Business Engagement is critical to ensure processes and systems are robust and
adopted. • Responsiveness of and coordination with banking partners is critical to ensure
deadlines are adhered to and deliverables with dependencies on banks are completed in a timely manner
• Strong control over the functional and technical scope will be critical. Seemingly small scope changes can have unforeseen impacts on timeline, cost, and quality, particularly if implemented after the completion of design.
• Network connectivity must be set-up and tested by the end of the 1st month of the implementation to ensure we can implement SAP and Ariba.
• Concurrent roll-outs within and across territories will result in overlap of resource needs
• SGS non-dedicated resources and Asia-Pac territory support staff will be key to testing, training and overall support, but have competing priorities
• Finance function relocation to GBS may present project risks• Local resource availability is critical to project success for some territories (e.g.,
Russia)
