A SIEBEL CASE STUDY
Industry: Hi-Tech
Service Areas: Application migration & Integration, upgrade and ASM
Topology: Siebel 8.0; Data Consolidation & Integration; Data Mapping
Upgrade 7.X to 8.X
CLIENT
A leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and dynamic publishing solutions to more than 50,000 customers worldwide. For more than two decades, It has delivered industry-leading software solutions to enterprise and small business customers spanning multiple industries..
Required a technology partner to work together with its US based configuration team, to upgrade its existing Siebel 7.8 version to Siebel 8.0. This complex task also involved upgrading RDBMS and Third party software. This required highly specialized Technical and functional skills.
The key driver is that the initial engagement was required to be completed by July 2008, and HCL had very limited time to perform the upgrade implementation plan to specific timelines and schedules
CHALLENGES / OBJECTIVES
HCL was given very limited time within which to understand the existing business process and functional requirements and had a tight time line to deliver this upgrade.
Assessing the existing Siebel environment and evaluate the complexity involved to perform upgrade
Assess Business process and functional redesign
Evaluate the methodology adopted for performing ICL repository merge on custom modified UI objects.
Thorough knowledge on the siebel 8.0 Upgrade process and Post-Upgrade tasks for successful implementation
THE SOLUTION
Created an effective assessment document based on thorough understanding of their existing business process and prior upgrades performed.
Implemented upgrade process based on the HCL COE upgrade methodology.
Created templates and checklists to effectively track the upgrade process
Ensured Siebel recommended best practices were implemented
Created User Manuals and Design Documents for the Configuration team (including design best practices) and provided training
RESULTS / BENEFITS
Tremendous technical & cost advantages for our client. Our success has led to an increased scope in work, with the company contracting HCL for additional engagements across its vast technology landscape
New project(s) – Siebel PRM Portal implementation
Ramp up of the HCL team from 3 to 10+ members

CLIENT
Our client has World headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia, and global operations serving customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia; Provides software tools and hardware components used by OEMs worldwide; Was using Siebel 7.5.2 for Sales, Service, Lead and Partner Management processes, but the implementation had functionality and performance issues; HCL engaged to conduct assessment study and make recommendations for new Architecture; Initial consulting engagement escalates to BPR and an upgrade to the latest version in the market at that time - Siebel 7.8
CHALLENGES / OBJECTIVES
(HCL undertook an in-depth assessment study which revealed several key pain points in process, technology, administration, and user adoption areas)
To improve the process in relation to Order Management (with a single order entry process for all channels)
To create a central storage of very high quality Master Data (along with appropriate Customer & Product strategies)
To upgrade to Siebel 7.8 – a version that was completely new in the market, with minimum impact to the overall project plan
Complex team dynamics that would test the HCL offshore delivery methodology to its limit – Multiple team synchronization to deliver a single roll out for the entire implementation
THE SOLUTION
Process & Technical diagnosis of the existing Siebel implementation, and proposed recommendations for a new architecture
Upgraded the entire Siebel 7.5.3 implementation to Siebel 7.8 – the latest version in the market at the time
Redesigned the Order Management module to reduce existing Customizations and make it more OOTB
Re-engineered the Product Master module to implement a single Master System (this included interacting with systems like SAP & DWH)
Re-engineered the Customer Master module to implement a single source and master for Accounts & Contact records, within the framework of various interacting systems (like SAP & DWH)
