Intelligence Enterprise Edition 10g

• Oracle Database 11g• Oracle Exadata

• Oracle JD Edwards 9.1• Oracle Incentive

Compensation• Informatica Power

Center 9.1

Challenges• Revenues from online sales were dismal• Competitors were far ahead in eBusiness

space – need to play “catch-up” to win• Our customers expect online and mobile

capability - we were not meeting expectations• Web profiles and Siebel CRM were not

integrated

Business Goals• Deliver 10x increase in revenue from eBusiness channel

by 2016• Target revenue sources: Memberships, Food and Product

Sales• Provide a “seamless” program experience for offline and

online members– Planning and Tracking of meals, activity, mindset, and weight

loss– Menu plan and a la carte ordering– Purchase Food Online or in-Center

• Provide Marketing with a 360°view of members

Approaches We Considered1. Continue to build out our existing, home

grown .net e-commerce site2. Add a low cost, off-the-shelf e-commerce

component such as Magento, Storefront, etc.3. Deploy Oracle Commerce (ATG) 10.1 with

personalization, segmentation, targeting, merchandising, and content management

Why we selected Oracle Commerce• Robust, best-of-breed components • Architected to support higher volume and

revenue growth• Business-enabling features (BCC)– content management– merchandising– customer service

• Powerful integration layer

Core Application Stack (After)• Oracle Siebel 8.0.0.13• Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 10g• Oracle Database 11g– Exadata

• Oracle JD Edwards World 9.1• Oracle Incentive Compensation• Informatica Power Center 9.1• Oracle ATG • Oracle eStara Click-to-Call, Click-to-Chat• Oracle Managed Cloud Services

System Context (New)

Design Goals• Leverage our existing Oracle and third-party

application stack• Maintain Siebel as master for Contact, Product,

Pricing, and Order• Administer once, deploy to all channels• Enable the business – limited IT involvement• Scale to support a $200M online business• Out-of-the-box, out-of-the-box, out-of-the box…

Our Line of Attack• Integrate Siebel and ATG, taking into account

– Data Center security requirements (OMCS)– Third party integrations– Siebel data mastering – Temporal data needs– Omni-channel usage– Maximum flexibility for eBusiness department around

promotions, pricing• Everything sent from ATG to Siebel using native Siebel web

services (SOAP).• Everything sent from Siebel to ATG using batch interfaces

New Metrics

New Experience• > 90% of day-to-day changes can be made by

eBusiness team (in the BCC or Siebel)• New center member is automatically enrolled in

Website• Improved member experience: – New members purchasing online are recognized when

they walk into the Center – Existing members are recognized by website when they

register

• Marketing has a 360 view of all member activity!

Lessons Learned• Make sure to have a solution architect with good understanding

of Siebel and ATG.• Use real-time or near-real-time interfaces whenever necessary

(batch processes create timing issues).• Oracle Managed Cloud Services provides many benefits but adds

a level of complexity to plan for.• Log ALL transactions at each potential break point.• Send more data than you think you need (both ways).• Picking one system (Siebel) as the master let us leverage our

existing systems and processes.• Siebel and ATG are highly complementary to each other in our

application stack.

What’s Next?• Order online, pick up in Center• Integrations for Attribution Modeling• New member referral program• Shared credit card tokenization• Integrated social media• Integrated weight loss journey, tools• MDM, Marketing, Loyalty…
