Case Study EBS R12 Upgrade
Business ChallengesClient was looking for a consulting partner that would be able to function in a advisory capacity to help them implementation new business processes and reporting needs for the company. Including a SAP to Oracle 11i migration (for an acquired company) and a migration of all of the consolidated entities to R12.
The primary challenge faced by Haemonetics was transforming an SAP acquisition to an Oracle footprint and then upgrading the consolidated entity to Oracle R12. The successful partner would be able to support the following:• R11 Oracle EBS - Finance, Manufacturing
(Process and Discrete), inventory, Purchasing, OM, Field Service
• Migration of SAP and MAPICS at acquired entities
• BI Implementation• Upgrade of EPM/BI instances• Upgrade of Hyperion/Brio reporting for R12
ApproachRolta laid out a phased and collaborative approach to provide consulting services and to become a strategic partner for Haemonetics. We leveraged our Ri3 Methodology and the Insights, Innovation and Impact solutions that are contained within it to develop our project strategy and planning. Our approach included significant use of Rolta’s global delivery capability to deliver the project and ensure a low TCO impact. Our initial phase was an advisory project to work with them to document and understand all the requirements; and to develop a multi-year transition plan for the acquisition and the upgrade. The Phase 0 work identified the process for the migration and also additional applications for optimization using EPM and OBIEE. The Phase 1 activity was to migrate to SAP (which has been successfully completed) and Phase 2, upgrade to R12 (which has successfully cutover in May 2014). In addition to EBS, Rolta is actively engaged with Haemonetics to provide consulting services for EPM and OBIEE. All of this was managed under one PMO with executive oversight.
ResultsToday, all of Haemonetics uses the Oracle R12 solution to run its business. Project resulted in successful achievement of business and IT goals for the business; completed on-time and on-budget for each phase. Rolta and Haemonetics are in a successful partnership and long-term relationship.• Innovative solution – to meet tight timelines 4
factories migrated to parallel ERP instances with Sales and Financials migrated to Oracle for day 1 readiness (post acquisition)
• After 90 days 2 additional Oracle Operating Units go-live
• In 9 months complete migration from SAP to Oracle
• Release 12 upgrade completed in May 2014 • R12 customization remediation and initial
technical upgrades completed in parallel with SAP to Oracle migration
• Subsequent to the upgrade Rolta completed a POC for Oracle Outsourced Manufacturing and continues to support introduction of Oracle to new sites
Case Study: EBS R12 Upgrade
Business ChallengesACT has an extremely large and complicated Oracle footprint. Modules currently in use at ACT include: Advanced Collections, AP, AR, eBTax, GL, Cash Management, Fixed Assets, Purchasing, Inventory, IStore, iSupplier, Advanced Pricing, Order Management, Projects, Service Contracts, Telesales, Teleservice. Additionally, ACT has a significant amount of custom code to manage its student registration systems which were based on Oracle iStore.
Rolta was asked to help manage the upgrade, provide functional and development resources (both onshore and offshore). In addition, Rolta was asked to provide resources to help stabilize a recent implementation of iSupplier and to do new custom development on an impersonation mitigation system that was introduced during the middle of the R12 upgrade.
ApproachRolta laid out a phased and collaborative approach to provide consulting services. We leveraged our Ri3 Methodology and the Insights, Innovation and Impact solutions that are contained within it to develop our project strategy and planning.
Our approach included significant use of Rolta’s global delivery capability to delivery the project and ensure a low TCO impact for ACT
We developed a plan for a 15 month project and over the fifteen month upgrade, the Rolta and ACT teams work successfully to remediate significant code, develop new code, and execute four testing cycles (3 integration tests, 1 User acceptance test). Rolta was also able to work with ACT to introduce third party tax software integrated to Oracle EBS through for use throughout the Oracle applications.
ResultsToday, all of ACT uses the upgraded Oracle R12 solution to conduct business. The Project resulted in successful achievement of business and IT goals for the business; completed on-time and on-budget for each phase The Rolta and ACT partnership was able to successfully;• Review, improve, and document ACT’s business
processes in the Oracle Release 12 application• Remediate, unit, and integration test all custom
objects in R12• Update training documentation and provide
training to ACT’s super users and end users• Conduct multiple test R12 upgrade and
conference room pilot iterations• Transition both functional and technical
development knowledge to ACT’s team of Oracle analysts and developers
• Stabilize iSupplier (Originally implemented by another vendor)
• Introduce the Impersonation mitigation solution• Introduce a new tax solution integrated with
Oracle EBS
Case Study: EBS R12 Upgrade
Business ChallengesThe primary challenge faced by Regeneron was transforming from a clinical research organization that utilized a small portion of the E-Business footprint to full commercial organization that harnesses the power of the integrated suite of products. Education of the “delta” changes between 11i and R12 was required to determine how to best position the organization to manage future business processes resulting from the rapid growth of the organization and the added complexities of new products, business partners, and emerging markets.
ApproachIn the spring of 2010, Rolta conducted an R12 Upgrade assessment that led to a 6 month R12 Upgrade of the entire E-Business suite that included Process Manufacturing (OPM.) Subsequent project included remediation of customizations impacted by the migration to R12, additional RICE elements, and a 6 month business transformation project initiated in September 2011 to leverage the OPM module for MRP, Manufacturing Execution, and compliance requirements.
ResultsRegeneron was one of the first US based organizations to migrate to R12 using the Oracle OPM Migration path/process defined for existing 11i Process customers. The Rolta partnership successfully allowed the organization to go-live onto R12 after a 6 month engagement, with limited downtime and impact to the business. The success of the upgrade project led to over a dozen subsequent RICE related projects and the selection to assist Regeneron with the OPM/MRP improvement project. As a trusted advisor and partner, Rolta is working closely with the Regeneron leadership team to define a long term strategic roadmap that allows Regeneron to maximize their investment in the R12 suite of applications.
Client Overview
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), through its subsidiaries, operates as a specialty retailer of casual apparel for men, women, and kids. The company sells casual sportswear apparel, including knit and woven shirts, graphic t-shirts, fleece, jeans and woven pants, shorts, sweaters, outerwear, personal care products, and accessories under the Abercrombie & Fitch, Abercrombie Kids, and Hollister brands. It also offers bras, underwear, sleepwear, and at-home products for women under the Gilly Hicks brand. As of January 30, 2010, it operated 1,096 stores in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company was founded in 1892 and is headquartered in New Albany, Ohio.
Challenges / Opportunities
• Lack of financial accountability in management levels due to shortfalls of planning systems and processes
• Financial plans lacked buy-in and ownership from management because they were created in vacuum and data was constantly questioned
• Web of MS Excel based models that were distributed caused a lack of data integrity, transparency and reporting
• Models unable to be easily modified resulted in out of date methodologies that were unable to keep up with the changes in the business. The planning models didn’t make sense for the business.
Implemented Solution
The solution for ANF had to drive accountability to those individuals in the organization that impact profitability on a daily basis. To do this, Hyperion Planning was implemented with income statement models at the store and department levels. These models included detailed revenue and expense methodologies specific to the retail industry and in particular ANF’s business. Particular attention was given to modeling store operations expenses including labor and non labor.
Results
This implementation has been considered one of the most successful technology deployments at ANF. The Hyperion Planning based system has driven control and accountability to the store level. The keys to this success are three fold; 1.) Planning models have been modernized and are now relevant to the existing state of the business. 2.) Planning capabilities have been driven down to the store level thus establishing ownership of those plans. 3.) A centralized planning system with robust reporting and ad hoc capabilities provide transparency performance variances. These results are being used to measure the business and drive accountability.

Formerly JohnsonDiversey, it split from the well-known company in 1999 to make commercial cleaning, hygiene, pest control, and food sanitation products for retailers, building service contractors, hospitality providers, and foodservice operators. With revenues in excess of $3B, Diversey is the #2 global industrial and institutional cleaning products company. Headquarters in Sturtevant, WI. 10,400 Employees. Main competitors include Clorox, Ecolab and Proctor and Gamble.
Challenges / Opportunities
• Disparate systems burdened the organization and precluded unified financial reporting
• The same information was being repeated in multiple locations and formats resulting in disjointed reporting
• Management views of financial management information were inconsistent and lacked uniformity across the enterprise
• Data and reporting were often out of date and lacked cohesiveness
• Financial plans lacked buy-in and ownership from management because they were created in vacuum and data integrity was constantly questioned
Implemented Solution
Rolta partnered with Diversey in establishing Hyperion Financial Management as its platform for financial consolidations. Prior to this project, Diversey consolidated its books using Hyperion Enterprise. Rolta led the effort to convert to HFM including performing detailed requirements analysis, system design and development.
Results
Key benefits realized from the HFM implementation include the following Single FM application used to report Constant Currency, Line of Business
and Revenue/Expense Detail Automated various consolidations to report constant currency Project team led 1-day training classes covering 100 end users Reduced number of reports significantly Resolved data integrity issues that resulted in
Client Overview
Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. (“SNI”) is the leading developer of lifestyle-oriented content for television and the Internet, where on-air programming is complemented with online video, social media areas and e-commerce components on companion Web sites and broadband vertical channels. The company's media portfolio includes popular lifestyle brands HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel and country music network Great American Country (GAC), as well as leading online search and comparison shopping services, Bizrate and Beso.
Challenges / Opportunities
The former E.W. Scripps Company had recently split its organization into two separate publically traded companied, E.W. Scripps Co (SSP) and Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI). SNI’s corporate finance team was challenged to create corporate consolidations and management reporting processes to meet the demands for internal and external reporting. In addition, the current budget and forecasting processed was utilizing thousands of disjointed spreadsheets that provided little to no insight into the forecasting process.
Implemented Solution
Rolta deployed a Hyperion Financial Management solution to consolidate the multiple entities of SNI and produce the new reporting package. FDQM was leveraged to tighten the controls on data integration and provide audit and drill back capabilities. Hyperion Planning was deployed to provide SNI with a robust budgeting application for corporate use. Planning was also deployed at the entity level to satisfy the operational planning and forecasting needs.
Results
SNI’s corporate finance team has a fully integrated financial reporting and analytic solution. The amount of manual effort to produce financial analysis on a monthly basis has been virtually eliminated. In addition, SNI now has complete insight into the enterprise’s planning and forecasting process. In the past, forecasts were only produces twice a year. Now with Hyperion Planning the forecasts are produced monthly with significantly enhanced detail and accuracy.

They are America’s leader in contract logistics and supply chain management. By providing customer-focused solutions to the automotive, chemical, consumer, industrial, life sciences, retail, and technology industries, they develop and sustain partnerships that deliver true value and thought leadership to make their client’s business more competitive.
Challenges / Opportunities
Exel’s challenges were twofold. First, they lacked the ability to consistently maintain both their financial and managerial metadata structures across their Oracle ERP and Hyperion Essbase solutions. (including multiple views of their Chart of Accounts and Organizational structures.) Secondly, although Exel was leveraging in existing Essbase reporting solution to promote the analysis of financial data, they lacked the ability to annotate theses results for clarification purposes.
Implemented Solution
Rolta deployed an Oracle:DRM solution that now functions as the book of record for financial metadata. It supplies dimension/hierarchy information that form the foundation for Exel’s Essbase Cubes as well as enforces consistency with their Oracle:ERP models. In addition, a Hyperion Financial Reports solution was deployed that leveraged the recently introduced annotation feature for capturing, tracking, and reporting financial commentary.
Results

They provide customer-focused solutions to the automotive, chemical, consumer, industrial, life sciences, retail, and technology industries. Their innovative contract logistics and supply chain solutions—from demand planning to retail home delivery—make their customers more efficient, more profitable, and more competitive
Challenges / Opportunities
While Deutsche Post:Exel had been utilizing the Hyperion Suite of technology for multiple years, the stability of the environment, confidence in the information it was providing, and the capacity for which the solutions could adapt to changing needs of the business, promoted Deutsche Post:Exel to engage Rolta. It was determined that a Current State/Desired State Assessment be performed for which a solution Gap Analysis would articulate a program of opportunities to improve the use and as an extension the adoption of the Hyperion-based solutions.
Implemented Solution
Rolta engaged Deutsche Post:Exel in a Hyperion Capacity Assessment initiative. The focus of the study included the following four pillars:
• Process Orientation• Business Solutions• Hyperion Architecture / Infrastructure• Resource / Support

Burger King Worldwide, Inc. was founded in 1954 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida.
Challenges / Opportunities
With 3G Capital’s acquisition of Burger King, the strategic decision was made to materially shift to a Franchise based business model. Lacking clear and consistent visibility into the financial impacts associated with this transition, Burger Kling reached out Rolta for the development of a Strategic Roadmap to support a multi-phase, international based Forecasting/Planning & Reporting solution. Subsequent to the creation of this implementation strategy, Rolta was engaged in the development of a multi-currency solution that supported North America, LATAM, EMAM, and APAC.
Implemented Solution
A North American model was established as the “blue print” from which regional derivations were developed. This expedited the requirements gathering/design phase while also ensuring consistency across the solution where appropriate.
The implemented solution included Planning/ Forecasting & Reporting across their various business processes.
• Property Management• Franchise Management• Company Restaurant Management• G&A, OIE, Interest• Tax• Capital Expenditure Planning & Reporting• CoOp Advertising Fund Management• Balance Sheet / Cash Flow
Results

Case Study: Daily Sales Planning and Reporting
Client Overview
Headquartered in Columbus, OH Established: 1963 Lines of Business: lingerie, personal care and beauty products,
apparel and accessories Revenue: $11.45 B from 2,969 store locations Employees: 100,000+
Challenges / Opportunities
Lbrands relied upon a fifteen-year-old proprietary solution to provide their daily sales reporting to the senior executive team. A mix of technologies handled various aspects of data collection, mappings, and calculations, with the reports being ultimately delivered in spreadsheets. The finance reporting team began early each day to collect and consolidate manual inputs from legacy applications, delivering their results mid-morning – on a good day. Adapting to any changes in the business was problematic at best. Daily manual calculations were performed to input current data, handle exceptions and correct errors in inputs. The human expertise required to maintain the application and fix it when it broke down eventually disappeared. Frustrations caused by this costly, unreliable application were shared by the Finance and IT teams responsible for delivering daily sales results, as well as the CIO, CFO and CEO.
Implemented Solution
Rolta proposed a solution that would produce daily results without custom code or daily intervention. The design aligned year-over-year results to provide comparable "business calendar" reporting. The centralized reporting solution was built using the Oracle Hyperion platform familiar to Lbrands, including user-friendly web forms for data collection, automated workflow & calculations, and reports that precisely replicated the format required by the executive users. Rolta partnered with the Lbrands business & technology teams to implement an iterative design process, ensuring a solution that would meet the functional needs of the users.
Results
Through the optimal integration of processes and technology, Lbrands has realized all targeted benefits and more:• A reliable solution that is managed by end users with minimal central administration• Highly automated processing and communication of activities for consolidating
inputs and feedback, with a daily "push" of reports to users• System flexible supports scheduled reporting and on-demand updates when required• New metrics and key performance indicators can be readily added or modified• Accurate timely sales analysis tools and reports enable fact-based decisions

$6B+ Natural Gas and Electricity Utility #362 on Fortune 500 List 7,600 Employees 3.3M Natural Gas Customers in 7 States 500K Electricity Customers in Indiana
Challenges / Opportunities
• 7 year budget requirement currently handled in Hyperion Enterprise
• Extensive Non-Cash Adjustments made at month end for Cash Flow Reporting. Absorbs significant reconciliation time and prone to errors.
• Restatements need to be agile• NiSource completed an extensive partner selection process
covering a period of 5 months.
Implemented Solution
Rolta proposed a solution that partners with NiSource to define and deploy best practices and processes with the implementation of Hyperion Financial Management (HFM). The Rolta team of HFM consultants provided significant value add beyond just Enterprise to HFM implementation. Rolta leveraged it’s HyJump methodology and implementation accelerators to achieve the customer’s objectives in the following areas:
– Migration from Hyperion Enterprise to HFM
– Cash Flow
– Intercompany
– Restatements
– Variance Reporting
Results
Each month, the NiSource Supply Chain and key Executive Sponsors conduct a Partnership Review Meeting with Rolta . Russ Viater VP - Transformation Program Delivery commented, “Rolta really stepped up big on this project and has done an excellent job”. The project has been delivered on-time and produced a 25% budget savings from the original estimate.

HQ Baraboo, WI
Operations US, LAM, EMEA
Background and Business IssuesFlambeau manufactures a diverse range of injection and blown-mold plastic products and is part of the privately held Nordic Group companies.
Flambeau maintained a collection of disparate, non-integrated and highly customized manufacturing and financials systems. The lack of a single, global financial system of record resulted in process duplication, manual efforts, lack of visibility to global operations and inability to collaborate to make faster decisions. Flambeau needed to shift from sub-optimized and legacy systems to a seamlessly integrated ERP system to handle their financials and procurement, positioning Flambeau for future growth globally.
Engagement ProcessFlambeau is a long-standing client, and had engaged Rolta to perform some consulting work with Oracle’s Fusion Middleware products. During the course of this engagement, Rolta recognized the potential fit that Cloud ERP may have with Flambeau’s needs.
Rolta’s team engaged with the Oracle Sales team and introduced the ASM into the account. The joint Rolta/Oracle team worked collaboratively throughout the demonstration cycle and addressed all of the requirements needed to drive the deal forward for Oracle. In turn, Oracle provided access to Rolta for specialized training and coordination with Oracle’s Success Manager to ensure smooth delivery and transition of the solution.
Solution ResultsRolta delivered a comprehensive, transformational solution that created a standard global platform for future growth and enhanced finance and procurement processes, including leverage of the SLA engine for variance reporting. Other highlights of the innovative solution included:• Employment of a coexistence strategy, Rolta’s Cloud ERP Accelerators and robust technical integration including cloud-based web services and file-based data imports• Multi-language, multi-currency, multi-GAAP, and multi-calendar with global financial consolidation and reporting• Comprehensive sales tax rules incorporating the upload of rate changes using prebuilt tools and templates • Robust standard reports and analytics in flexible formats
GLOBAL DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATIONS
• Full lifecycle Project Leadership & Governance• Accelerators based on proprietary Ri3 implementation toolkit• Leads experienced in building ‘out-of-the-box’ and standard
solutions• Expertise using SOA and EAI middleware• Global On-shore/Off-shore Model – quality at a low TCO
STRATEGY & ADVISORY
• Migration roadmap, business process optimization, shared services business models
• Assist clients in leveraging their investment in EBS (11i or R12)• Development of ERP Roadmaps unique to Project Centric

The Rolta Advantage in Oracle ERP Projects:
29
“We evaluated 5 highly qualified consulting partners for the Haemonetics upgrade (R12 migration / transformation) and Rolta was hands down the best match for the dynamic business at Haemonetics.
Rolta blended extremely well with our internal global team. We knew our project would take many twists based on the other business initiatives – Integration of Pall’s Whole Blood business, conversion of their SAP to our
11i, major manufacturing plant network changes and a redesign of our distribution network.
Rolta did a great job of helping us plan our attack and address changes in real time. They kept us informed on schedule and cost implications of any changes and helped us deliver an absolute seamless transition during 1
extended weekend. Rolta was and continues to be a great choice for Haemonetics.”
