Proving a framework for the renovation of an international IS in 7 countries

Missions

• Scoping (4 months):

• • Definition of the project scope (countries, distribution channels, type of customers, suppliers, products, services, functions to be covered)
  • Gap analysis of the solution (thematic workshops organised around the main functions included in the scope)
  • Definition of the functional and application architecture and integration principles
  • Identification of interdependencies with related projects
  • Assessing process flows
  • Reflection on the target operational model for maintenance and deployment solutions
  • Definition of guidelines for testing, migration and switchover
  • Study of the technical characteristics of the solution and its suitability for the group’s requirements
  • Supporting programme steering committee
  • Identification of the programme’s impact on processes and users
  • Managing interactions with the vendor and key stakeholders
  • Definition of the project plan: Methodology, activities, organisation, planning, costing, governance, ramp-up plan, etc.

Results

• Delivery of scoping components (perimeter, solution, project plan)
• At the end of the scoping work, the size of the programme and the gaps identified in the software package were considered too large.
• It was decided that the project would be split into smaller subsets, focusing on distribution issues
