QlikView Decommission - CRM Dashboards

Description of the initiative

The CRM Dashboards (including CRM Analytics, Quality and Sold & Pending) provide commercial reporting for all GBUs to Solvay Leadership, Transformation Center GBU Leadership and GBU Management.  They are built on the QlikView technology platform. 

QlikView will be decommissioned at the end of 2023 by the supplier and the KPIs which are delivered via this platform require migration to avoid disruption to critical business processes. There are currently ~1100 active users accessing the legacy platform. This initiative is designed to support their transition to a new platform. 

This project is a technical migration of essential KPIs in their existing format. In order to minimize the demand on resources, improvements and refactoring will be planned for follow up projects.

The allocated budget for this initiative is 300k€.

Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap

3. ENHANCE the Business

2023 Digital Technology Key objective

The primary objective is to preserve business continuity with minimal demand on resources by performing a technical migration of CRM Dashboards to Qlik Sense and onboarding of users before the end of 2023. Specifically:

  • Migration of CRM Analytics (QlikView) to Customer 360 (Qlik Sense), excluding Opportunities
  • Migration of CRM Sold & Pending (QlikView) to Customer 360 (Qlik Sense)
  • Migration of Opportunity data from CRM Analytics and Customer 360 to a new Qlik Sense application, "Opportunity Dashboard"
  • Migration of CRM Quality (QlikView) to new Qlik Sens application, "Customer Quality"

The secondary objective is to also enhance the Commercial Opportunity capabilities to realize the dashboard essential requirements as defined by the Transformation Office. Specifically:

  • Creation of new sheet in the Opportunities Dashboard providing KPIs of Closed Orders, including Realized Sales.

Priority

P2

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Do

  • Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI

Don´t

  • Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear
  • Write portfolio epics, epics and user stories
  • Identify squad resources

First, let´s start with the Problem space

1.1. Reason

* Why is this initiative proposed today?

QlikView has been declared an end of life product by the Editor (Qlik). It is scheduled to be decommissioned at the end of 2023. 
This project is the technical migration of the commercial dashboards: CRM Analytics, CRM Quality, CRM Sold & Pending. 

If not done, ~1100 users across all GBUs and several corporate functions will lose access to high priority commercial data including financial, sales, orders, forecasted volumes and customer quality. 

We propose to migrate the impacted KPIs to Customer 360 where possible. To protect the performance of Customer 360, we will migrate Opportunity KPIs to a new Qlik Sense application ("Opportunity Dashboard") and the CRM Quality KPIs to a new Qlik Sense application ("Customer Quality Dashboard"). 

To minimize competition with PO2, we will not implement the new data architecture (Data Lake) because there are insufficient resources to do so in 2023. We will not migrate to Tableau because migrating Qlik Sense reduces demand on resources and reduces competition with PO2. We will not perform enhancements requested by users in 2023. 

Instead we will prepare project briefs for refactoring projects to be considered for the 2024 budget. 

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

This will be a technical migration of essential KPIs from an end of life solution (QlikView) to the supplier's new technology (Qlik Sense), which provides improved overall user experience.

The Opportunity KPIs will be improved by the addition of Realized Sales data to help the business monitor the accuracy of opportunity forecasting. 


What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?

QlikView KPIs will migrate to 3 Qlik Sense Applications

  • Customer 360 (existing)
  • Opportunities (new)
  • Customer Quality (new)

Specifically:

  • "CRM Analytics" to "Customer 360", excluding Opportunities
  • "Sold & Pending" to "Customer 360"
  • Opportunity data from "CRM Analytics" and "Customer 360" to "Opportunities", a new Qlik Sense application
  • "CRM Quality" to "Customer Quality", a new Qlik Sens application

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

Commercial, financial, quality users across all GBUs, all BUs and in all regions.

Data is collected by users to provide accurate forecasting to Solvay and GBU leadership and supply chain. 


What is the number of users impacted?

1100


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Business Continuity: ensure continued access to business KPIs used to forecast revenue and demand and monitor the processes related to customer orders. 

Prerequisite for the decommissioning of QlikView: Saving 137K for DT Platform but total 211K € for Solvay (Servers costs)

1.5. Business goals

How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?

The product is an as is migration of the current business tools that measure review, demand and monitor commercial processes. Data from by these dashboards is shared with LT, EXCOM and across GBU commercial and supply chain management to monitor commercial activities and impact. 

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

Time and resources are limited, so there will need to be external resources brought in to perform the development. Project management will be crucial. 

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

We will monitor use of the legacy dashboards, Zero users by November 2023 is the successful outcome. 

We will also circulate a satisfaction survey of the new solution, >80% rating is our objective. 

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template and contact the SIP team in order to get your corresponding folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the initiative card tab and  to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" tab. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com

2.2. Users needs

What do users dislike about the current solution?

Applicable when a new solution is developed

This is a technical migration from an end of life product to an existing solution


What tools or features do your users wish to have?

Enhancements will be addressed in future projects


What value will it add to the user´s lives?

The value of this initiative is to protect essential KPI and reporting features to maintain business continuity. 


What alternative do we have?

Tableau with new data architecture is the alternative, but is too costly and time intensive to execute in parallel with PO2

2.3. Overall Service Delivery Management for a project

A standardised process for creating and introducing services. It may sound basic, but Service Design and Introduction should be considered at the very beginning of the project.

  • Moving through the various project stages from Envision, strategize (requirements gathering) to planning, delivering value and testing before deploying the service. 
  • Embedding service introduction activities into project delivery, with defined success criteria at each stage avoids a re-work which can negatively impact the project in terms of time, cost and quality.


Who is the service owner?

Donia Rachdi

What is the target?

Full adoption by December 2023

Which platform will maintain the new service?

Data

2.4. Risk Analysis

What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?

Going over workload estimate - mitigated through project management. Low user adoption - mitigated by strong change management. 

2.5. Solvay One Planet Objectives

What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?

This is a technical migration to a like application therefore there is no impact on the Solvay One Planet objectives.
