Description of the initiative

Current Scenario:

  1. Wiki.solvay.com uses Confluence by Atlassian :

    1. Licence: Server Licence (Unlimited users)
    2. Hosted: PixSoftware (Germany)
    3. Renewal: via PixSoftware (including addons’ licences)
    4. Annual Cost: ~ 81,000€ (including all licences, hosting, support costs)

Atlassian announced that they will be no longer support current server licence and will end any support by Feb 2024. 

As a result, wiki.solvay.com needs to move to either one of the following:

  • Cloud Licence
  • Data Center  (Pix Software)
  • Data Center (Solvay) 

The project aim to 

  • Split current Confluence for PO2 by creating 2 instances and migrate the spaces.
  • Upgrade to the new licence model by replacing the EOL server licence to data center licence.
  • Reduce the user licence models by granting only user licences to contributor. (unlimited -> 1000 users)

Mitigate the impact for the respective teams by providing teams with the same solution.

Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap


2023 Digital Technology Key objective

Part of Run the Business

Priority

Priority 1 : part of Run the Business

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives

  • 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
  • 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?

Current licence model end of life at Feb 2024 and rejection of TSA be vendor in PO2 framework.

If not done : 

  • No sustainable communication to Solvay’s internal users :
    HR, Group Security, Solvay Operation System, Procurement, DT and SBS teams are no longer able to share information.
  • No more vulnerability patches to Confluence and its add-on.
  • PixSoftware can only provide limited support from OS level.

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

N/A (keep existing solution and capabilities)


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

Confluence will only be replaced with the new licence and adding a new confluence instance for SCo.

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

2000 users splitted equally in ECo and SCo. Transversal application used accross functions and GBUs

What is the number of users impacted?

Moving from unlimited user scheme to 1000 users (contributors) per new entity.


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Financial Business expectation (ROI, benefits, savings,...) + Qualitative Business expectation (business value, market fit, visibility,...)

Business Continuity 

This is not an exhaustive list:

  • HR Wiki 
    • (WeShape - Centralized processes and guideline)

  • Group Security Wiki
    • Centralizing security policies

  • Solvay Operating System
    • Transformation centers - centralizing processes (CEM, PRICING, StarFactory)

  • Procurement Portal
    • Centralizing procurement processes
    • Whom to contact

  • DT and SBS usages
    • Standard Operating Procedures
    • FAQ, How To, Troubleshooting, Glossary 
    • Functional and Technical documentation for teams

1.5. Business goals

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

If the project is not done, potential loss of knowledge and data linked to key operational processes in functions and business. 

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

N/A as we keep the existing version of the product serviced by Atlassian

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

no data loss during migration to new SCo instance

End users from the 2 new entities can access their respective content

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

If not able to answer yet, explain it at the Envision gate and it will be the DTLT to decide if green light or not considering with the high level of uncertainty 

1.9- Involvment of Data Domains

If your initiative is working with data, please select the domain which is impacted:

  • Marketing & Sales (for examples: Customer & Market segment / Price conditions & CMIR)
  • Supply Chain Management (for examples: Routes & Rates)
  • Procurement (for examples: Master data: Vendors, Contracts, Material (Group)/ Reference Data: Payment terms, Structures)
  • Finance (for examples: Management (MAC)/ Financial (FAC)/ Treasury)
  • HR (for examples: HR Master Data (Employee, Personal, Identity))
  • Industrial (for examples: BOM, Asset Hierarchy, MES Tag, Process Batch)
  • R&I (for examples: Products, Equipments/ Projects)
  • Structures & shared referential (for examples: Structures/ Shared referential data/ Finished goods)
  • Sustainability

1.12. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)

Do you think your initiative will best cope with a waterfall or agile methodology?

  • Full Agile 
  • Waterfall 
  • Partly Agile (mix of both)
  • I do not know at this stage

2.2. Users needs

What do users dislike about the current solution?

Applicable when a new solution is developed



What tools or features do your users wish to have?



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



What alternative do we have?


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?


What is the target?


Which platform will maintain the new service?


2.4. Risk Analysis

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

Are there any internal / external constraints and what are the preventive actions associated?

Identify risks and mitigation plans


2.5. Solvay One Planet Objectives

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

- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability?

- Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ?

- Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much?
