ELN Remote access migration to the Cloud

Description of the initiative

The TSE servers used to offer a remote access connection to ELN for users in remote locations with poor network performances are still installed at Civrieux. The objective is to move this to the Cloud in the same account as ELN application servers, to align the number of licenses and to define the right support model.
Part of IAP Roadmap.

Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap


2023 Digital Technology Key objective


Priority

Enter the level of priority of your initiative: P1 must do by day 1/ P2 can do/ P3 parked for now

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?

This project propose a quick win to harmonize the ELN server architecture by migrating the old remote access server still located at Civrieux.
If not done, the management of this remote access server will not profit from the same level of maintenance & support as the other ELN servers. 

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

Availability, Maintenance & support from the AWS Hosting team.


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

This will replace the old TSE server at Civrieux.

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

Users are :
  • WW lab booster ELN users
  • Located far away from EMEA
  • Located on site with poor connection performances


What is the number of users impacted?

  • 100 Users expected


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Increase the productivity of labbooster users
Increase ELN user adoption
Increase Labbooster volume of data generated inside the ELN (main labbooster data source)

1.5. Business goals

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

Migrating the remote access server to AWS will increase lab booster & ELN adoption which is Key for Sco R&I teams (Battery, Coatings, Datagrow, etc)

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

No

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

User connection KPI to set-up

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" sheet. 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

1.9. Up to investment


What is the coherent time to commit on the initiative?*

Estimated Delivery phase start date*

 

Estimated Delivered end Quarter*

Q3 2023


What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*


2023 (in K€)* 2024 (in K€)* 2025 (in K€)

Estimated size of investment (high level)

 20




What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?

Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known)


Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...)  

1.10. Resources

What skills and talents do we need? 

ELN Service Owner
AWS Hosting Specialist


1.11. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)

Do you think if your initiative is compatible with a waterfall approachor with an agile approach?

  • Agile model
  • Waterfall model
  • I do not know at this stage

If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI

Phase 2: Strategize


Do

  • Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
  • Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the bief
  • Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
  • Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measureable, Archievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
  • Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives

Don´t

  • Identify squad resources (naming)
  • Write user stories


Now, we can move on to the Solution space
