Agenda • Overview • Current Landscape • Future Landscape • Governance Recommendations • Appendix (*) (*) Technical Details for IT and Development Team
Purpose & Scope • Analyze existing systems and design interaction behavior between the Global Company, Magento store and Cyber security to build a single service oriented application. • The business goals for this application
Purpose & Scope - Business goals • Credit card authorization and payment should be automated by integrating with Cyber Security. However credits will continue to be manual. • Reuse the Magneto's storefront with Global company's UI. However the brand names have to be separate because Magento could possibly sell products by itself in future • Orders have to be fulfilled and shipped automatically. Provision to apply certain rules on orders and process them manually if required. For e.g. orders > $1000 should be processed manually. • Add UPS shipment service for automated shipping. • Integration with Twitter for sales announcements. • RAM, Disk storage and Environments can be increased/decreased automatically with integration with Cloudshare services.
Purpose & Scope - Technology goals • Global company's current investment in Oracle SOA should be kept. However recommendations for service inventory and upgrade to 11g is desirable. • The Global company's SOA services should be used for Cloudshare's credit card processing and recurring billing • Replace the current store based tax calculation with online real-time shipment and tax calculation.
Overview of Business Units • Global • Magento • CloudShare • Note: describe what each business does and est. annual revenue (make numbers for revenue!)
Users Interviewed • Customer Support • Operation
Customer Support Outline of Findings • Global’s customer support group is located in high-wage, high-cost region (SF Bay area), while Magentosupport is off-shore (Bangalore) • The support process requires relatively low-medium skilled workers, requiring about 6 months train-up period for a worker to be fully productive • Recommendation – Workforce restructuring of Global Customer Service staff after a 6 month integration period where the Magento staff can prepare and train-up
OperationsOutline of Findings • Magento and Global Operation staff are both currently located in high-wage, high-cost region (SF Bay area) • Recommendation Magento and Global Operations staff should remain in place for the next 1-2 fiscal years, at least until after a full integration of Magento and Global systems are complete, and the architecture for migration of IT platforms to CloudShare is complete.
