Executive Summary
Solution Beacon is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to Maricopa County Community Colleges Districts (MCCCD) request for proposal for Oracle consulting services. As stated within the RFP, Solution Beacon has responded to the sections most applicable to our business: Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) project and staff augmentation assistance. Secondarily we have provided representative resumes of senior Peoplesoft HR and Student Administration resources for consideration. Solution Beacon has tailored the proposal content, sample references, and resource resumes in an effort to provide a broad overview of the types of work we perform. We have also made an effort to provide material that reflects the efforts MCCCD has indicated it is most likely to undertake: upgrading to EBS Release 12, Implementation of Oracle Grants, and directory authentication. As demonstrated during Solution Beacons Upgrade Readiness Assessment, our resources are some of the most experienced in the Oracle marketplace with a breadth of industry and public sector knowledge. We make it a practice to create a trusted advisor relationship with our clients As MCCCD chooses a preferred partner we emphasize the importance and the value of choosing a consulting partner known for knowledge sharing and unbiased recommendations on various Oracle applications and technologies. We have made a name in the industry through consistent participation (presentations, training, webinars) and leadership within the Oracle Applications User Group (OAUG) community. As you can see from the reference information provided, we are well accustomed to providing the assistance clients need for a particular engagement: from project planning and leadership to targeted module or business process leads for an effort, to staff augmentation for more limited resource needs. In any case, our commitment is to long term partnership with our clients. In summary, Solution Beacon brings the following critical components to ensure success with the work we undertake: Experienced, seasoned teams to manage the complexities inherent in upgrades, reimplementation, and implementation of Oracle Release 12 Understanding of Release 12 application capabilities including sub-ledger accounting and multi-org access control, as well as the technology and BI components alongside the EBS Experience with public sector accounting, financial consolidation, alignment of business processes, and strategic application planning A commitment to new release expertise through knowledge sharing, published books (11i, R12, Workflow), webinars, training, as well as the only public Vision instance of the Oracle EBS (at www.solutionbeacon.com) A reputation and dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction

5. Scope of Work
5.1 See Section 7.3 Products of Services Available 5.2 A team oriented project organization with representation from Solution Beacon and MCCCD

will be established. Each team member will be assigned specific tasks and responsibilities as described in the work plan. A high level project plan and team definition will guide the start of the project. The detailed work plan and the required MCCCD staffing resources will be finalized during the Discovery Stage of the project. Solution Beacon encourages and incorporates ongoing knowledge transfer as a part of every project plan. As indicated with the Directory Authentication engagement under consideration, Solution Beacon regularly tailors its plan to allow for a test run led by Solution Beacon resources, with subsequent iterations led by MCCCD resources. This allows for on the job mentoring and testing of a proposed solution so that MCCCD resources will be well equipped to support and troubleshoot the solution in production. In cases where a clients resources do not have the time needed, we are also accustomed to the creation of references materials or formalized training (classroom or web based) as needed.
5.3 See reference section for a sampling of higher education clients using the Oracle EBS. 5.4 Describe the extent of experience by the Proposer with People Tools, SQR, PL/SQL, Java,

Application Engine, COBOL, Workflow, SOA, Oracle/PeopleSoft Student Administration and/or HCM, eBusiness Suite, or any other products relevant to this RFP. The following is a description of Solution Beacons expertise with the technical aspects of Oracle EBS, which is the focus of our response to this RFP. Solution Beacon has developed many inbound and outbound interfaces for clients in a wide variety of industries. The specific interfaces range from typical open interfaces such as inbound payables invoices and outbound ACH processes that are utilized at most E-Business Suite clients to more complex interfaces such as providing synchronizations between multiple E-Business Suite instances. The tools utilized for the interface will vary based on the source, target, specific application, degree of automation required, availability of open interfaces and many other factors. For Release 12, Oracle provides an extensive integration repository to assist customers with the development of interfaces. This comprehensive integration repository describes all of the Oracle endpoints whether they are Business to Business (B2B) or Application to Application (A2A). Utilization of the integration repository ensures standards are followed and supportable interfaces are built. The following interface types, all of which have been utilized by Solution Beacon resources, are described in the repository.

B. Confirm or qualify your ability to provide each element of Section 5 "Scope of Work. Service Summary of Qualifications Past successes are built on a tested project management and implementation methodology; assessment, implementation, upgrade, and optimization engagements range from short term efforts to multiyear international projects with multiple dependencies. Our leadership is well equipped to assist with organizational, IT, and strategic decision making. Effective project management is facilitated by the creation of a Project Management Organization (PMO) composed of a Steering Committee, joint project management from MCCCD and Solution Beacon, and collaborative execution teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Open communication throughout the project not only helps the cohesiveness between MCCCDs and Solution Beacons teams, but it keeps the project on track meeting milestone deadlines. Regular meetings of the PMO keep all stakeholders informed of progress and allow for quick resolution should issues arise. Solution Beacons project management approach is geared for a realistic implementation environment where it is expected that there will be deviations from the original project specification. Our effort is to minimize these where possible through effective planning. We find our clients conduct their business operations in a dynamic business environment and when changes do occur we will document them to adjust timing, resources, and overall scope of the teams efforts. Effective project planning sets a clear design and path for the project. Open communication and change control address issues before they snowball into major problems. These complex dynamic projects require a sophisticated level of communication and dedication from all levels of the organization and from the consulting partner, Solution Beacon. The PMO supports the project oversight to ensure that this level of communication is maintained. Application Implementation, functional configuration, and testing are integral to most every Solution Beacon engagement Our methodology lends itself to application implementations, reimplementations, and upgrades. Solution Beacon has worked with clients in many different vertical markets with various design solutions. Each clients application footprint is unique and Solution Beacons expertise in multiple industries sets high standards for application design, build, testing, training, and production go-live. Many clients retain Solution Beacon for post go-live support due to our in-depth knowledge and experience.

Summary of Qualifications Solution Beacon will look at the current architecture to identify and recommend/design an architecture that will minimize complexity and provide the most manageable and maintainable environment. This includes addressing platform architecture needs (e.g., simplify the system footprint, provide for equal or greater performance than the current platform, position MCCCD for Release 12, position MCCCD for an off-site disaster recovery site) without an increase in Oracle maintenance support costs. This is also discussed in our response to Item D about technical resources following this table. NA Remote Support Services: Functional and technical support Focused knowledge transfer Remote DBA support Oracle instance hosting Solution Beacon has a repeatable methodology that includes testing. Conference Room Pilot 1 CRP1 is focused on non-integrated testing (testing within individual business processes rather than across all business processes). It is the first testing cycle that contains client specific configurations of the system, based upon the requirements gathered in the Discovery phase. Testing is conducted using MCCCD specific business scenarios. Through this testing cycle, undocumented enhancements will typically be discovered and training opportunities will be exposed. The project team will design test scenarios or use templates that replicate the business processes used by MCCCD. All discrepancies are logged, categorized and prioritized for remediation. The end result of CRP1 is the validation and updating of requirements, as well as user confidence that the system will meet their needs and that they are now ready to proceed with final solution design. Final Solution Design At this stage all approved design, configuration, and deployment objectives are finalized. Priorities have been set and MCCCD agreement is secured so they may be included into integration testing for the next conference room pilot. Technical resources will begin work on conversions, workflow, interfaces and customization in preparation for CRP2. Conference Room Pilot 2 CRP2 consists of integrated testing of the system configurations across MCCCD business flows. End-to-end testing is conducted by tracking business activities through a complete business cycle. If conversions are part of the project scope, converted data will be included here as well as all available custom objects,

Summary of Qualifications reports, and interfaces. This CRP validates the solution and prepares the project team for the final phase. The project team will have made changes to test scenarios based on decisions from previous tests. All discrepancies are logged, categorized and prioritized for remediation prior to user acceptance. Documentation is a key component of the Solution Beacon Lighthouse implementation methodology. Each phase of the implementation from project initialization to post go-live support includes many deliverables that are housed and managed in a central project repository. The repository provides draft documents, processes for review control, and archiving as the project progresses. Solution Beacon consultants will mentor the MCCCD team throughout a given project. This will be accomplished through workshops as part of design, through development of test scripts and testing during conference room pilots, and during the side-by-side team effort as individuals work together to complete common objectives. Solution Beacon is dedicated to this personal training and mentoring culture so that our clients are well equipped to support their system at the conclusion of the project. Solution Beacon provides two types of more formalized training; Train the Trainer and End User training. The most critical training is the Train the Trainer training. This initial training will focus on trainers and User Acceptance (UAT) test participants. These individuals become the knowledge leaders that will assist the overall MCCCD user communities in their understanding of the applications and how best to leverage them for their needs. Written training materials including labs and presentation materials will be developed by MCCCDs assigned Trainers (BPOs) with the assistance of Solution Beacon staff, which shall include the use of material from the Solution Beacon Toolkit. Training schedules will be finalized and published for attendees. As noted with the chosen references, Solution Beacon has an extensive background in the creation of data warehouse solutions, financial consolidation, and enterprise business intelligence solutions. The reference customers selected demonstrate this expertise; additional examples are available upon request. The representative resources selected demonstrate this background. NA

E. Release 12 Expertise: Solution Beacon began working with Release 12 even before it was released and there are few firms that are more experienced with R12: We continuously conduct multiple teaching seminars on Release 12 upgrades, reimplementation and implementation We authored the definitive book on Release 12 We host the Oracle Release 12 Vision Instance on the Solution Beacon Website accessed by thousands of Oracle users worldwide We have worked with many clients on a variety of R12 projects We specialize in helping clients understand R12 functional and technical changes Our full time consultants include recognized Oracle Release 12 experts

As with any new release of the Oracle ERP, locating resources with real world, hands on experience can be a challenge during the initial 24 months of the new release. Most of the Solution Beacon management and consulting team members have implemented and upgraded Oracle since the initial versions of the early 1990s. With Release 12 in January 2007, the Solution Beacon management team allocated a pool of resources internally to focus solely on installation, configuration, testing, and development of training material specific to Release 12. As an initial step, Solution Beacon installed the Release 12 Vision Instance on its public site, the

Appendix B Case Study General Dynamics C4 Systems Company Overview


General Dynamics Corporation is a $27 Billion dollar, Defense contractor headquartered in Falls Church, VA, with other offices in Arizona and Massachusetts. It operates in four areas: Information Systems & Technology (command and control systems), Marine Systems (warships and nuclear submarines), Combat Systems (tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, and munitions), and Aerospace (business jets). The US government accounts for more than two-thirds of sales. General Dynamics C4 Systems (GDC4S) is a division of General Dynamics which develops and integrates secure communication and information systems and technology. With more than 10,000 employees worldwide, GDC4S specializes in command and control, communications networking, computing and information assurance for defense, government and select commercial customers in the United States and abroad.

Business Problem
GDC4S had two concerns in doing an upgrade. Their first concern was that they were not sure if they should go from their current Oracle CRM Applications Release 11.5.9/RDBMS version 9i environment to either Release 11.5.10.2/RDBMS version 10gR3 or Release 12/RDBMS version 10gR3. The second concern was that since they are a CRM centric company, what impact would the upgrade have to their current CRM business processes/environment? GDC4S had very few customizations. but some of their customizations were medium in complexity. They also needed to add a few additional customizations as part of the upgrade to accommodate lost functionality on their R12 SR form (installed at address). This was also a complex application footprint that included Mobile Field Service.

Solution Beacon Project


Solution Beacon proposed doing a Release 12 Technical Upgrade Readiness Assessment. We ran the basic technical assessment including running scripts to find glaring performance issues, application footprints, database sizing, archiving, etc. We discovered that due to the low number of customizations, Release 12 was a better direction for GDC4S. The decision to go to Release 12 provideded a better return on investment by saving the cost of future upgrades, having a longer support period from Oracle, better user interface, less patching and down-timewindow along with better functionality and increased quality & stability of the features. Solution Beacon saw no reason why the CRM group should not opt to upgrade to Release 12 rather than Release 11.5.10.2. Selecting Release 12 would not negatively impact the interfaces to the financial environment, irrespective of the timing and release level selected for that environment. Solution Beacon was awarded the upgrade project which began in August of 2008. The key to our success on this project (upgrading the GDC4S apps from 11 to 12) was the composition of the two teams (GDC4S and Solution Beacon). The project teams were

Oracle/PeopleSoft Enterprise Consulting and Related Services


Maricopa Community Colleges District March 2010

extremely competent within their areas of expertise. GDC4S knows their business very well and Solution Beacon knows Oracle Applications, the R12 Upgrade process, and methodology very well. Through team focused collaboration, both teams effectively managed their roles and responsibilities and were able to successfully complete their deliverables on schedule. A streamlined approach was utilized to minimize project related costs. This included leveraging internal resources as much as possible and using a single CRP along with one UAT as part of the overall plan. Although multiple CRP cycles are our standard approach, minimal customizations allowed us to include the second CRP cycle as only a contingent requirement depending on the success of the first CRP. While streamlined, the approach was very thorough and included multiple test upgrade iterations to accomplish: Perfect upgrade timings & minimal production down time during go live Solid definition and reinforcement of tasks, roles, responsibilities and approach for golive weekend Identification of the unknowns of a major upgrade such as R12; each iteration uncovered additional information and results from the prior Best Practices Software Methodology was planned and executed throughout the project lifecycle: Scope Control to minimize the number of variables in the 1st phase of the project i.e. Upgrade the apps Quality Assurance emphasis on testing & re-testing Minimize and/or eliminate customizations wherever possible Direct and frequent communications to the team and sponsors to eliminate surprises An extensive and detailed Quality Assurance plan was developed by Solution Beacon and executed by the entire team to minimize the number of bugs and defects carried over into new prod instance. CRP and UAT phases were well managed and executed. The complexity of the addition of the Mobile Field Service was resolved in a collaborative effort that included GDC4S, Solution Beacon, and Oracle Corporation. This resulted in unprecedented progress never before attained in R12. The ability to perform business functions in the enterprise Field Service application and synchronize with MFS in both directions has never been performed in an R12 production environment. This will be a major accomplishment for each organization involved in this project. Solution Beacon was able to eliminate all of the GDC4S Logical Apps rule customizations (these were not supported by Oracle). These were replaced with form personalizations, which are supported by Oracle and are included in the standard upgrade process which further reduces the efforts required to upgrade to the next release.

Benefits Achieved
Solution Beacon was instrumental in assisting GDC4S to make this important decision. Solution Beacon was able to outline some of the areas in which process improvements and other

Oracle/PeopleSoft Enterprise Consulting and Related Services


Maricopa Community Colleges District March 2010

improvements could be made to better allow GDC4S to achieve return on their investment in the Oracle Applications. Going with R12 has enabled GDC4S to get onto the most current Application platform. This has them in a position to avoid major upgrades for the medium term (min 5-8 years). Therefore, their IT budgets and resources can focus on new features and functions and not playing techno catch up. Additionally, GDC4S has the ability to stay current with their security patches which in the past while running 11.5.9 they did not. Eliminating playing catch up from their roadmap they reestablished their priorities and can stay current with the security patches. The General Dynamics CRM focus and the R12 impacts were positive for General Dynamics. Solution Beacon team highlighted to General Dynamics the new functions and features offered in R12. General Dynamics is comfortable with R12 and will utilize the new features and functions in future phases. This includes a new security model for their multiple business lines and users. Additional benefits include: 1. Move forward with their applications roadmap no longer concerned about de-support can move ahead with expanding their capabilities and offerings to their customers 2. Eliminated customizations and replaced with personalizations future upgrades these personalizations will be supported & not require any additional efforts 3. Improved business processes from the applications R12 CRM apps improved and more efficient (ie security model for CRM apps) 4. Mobile Field Service functions not working in R11 now work in R12 5. Security Patching current 6. Single Sign On implemented to improve end user efficiencies 7. Improved Security Model for the CRM applications 8. General Dynamics IT team grew their skills and knowledge base from this experience They have a much better understanding of the project lifecycle and Oracle applications.

Appendix C- Case Study L3 Communications

Company Overview
L-3 Communications Electron Technologies Incorporated (ETI) is a leading provider of high reliability products to space and defense customers. ETI designs and manufactures space qualified Traveling Wave Tubes, Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers and Electronic Power Conditioners. Additional product lines include Electric Propulsion Systems for satellites and Traveling Wave Tubes for various military applications. ETI is a division of L-3 Communications Holdings, which makes secure and specialized systems for satellite, avionics, and marine communications. The US government (primarily the Department of Defense) accounts for about 80% of the company's business. Commercial products include flight recorders (black boxes), display systems, wireless telecom gear, as well as aircraft repair, overhaul, and technical services.

Business Problem
L-3 ETIs use of an older de-supported version of the Oracle E-Business Suite dictated the need for an upgrade from Release11.0.3 to the newest supported version, Oracle Release 12. Having been on the same release for several years, the vast majority of the L-3 staff had little or no experience upgrading the Oracle E-Business Suite and sought outside expertise for technical guidance, functional leadership, and development expertise in customization remediation and migration.

Solution Beacon Project


L-3 management made the decision to manage the upgrade to Release 12 internally, using very senior consultants in key positions in order guide the project and provide knowledge transfer to the L-3 team wherever possible. With the inherent risk of a significant upgrade from Release 11.0.3 to a relatively new release (12), Solution Beacon provided a team of local resources with hands on experience with Release 12 for the project covering Financials/Subledger Accounting, Manufacturing, Order Management / Inventory, Development Lead, and Applications DBA oversight. Team leads commenced by conducting a series of workshops by business area demonstrating R12 functionality, leading into a gap analysis, and the first of three Conference Room Pilots. L-3s project had a successful go-live in April 2009.

Benefits Achieved
By hiring targeted, senior consultants for the upgrade, L-3 was able to make a massive jump in versions covering Financials and a custom Manufacturing environment while keeping costs at a minimum. With Solution Beacons approach to knowledge transfer, unlike one time training prior to go-live, the L-3 staff received ongoing exposure to and guidance around the applications and the extensive growth in functionality contained in the new release.

Appendix D Case Study Cricket Communications Company Overview


Cricket Communications (Cricket), headquartered in San Diego, California, is the operating subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, a customer-focused company providing innovative mobile wireless services targeted to meet the needs of customers who are under-served by traditional communications companies. Cricket/Leap Wireless is a national prepaid wireless carrier with revenues of $1.6 Billion.

Business Problem
Cricket Communications contracted with Solution Beacon to conduct a comprehensive Post Implementation Review of its instance of the Oracle E-Business Suite. Emerging from Chapter 11 protection, Crickets Accounting and IT infrastructure spending was conservative in nature with a mandate of containing costs and maintaining the ERP system as is. With the company reaching stable ground and revenues increasing, the Cricket team had the task of shifting from maintenance to a growth mode of investment in process improvement, increased automation, scalability, improved integration across disparate systems, and broader utilization of the chosen ERP platform, the Oracle E-Business Suite.

Solution Beacon Project


Solution Beacons Post Implementation Review of the existing Oracle Release 11.5.9 instance consisted of a comprehensive applications assessment covering the business, functional, and technical aspects of the applications usage within Cricket. The engagement included: Business process review and specific recommendations for improving the month end close process Configuration review by module (GL, AP, AR, CM, FA, PN, PO, PA) Creation of application setup documentation by module Technical applications maintenance, architecture, and patching Comprehensive Workflow review of usage, customization, purging, and maintenance Short and long term recommendations for an upgrade/migration to the latest release and potential usage of new modules

As a result of the findings presented within the assessment, Cricket requested that the Solution Beacon team begin to implement the assessment recommendations including process redesign and implementation, configuration changes, new module implementation, resolution of existing issues, and guidance to Cricket senior management on a re-implementation versus upgrade decision to bring the ERP system to the latest release. Initial project work focused on the optimization and process improvement around Oracle Projects, Financials, and Property Manager, and grew to include a Capital Expenditures Reporting effort. With Cricket acquiring new spectrum licenses from the FCC to enter new markets, Cricket needed a repeatable, efficient process to create new organizations within the ERP to support accounting and timely,

accurate reporting. Our team brought the needed expertise to design, test, and implement a new Multi-Org setup process for all future market openings. Simultaneously, Solution Beacon kicked off two major efforts: a comprehensive Procure to Pay (P2P) business process redesign, and an upgrade in the form of a rapid migration to the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2. Solution Beacon managed all efforts concurrently covering the roles of Senior Project Manager, P2P Process Specialist, Application Architect, module Subject Matter Experts, Development Lead, and Lead Applications Database Administrator (DBA). Solution Beacons efforts around the P2P Redesign and upgrade effort were acknowledged as exceptional within Cricket, being the only projects (among all internal and other vendor managed projects) to meet the original go-live dates and deliverables. Other efforts Solution Beacon has led at Cricket include implementation of Turnkey Solutions Accelerators for the Mercury/HP Testing Suite, integration of a 3rd party system to the Oracle EBS, allowing Cricket to pay suppliers for discounts and rebates across its supply chain, multiple significant patching and regression testing efforts, and the implementation of Oracle iExpense.

Benefits Achieved
A 25% reduction in time and effort required to complete the month end close process Greatly improved visibility, accuracy, and timeliness to Capital Expenditures Reporting including expenditures, funding and cash flow Significant improvement, flexibility, and accountability of Crickets procurement process A 75% reduction in the time required for multi-org setup time as Cricket expands to new wireless markets Streamlined processes and increased visibility for tracking projects and license costs using Oracle Projects and Self Service module Vastly improved process and usage of Oracle Property Manager Introduction of XML Publisher as Crickets reporting standard Integration of expense capture, tracking, and accounting within the ERP Implementation of a formal testing methodology, test scripts, and creation of user training materials across the Cricket staff

Cricket retains Solution Beacon resources on an ongoing basis for projects as needs arise, for staff augmentation purposes, and to continue implementation of the recommendations from Solution Beacons original assessment.
