Ten months after the start of the project, the first go-live in Brazil<\/span> over the stage.<\/p>\n

In a second wave, the countries followed Argentina<\/span>, Colombia<\/span>, Mexico<\/span> and Panama<\/span> & Central America and Caribbean.<\/p>

\"Fullsize\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Roche Diagnostics relied on the broad expertise of the Heidelberg-based consulting firm cbs Corporate Business Solutions in this ambitious international project.<\/p>\n

Headquartered in Basel, Roche is one of the leading companies in the research-oriented healthcare sector.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the Group employed around 88,500 people worldwide and generated sales of 47.5 billion Swiss francs (approximately 44 billion euros).<\/p>\n

Gloire maps diagnostics processes<\/h3>\n

Roche was faced with the challenge of SAP<\/span>-The aim is to harmonize the processes of all Diagnostics sales sites in South, Central and North America and thus make the sites comparable.<\/p>\n

To this end, it was necessary to remove all affected sales branches from the Pharma-<\/span>SAP system and an old, non-template-based diagnostics system into the new SAP-ERP system<\/span> from Diagnostics.<\/p>\n

To this end, Roche has set up a five-year rollout project to introduce its corporate template \"Global Implementation Reference System\" (Gloire) in the Americas region.<\/p>\n

The diagnostics processes defined in this template and the Best Practices<\/span> differ significantly from the processes that have been used to date in the Pharma-<\/span>system of sales offices in South and Central America were implemented.<\/p>\n

These did not sufficiently cover the processes of the Diagnostics sales branches and were too time-consuming to process.<\/p>\n

Broad rollout program in several waves<\/h3>\n

The central requirements were: The template Gloire used in the Diagnostics world with Diagnostics-specific processes and Best Practices<\/span> in all twelve Roche Diagnostics countries in South, Central and North America.<\/p>\n

In parallel, a new system landscape based on Hana<\/span> be established as a target system. The aim is to gradually integrate the sales branches into the AmericasSAP<\/span>-system line from Diagnostics based on Hana<\/span> integrate - and thus from the Pharma-<\/span>system to separate.<\/p>\n

The plan for the international rollout project calls for four waves.<\/p>\n

In the first wave, the rollout was to take place at the S\u00e3o Paulo site in Brazil<\/span> The first task was to develop the new Americas system line based on Hana<\/span> build up.<\/p>\n

Wave two was also challenging because several countries were rolled out and set productive at the same time: First were Argentina<\/span> and Colombia<\/span> the turn, then followed Mexico<\/span>, Central America and the Caribbean (Panama<\/span>, Guatemala<\/span>, Nicaragua<\/span>, Costa Rica<\/span>).<\/p>\n

As part of a \"big ticket\" workshop and detailed fit-gap sessions in the USA<\/span> the project participants worked out which processes, developments and interfaces exist in the countries of wave two, which system differences and legal requirements (such as \"legal reporting\" and \"e-invoicing\") exist and which process adjustments are therefore necessary.<\/p>\n

This preparatory step was helpful in meeting the tight timelines and successfully coordinating the large project team spread across four continents.<\/p>\n

Oktay Yavuz, IT project manager for the Gloire for Americas program at Roche Diagnostics:<\/p>\n

\"Our goal is clear: After completion of the project, all Diagnostics sales offices in South, Central and North America are to be equipped with an independent Diagnostics-SAP<\/span>-System work\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Know-how in demand<\/h3>\n

Especially with its Brazil<\/span>- and LATAM expertise, cbs was the first choice.<\/p>\n

Here, the company was able to draw on its extensive experience from more than
\n50 projects in Brazil<\/span> refer to. This also includes special expertise on the very complex legal requirements imposed by the Brazilian tax system on companies operating there.<\/p>\n

Finally, cbs has special experience in the area of Hana<\/span> - from training courses to Implementation<\/span> the cbs consultants are very familiar with the new database technology.<\/p>\n

The integrated solution approach for the complex carve-out and migration project was also convincing. SAP<\/span>-system transformations, cbs offers the cbs ET Enterprise Transformer, an integrated standard software that can also be used for combined use cases of SAP<\/span>-system transformations at the process, system and data levels can be managed holistically.<\/p>\n

Oktay Yavuz:<\/p>\n

\"With cbs ET, the extensive migration to the processes of Roche Diagnostics could be implemented in a structured and secure manner within the specified time.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

From Pharma to Diagnostics in Brazil<\/h3>\n

Roche Diagnostics chose the following project approach for the first wave of the international rollout: The new template Gloire was to be implemented with an international team in Brazil<\/span> be rolled out, including the SAP<\/span>-GRC NFe solution for tax reporting and the transmission of tax documents, the so-called Nota Fiscals, to the Brazilian tax authorities.<\/p>\n

In a period of only ten months, including onboarding of the 80-strong international project team from Germany<\/span>, the USA<\/span>, Colombia<\/span>, Panama<\/span>, Mexico<\/span>, Brazil<\/span> and the Switzerland<\/span>, it was a matter of Brazil<\/span> the own America<\/span>-system line based on Hana<\/span> build up.<\/p>\n

In addition, it was a matter of rolling out the Gloire template in the South American country and implementing the country-specific requirements based on the Brazilian tax system and extensive legal reporting.<\/p>\n

In order to set up the new system line, it was necessary to check the template to be rolled out and, in particular, the customer-specific developments for their Hana<\/span>-suitability.<\/p>\n

All template processes and functions were fully tested. The rollout of Gloire comprised the functions Sales, Service, Logistics, Order Management<\/span>, Contract Management<\/span>, Finance and Controlling.<\/p>\n

In this first wave, Roche pulled Brazil<\/span> from the Pharma-<\/span>SAP system and integrated into the DiagnosticsSAP<\/span>-This was possible in such a short time thanks to the long-standing partnership between Roche and cbs.<\/p>\n

The Data<\/span> The cbs ET was used to transfer the data from the productive Pharma-<\/span>SAP system and transferred to the new Diagnostics-SAP<\/span>-system imported.<\/p>\n

In order to keep data quality consistently high and avoid redundancies, data cleansing was also carried out in the production system in advance of the data migration.<\/p>\n

In order to be able to check its results at an early stage, the Data<\/span> already for the first time Test<\/span> extracted from the production system.\"CBS<\/a><\/p>\n

The organizational unit in Brazil<\/span> adapted to the Gloire template, which was extended to include local legal and business-critical requirements. At the same time, the team tested the Brazil<\/span>-specifics and put them on.<\/p>\n

More Tests<\/span> with migrated Data<\/span> followed. During the entire Brazil<\/span>-project, it was also necessary to implement a large number of Interfaces<\/span> adapt and implement.<\/p>\n

After numerous test routines and the implementation of all local and legal requirements, the solution was installed in the new Diagnostics-SAP<\/span>-system was finally put into production.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, users in the Brazilian organizational units are working with the Diagnostics SAP-ERP system<\/span> from Roche on the basis of Hana<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The successful start in Brazil<\/span> marks an important milestone in the overall project: The chosen strategy and project approach have proven their worth. In Brazil<\/span> out-of-the-box solutions are now available that are precisely tailored to the needs of Roche Diagnostics.<\/p>\n

With the separation of Roche Pharmaceuticals and Roche Diagnostics at the system level, the company benefits from a new lean SAP<\/span>-system line.<\/p>\n

The number of Interfaces<\/span> could be achieved through the use of Best Practice<\/span>-processes and the know-how of cbs also reduce. The Roche Group's company-wide guidelines were ensured.<\/p>\n

The project was completed \"in time & budget\" and the go-live date was met.<\/p>\n

After the successful go-live in Brazil<\/span>, Argentina<\/span>, Colombia<\/span>, Mexico<\/span>, Panama<\/span> and in the other Central American countries, the challenging project is entering the next round: the third wave with the system conversion in Chile<\/span>, Peru<\/span> and Ecuador<\/span>, Venezuela<\/span> and Uruguay<\/span> and parallel to this in the USA<\/span> is pending. Finally, the last rollout follows after Canada<\/span>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
