Address verification cloud service - Search & Verify addresses globally


Oracle Data as a Service (DaaS, aka Social Data and Insight Cloud Service) for Sales enables smarter
selling by discovering and reaching prospects with the most comprehensive third-party data, including
millions of companies, contacts, and social media profiles. Now available as a pre-built integration
with Oracle Sales Cloud is Oracle DaaS Address Verification Cloud Service, based on worldwide (200+
Countries) location data packs provided by Loqate (www.loqate.com). Oracle Sales Cloud (with the
Data Quality add-on) is natively integrated with the Address Verification Cloud Service. This
integration lets Oracle Sales Cloud users perform real-time and batch address verification and address
enhancement on accounts and contacts. For example:

• Check the validity of your contact or account addresses


• Correct errors, such as misspelled city or street names
• Enhance addresses with missing elements, such as zip codes or county
• Standardize address elements (change Drv to Dr.)

Real-Time Address Verification Sales reps can perform on-the-spot address verification when creating
a new account in Oracle Sales Cloud, preventing incorrect data from entering the system. The address
verification level can be configured to highly granular levels, like the delivery point or PO box or a
higher level, depending on your needs.

verification on thousands of records at a time. They’re provided with details of each batch cleansing,

WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ORACLE SERVICES

including how many records were cleaned and how many failed. Address Verification Cloud Service
also can be consumed via APIs for use in other Oracle or third-party applications; however, customers

other than Oracle Sales Cloud is not available.

A Modern Student Experience

There is no more demanding and discerning user population of technology today than students.
Coming of age in the online era means that today’s students have an expectation of a simplified and
intuitive user experience that mirrors the consumer and social applications that comprise the majority
of their online interaction. Student Management has been architected from the ground up as a
student-centric offering, with functionality and presentation that starts with “what does the student
need to do” and only then follows up with “what needs to happen behind the scenes to help them do
that.

Student Management allows students to:

• Self-create an account: no waiting on paperwork or administrator data entry, students can create
an account, find learning and enroll all in one sitting.
• Find learning opportunities (e.g., courses) using modern search paradigms: from intelligent type-
ahead searching to curated postings like trending and highlighted courses to the use of
configurable facets and filters to narrow results, students can quickly and easily find their way to
just the right class.
• Enroll and Pay-as-You-Go: students want to enroll and get started; you want to get students
enrolled. With a streamlined business process and point and click interface, students can quickly
progress through finding their class (including the number of open seats), adding it to their cart,
and paying for it. Students get quick access to the learning they need, and institutions instantly
see the status of enrollments and the financial viability of offerings.
• View their courses: with one click access, student can view their current courses, either in a
filterable List view or with Course Cards that provide additional details like meeting times, credits,
location (with embedded mapping) and more in a handy at-a-glance format.
• Manage their finances: students can always know their financial situation with direct access to
view and manage their individual account.

The Integrated Student Cloud

Today’s student’s want meaningful engagement with every interaction and empowerment to act on
their own at the time and through the channel of their choosing. They also now expect that every
process should be delivered in a frictionless experience. Oracle Student Management is a key
component of Oracle Student Cloud that brings together world class customer experience capabilities
to the institution, not just integrated harmonized for engagement and empowerment eliminating
friction points at every step.

Capabilities such as Oracle Sales Cloud for Higher Education, Marketing Cloud for Higher Education,
Social Engagement and Monitoring, Social Marketing, and Oracle Service Cloud are not just integrated
but capabilities are embedded throughout Student Management to provide unmatched insight and
frictionless experience.

Oracle social cloud


SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

• Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM), an Oracle Social Cloud business solution, is
the industry’s first unified social platform that delivers a seamless experience across listening,
engagement, content creation, community management, paid media and the all-important
analysis of a company’s social media efforts. By integrating two of Oracle’s powerful social
products—Social Marketing (SM) and Social Engagement & Monitoring (SE&M)—Oracle
delivers a unified, complete and integrated social business solution. Oracle SRM is integrated
with key Oracle Customer Experience (CX) applications, including marketing, service, sales and
commerce. Only Oracle can deliver the critical social management tools organizations need
today, while enabling them to innovate and extend social across their enterprises for the
future. Successful businesses will be social businesses. Oracle will help organizations get there.

• Socially Enabling the Enterprise: A Digital Innovation Strategy Oracle’s strategy to socially
enable the enterprise began with the strategic acquisitions of leading social innovators Vitrue,
Collective Intellect and Involver. These cutting-edge technologies, along with Oracle’s
enterprise Social Network solution and Social Data, have become the core components of
Oracle Social Cloud. With social’s importance rising across all business units, Oracle is pursuing
an aggressive and ongoing strategy of integrating social throughout its CX applications to
reach, listen, learn and engage with customers at every touchpoint, regardless of channel or
device. For example, Oracle Marketing Cloud seamlessly integrates social technologies to
deliver the industry’s only fully integrated digital and social marketing solution. Similar social
integrations are available across Oracle’s other CX solutions like RightNow, ATG, Siebel, and
more. Innovative businesses have the customer at the center. That requires a collaborative
and connected strategy across people, processes and technology. Oracle is driving innovation
for customers’ CX strategies daily.

• Industry Landscape: Moving from Silos to Connected Technology Increasingly consumers


across the globe turn to social channels to learn, engage and share information about
organizations and businesses. Oracle takes a long-term strategic approach to social media –
understanding that businesses want a range of best-of-breed social media capabilities,
working in concert together, while integrating with other business systems. The social
technology space can be overwhelming. Today, there are many social media management
vendors in the marketplace all claiming to meet marketing and business needs. The reality is
most of the solutions are point solutions, meaning they offer one piece of the social solution.
Businesses are then left to piece together three or four of these solutions to create a software
suite that meets all their social media needs. A few enterprise software providers have

18
WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ORACLE SERVICES

attempted to piece together smaller point solutions to create a social media suite to handle a
variety of social media activities. In reality, the tools within these suites are neither unified
with each other nor integrated with other critical CX business solutions. As a unified and
integrated platform, Oracle SRM is the only solution ready to meet today’s social media
management needs, with an eye towards the future, as organizations evolve to extend social
across every customer touch point and throughout their enterprises.

• Deeper Listening: Eliminate Dirty Data for Precise Insights At any moment, there are millions
of social conversations flying across the ever-expanding social web. The vast majority won’t
matter to an organization, but many listening products deliver that non-essential data as
results—creating a dirty data dilemma. Oracle SRM listens across paid, owned and earned
media content on social media networks, message boards, blogs, consumer review sites, and
video sites across the globe—with access to more than 700 million messages daily. Only Oracle
offers Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), an advanced technology that cuts through the noise to
expose contextual meaning. It delivers more accurate, precise and relevant insights. Oracle
SRM capabilities go well beyond keyword and Boolean to reveal actionable insights like
consumer intent, product likes/dislikes, and customer service issues. Oracle delivers the
insights that are most important to an organization, so they can act at the speed of social—
and eliminate the dirty data dilemma.

• Global Social: Global UI, Advanced Language Listening & Data Social media has broken
through regional, country and cultural boundaries to reveal a globally connected world. For
many businesses, their customers span the globe and are interacting across various social
networks, in different languages, and from different locations. To succeed in today’s global
world, an organization’s social solution has to listen, engage, publish and learn with no
location or language barriers. Oracle Social delivers robust global capabilities, including
localized UI in 31 languages; advanced listening in 19 languages.

• Social Everywhere: Integration with Oracle CX Applications Social matters not just to
‘marketing’ but increasingly to other customer-facing departments. Businesses that keep
social in a silo are missing a crucial piece of the customer puzzle. Oracle Social is integrated
with Oracle CX solutions like marketing, service, sales, and commerce. Whether that’s routing
a social complaint to service, leveraging social insights for stronger marketing messages, or
listening across social for cues to better product development, Oracle Social Cloud can help
you realize the power of social.

• Unified Platform: Essential Social Technologies in One Platform Businesses require more than
just social marketing or social listening or social analytics—they demand all of these and more.
But individual point solutions stitched together don’t provide the features and functionality
to optimize social marketing. Oracle has the industry’s only solution that performs listening,
publishing, engagement, analytics and content creation through a single user interface. Oracle
Social Cloud can replace two or three social point solutions with one integrated product.

Integration with Peoplesoft and other software using Fusion middleware


Integrating applications with PeopleSoft using Oracle Fusion Middleware - The integration process
explained

The main objective of this area is to provide an overview of the typical steps involved in building a
comprehensive, standards based, service oriented integration solution with PeopleSoft applications
using Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Step 1: Define your integration requirements and scope

• Identify key business requirements


• Identify key technical requirements
• Identify key operational requirements
• Identify applications level and module level integration touch points and business flows -
applicable for both your Application and the PeopleSoft application

Step 2: Plan Integration Approach

During this phase you identify an integration approach to build a comprehensive, standards based,
service oriented integration solution, using Oracle Fusion Middleware, and involves:

• Identify and obtain details about the PeopleSoft integration touch points, needed for the
integrated solution, using the PeopleSoft Interactive Services Repository. You can get more
information about the PeopleSoft Interactive Services Repository here.
• Identify services portfolio for your application - Identify the business objects, methods and
business services in your application, which need to be exposed as web services to build the
integration according to SOA principles.
• Identify Entity/Data Mapping and Transformation requirements of the integration
• Identify services portfolio for PeopleSoft. To integrate with PeopleSoft applications, you can
use native web services available or use the PeopleSoft Adapter, a component of Oracle
Fusion Middleware, to unlock the information assets available in the PeopleSoft application.

Step 3: Design the integration

• Complete the services portfolio and service-enable your application using Oracle SOA Suite
• Complete the services portfolio and service-enable PeopleSoft using Oracle SOA Suite
• Define Conceptual and Detailed Architecture (Capture Cross Functional Flows, Composite
Application portfolio, etc.)
• Develop high level and detailed process designs - Design individual business processes,
assembling services from each application. Specific business requirements need to be
considered, such as unidirectional or bi-directional flow, synchronous or asynchronous, real-
time or batch processing etc.

Step 4: Build the integration

• Setup / Organize the integrated development and test environment


• Build the services portfolio and service-enable your application using Oracle SOA Suite
• Build the services portfolio and service-enable the PeopleSoft application using Oracle SOA
Suite
• Use Oracle Enterprise Service Bus and/or BPEL Process Manager to connect your services
and orchestrate your processes with the PeopleSoft application

Data Migration
• Design and development of Data Migration strategy
• Installation of Data Integration Services
• Design and Development of Master Data Templates
• Conduct of Data Migration Workshops
• Identification of all data migration objects and development of data migration plan
• Review cleansed data and make test uploads
• Identify any errors and share with concerned teams early on
• Final review of clean data for completeness and upload data
• Report any errors
Training
Customer and ALTEN Calsoft Labs attach significant importance to training and enablement of the
team and users.
Internal Courses
Three levels of training will be delivered during the course of the Project.

• Level 1 Training: for Core Team members on a baseline configured solution prior to Business
Blueprint Phase. This is to enable the core team to understand the business processes as
configured and get a feel of the system’s capabilities in order to develop meaningful review of
business processes and provision of requirements. Duration of training will be 10-12 days for
each module.

• Level 2 Training: for Core Team members on the configured solution for the business during
the Realization phase prior to User Acceptance Testing (UAT). This is to enable the core team
to gain a good understanding of the configured solution and enable them to conduct UAT in
an effective manner. This training will be based on the business processes established. With
this training, ‘Train-the-Trainer’ concept will have been achieved, thus enabling the core team
to deliver end user training along with ALTEN Calsoft Labs consultants. Duration of training
will be 10-12 days for each module.

• Level 3 Training: for end users based on roles defined. Focus will be specifically on usage of
specific Oracle Cloud transactions as per defined roles and gain proficiency in using the
system. This training is conducted prior to Go-Live. End user training will be delivered in
clusters bringing together similar users (with similar profiles) around a geographical area.
Duration of training will be 3-5 days per role.
Testing
Testing will be as per approve Test Strategy and planning shared with Westchester

Go Live
• A final date for Go Live (allowing for any variations during Project Implementation) will be
defined the Realization Phase based on assessment of Program Managers of both Customer
and ALTEN Calsoft Labs
• A Go-Live Check Readiness in various areas will be conducted to determine state of readiness
to Go-Live. Any ‘RED’ indicators which are determined as SHOW STOPPERS will delay the Go-
Live

26
WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ORACLE SERVICES

• Go-Live must be conducted in the presence of Project Sponsor, Steering Committee, related
Management, Key End Users, Project Teams from both ALTEN Calsoft Labs &Customer
• Where customers/vendors must be informed shall be informed in due time about any
changes/impacts resulting from Go-Live

Post Go Live Support

• Post Go-Live Support on site for 1 months after completion of GO Live


• Scope of support will cover
o Ongoing issue resolution
o Hand holding and end user training
o Minor enhancements
o Trouble shooting, problem analysis and resolution

6. Implementation Strategy
ALTEN Calsoft Labs recommends big bang approach to implementation in two streams – the main
stream being Oracle Cloud Components deployment and the last stream is that of interfacing and
integrating with the PeopleSoft Campus Solution, PeopleSoft Finance, Touchnet and Clean Address
platforms. This is to ensure that processes in the PeopleSoft Campus Solution, PeopleSoft Finance,
Touchnet and Clean Address platforms are well understood and addressed in the Oracle cloud
implementation. Thereafter such processes setup in the Oracle Cloud are then integrated with the
above Solutions.

• This is recommended to ensure that Westchester Community College business requirements


are understood holistically, architected on the system in an integrated manner to be fully met,
while giving adequate attention to process design, quality of data, and team enablement.
These elements are critical for a success.

• In implementing the solution, we will adhere to the Best Practices’ and no developments will
be encouraged unless approved by the Westchester Project Sponsor.

• Technical solution for Westchester Community College will be derived based on ALTEN Calsoft
Labs’ pre-configured solution which is built on best practices. This will be baselined early on
thru team training. Templates will be built and used throughout project. At the same time
there will extensive emphasis on Training and knowledge transfer throughout the project.
Early focus on data migration will enable the teams to prepare and validate quality data.

• ALTEN Calsoft Labs also does not recommend a ‘Parallel’ run in its approach to projects.

• In our experience, it is extremely important to initially focus on the right solution design based
on an alignment with business processes, imparting extensive training to the project team and
enable and equip them early on and in a sustained manner, focus on quality in data migration
and thoroughness of testing efforts to lay the foundation for a successful go-live. Once Go-live
is achieved, users must be weaned away from legacy environments, else the perils of a failure
can take shape and impact the system utilization efforts (more so because users tend to resist
shifting from their comfort zones) and extra efforts required for dual entry to systems will
become a natural cause for user resistance.

27
WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE ORACLE SERVICES

• Visibility of success is often times measured from the nature of reports. Westchester Community College has rightly focused on group-wide
management reporting early on. ALTEN Calsoft Labs in its scope of work has considered a certain number of reports as the key deliverables.

• Success of the project is in team work. Early on integrating both Westchester Community College and Implementation partner teams are essential to
bring a success. These can be achieved thru focused team building efforts. Effective Change management will be one of the key activities which is one
of the key enablers of success.

• ALTEN Calsoft Labs upfront commits to strong management commitment in partnering with Westchester Community College. And ALTEN Calsoft Labs
will request and demand strong management commitment from Westchester Community College

Methodology
ALTEN Calsoft Labs proposes to use a structured, phased implementation methodology based on Oracle rapid cloud implementation framework. The exhibit

7. Project management Approach


The Project will be managed by a Program Management Office comprising of the Program Manager
from Customer and Program Manager from ALTENCALSOFT.
Project Management team will aim to achieve goals and objectives at an application/platform level,
where multiple streams will be running simultaneously. Some of the objectives are:

• Managing Architecture across projects

• Leveraging Synergies between projects (skills, design etc.)

• Developing and deploying uniform processes across an application/platform

34
WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ORACLE SERVICES

Further it is important to note that the Project Management team will address these activities as
well:

• Project Planning, coordination and follow-up


• Scope Management
• Issue Management
• Project Deliverables
• Project Acceptance Criteria
• Technical Management
• Issues & Risk Management
• Change Management
• Solution Architecture
• Project Communications plan
• Quality Management
• Project Documentation
• Training and Acceptance strategy
• Quality Assurance
• Post Implementation Review

Scope Management
An integrated approach to Scope Management followed by ALTEN CALSOFT LABS helps to ensure the
success of the Project on time and within cost. It at the same time, controls the project resources and
project implementation timelines, thereby increasing the productivity on the project.

The ALTEN CALSOFT LABS Scope Management approach treats Scope Management as a continuous
and iterative process. Both Project Managers will take a proactive approach in managing any scope
creep.
Issue Management
Managing issues is an essential responsibility of the project managers and is fundamental to the
success of an implementation. The focus of the project managers should be to resolve or prevent
issues. Issues that must be resolved for completion of a successful implementation are identified in
each phase of the project process. Typically, issues must be resolved before phase completion and
before beginning the next phase.

Data Management
The purpose of the data management is to develop the designs, plans, and procedures to support
legacy data migration and data archiving.
Data migration and data archiving are two distinct data management activities required in an Oracle
Cloud implementation. Data migration involves moving data from the legacy source systems into the
target structures required for a successful go-live.
Data archiving is a post-go-live activity focused on removing data that is not required in the Oracle
Cloud solution. Large quantities of data can affect the performance of the database and make
database management more difficult, so you should archive any Oracle cloud data not needed online.
Data migration is complex, and many of the risks and challenges are not discovered until the detailed
analysis and design during blueprint. The activities performed during blueprinting allow the team to

35
WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ORACLE SERVICES

validate the preliminary requirements and refine the scope and approach based on their findings. The
team should anticipate change, so it is essential to use the blueprint baseline to validate and
recalibrate the projected work effort for the remaining phases Therefore data migration efforts are
addressed early on.
Data Migration comprises of two streams

• Master Data
o Master is the relatively static data which is used and reused by more than one Oracle
Cloud module often times, but fully within its own domain.
• Cutover Data

Careful consideration of all aspects must be made in preparing for a successful and smooth data
migration in all aspects.
The key activities are:

• Master Data
• Master data objects Assessment
• Data Migration Strategy
• Data Migration Plan
• Determination of templates
• Data migration workshops
• Data preparation
• Data quality review Data upload and reconciliation
• Cutover Data
• Cutover data objects Assessment
• Cutover Strategy
• Determination of templates
• Cutover migration workshops
• Data preparation
• Data quality review
• Data upload and reconciliation

Testing Management
Drawing on our deep industry-specific knowledge and expertise, benchmarks, and proven
methodologies, we will assist Customer in optimizing your processes and systems to ensure the
objectives of the project are met.
Testing is a critical aspect of any project implementation. It is a key activity in ensuring that the
delivered system is able to meet the business requirements and is functioning as expected, free of
errors.

Risk Management
Effective risk management will be a critical success factor for our Customers’ projects, and ACL
implementation methodology provides template tools for risk identification, assessment, mitigation,
and ongoing management throughout the project.
ALTEN Calsoft Labs approach to Project Risk Management includes the activities of conducting risk
management planning, identification, analysis, response planning, and controlling risk on a project.
We are committed to increase the likelihood and impact of positive events, and decrease the
likelihood and impact of negative events in the project with effective Risk Management framework

8. Critical Success Factors


Custom Implementation approach & project delivery
With an extensive experience of having delivered successful projects globally, ALTEN Calsoft Labs
offers its unique approach for implementation to ensure a sure success. ALTEN Calsoft Labs offers a
unique and innovative approach to delivering Oracle On premise and Cloud solutions. ALTEN Calsoft
Labs considers that the Westchester Community College’ solution should be built on

▪ A clear understanding of Westchester Community College’s business objectives for the project
to be outlined in the Project Preparation phase
▪ Establish Enterprise Architecture
▪ IT infrastructure design driven by overall business needs
▪ Business process reviewed and aligned with best business practices to form the core basis of
the implementation, and specifically, ALTEN Calsoft Labs is keen to ensure that the business
has:
o Taken a holistic view of the entire business
o Enabled its team to understand the functional inter-dependencies
o Reinforced within the business users the integrated nature of Oracle Cloud, therefore
considered the need for Westchester Community College to implement a strong
change management program, and most importantly, ensured that important
business processes are not left hanging the Enterprise solution derived from the
above
This approach ensures a fool proof implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud solution Westchester
Community College.

Enterprise Organization Structure


Enterprise Organization Structure is the process of describing, and the description of, the desired
future state of an organization's business process, technology and information to best support the
organization's business strategy. It also includes the definition of the steps required, and the standards
and guidelines to get from the current state to the desired future state

This is achieved by conducting Design Workshops early on by a team of Senior Oracle Cloud
professionals along with the Key Management Team of Westchester Community College. The
outcome of these workshops will have the envisioned enterprise structure identified, designed and
approved by Westchester Community College.

9. Key Assumptions
• Customer to provide existing BRD for CRM requirements. If not, may involve Sales Cloud
standard screens driven requirement definition
• The standard business flows and Oracle Sales Cloud functionality will serve as the base for
the design (i.e. adoption of OOB system design) and implementation

Customization is performed
• Formation of a Project team empowered for critical decisions.
• Project kick start subject to the availability of Oracle Sales Cloud environment
• The implementation will be based on the cloud deployment model, hosted at Oracle

44

order can be discussed
