Primary Goal – Deploy Rel.1 in time, quality, within budget and flexible enough to adjust to ever changing business requirements

Agents/Brokers: 70.000 active Agents /Brokers/Corporations (300.000 terminated) Processing: average of 50.000 Policy Transactions per day

Data Migration: 2 years of compensation history

30 Mio transactions to migrate 370.000 Brokers/Agents and Corporations Timeline: 7 ½ month from start of Blueprint to Go-Live

Subsequent releases are slated to go-live during Q1 2012 and Q3 2012.

Release 1

Challenges:

• Highly aggressive timeline

• HDFC’s highly agile way of running their business requires easy adaptability of the System

• Large data volumes for both data migration and daily processing

• No prior SAP experience for most of the HDFC team

• Resource crunch from HDFC side due to ongoing operational issues with the legacy system

• High Resource fluctuation on the Client side

• No internal Change Management Process in place

• A multi-vendor environment (i.e. Hosting, Interfaces to Incoming and Outgoing Interfaces, Data Conversion, and Reporting all different)

• Project team spread out across 2 different countries and multiple time zones (US, India)

Identified project specific approaches which helped deliver high quality results at a competitive price and accelerated timeline (1/2)

Global Delivery Agile Delivery

• Introduction of 2-3 person TAC- teams that work around the clock on the same deliverable – ensure smooth handovers daily

• Building up project specific ICM off-shore teams takes time – plan for it

• Spend the time on training the project team early on

• Start heavy loaded on-site and increase off-site % over time.

• Have 1-2 team members onsite at all times

• Do it right the first time, no short term solutions that will become long term solutions

• Ensure early and continuous delivery of functionality.

• Ensure reusability of code and ensure customizability instead of hard coding.

• Involve business during realization phase to avoid long periods without tangible results.

• Implementation of small building blocks that are re-usable over and over again.

• Gained invaluable flexibility and speed to market in developing new cutting edge commission schemes and new ways of managing the Sales Force.

• Automatisation of ALL manual workarounds and adjustment entries that needed to get passed on a daily basis (thousands of adjustment entries were passed manually per month)

• Built up a team of off-shore resources with deep ICM knowledge. Will benefit in upcoming releases. • Focus on core future functionalities rather than rebuild the present state, and make sure everyone shares the

vision

Results HDFC Transformation

Process Standardazation

• Focus on process standardization while keeping the business value proposition intact.

• Leverage ICM’s build in flexibility • Allow reasonable change due to

changing requirements, plan for changes and ensure the system is flexible enough.

• Standardize the reporting and enable users to individualize it

Reusability Interface Development

Testing

• Latest Technology Trends (e.g.

Mobile, SOA) & real-time data processing add very limited value to financial transformation initiatives.

• Use batch interfaces which are optimized for mass data processing

• Enable manual data upload and data manipulation for testing/error handling purposes

• Developed one universal inbound pre-processing framework which is used by every feeding system as well as for data migration

• Parallelize the testing of data migration and ongoing interface saves a lot of time and waiting times were reduced • Defect fixes and ongoing changes after go-live are relatively easy as only one set of coding has to be changes due

to the modularization used. • Using the same concept over an over again reduces training and ramp up time significantly

Results HDFC Transformation

• Don’t wait for interfaces to be ready to simulate Legacy System feeds before the legacy system integration is ready for testing, build test tools.

• Do diligent unit testing throughout the development phase

• Insist on scenario based testing documentation and monitor the progress closely

• Ensure efficient and complete regression testing

• Define one global interface and re-use for all Source systems

• Use the same concepts across the system so users can adapt easier (Reports, transaction processing, Master Data)

• Focus on re-using code (not configuration) across the system, build small functions of code that do only ONE thing and that are just assembled differently over and over again for different functionalities

Identified project specific approaches which helped deliver high quality results at a competitive price and accelerated timeline (2/2)

• 70+ distinct Incentive schemes / contests for 25 different roles of Internal Employees in 3 different channels with 6 hierarchy levels each

Advice for those starting a new Project: DO

• Enable the business lead to change existing processes • Expect and anticipate change • Have a clear vision and communicate this early • Work in small teams • Build the right team • Ensure early involvement of the business team • Break up Large Projects into smaller subprojects

DON’T

• Let tight timelines take away from the right way to do it • Let exceptions define the process – determine the WHY, not the HOW • Let people point fingers across corporate silos/vendors • Underestimate Data Migration and Data Cleanup • Underestimate the amount of involvement required by finance, operations, and IT

teams especially during testing
