4 4 Marvell’s Business Requirements for MIS All Business Applications need to adhere to General Computing Controls for SOX & Seperation of Duties (SOD) management No write/update access to MIS/IT Team in Production Environments Auditable Separation of Duties Control Provide documented track history for System Changes with adequate approvals Key requirements by Corporate Compliance/Audit Group Corporate Business Applications is governed by MIS Policies & Procedures All Changes to PROD should be performed by Production Control (QA) Production Control will use automated tools to promote changes Every Change should be certified by QA for Performance & Functionality Business User Approvals, Test Cases, Test Results are mandatory Production Control’s activity should be documented for easy – auditability Key requirements by IT Corrections/Promotion Policy

5 5 Key to Success: Process Automation AUTOMATION, EXECUTION, ENFORCEMENT equals ACCOUNTABILITY, AUDITABILITY & TRACEABILITY

6 6 Management by Metrics for Measurable Service Improvement “If you don’t know IT, you can’t measure IT” “If you don’t measure IT, you can’t manage IT” “If you don’t manage IT, you can’t improve IT”

14 14 Key Benefits for Marvell  A comprehensive QA process was established.  All changes are implemented first in a QA environment. Unless all tests passed in QA, the code was not approved to migrate to production  A exhaustive test script library of over 145 test scripts covering all the major business processes was created to support the above process  The Application Signature functionality allowed Marvell to test the applications using the same user and responsibility as in production.  Test Plan functionality allows Marvell to switch testing environments with no code change

15 15 Automated Setup Migration Solution includes the following components –Mercury/HP Quick Test Professional –Entegration Align Setup Manager Automatically migrates the Functional Setups from one DB instance to another Current coverage of setups in the following modules AR, AP, GL, INV, BOM, WIP, OSFM, OM, PO, CM

16 16 Entegration Align Setup Manager J2EE based platform for automating the setup migration using –Oracle native SQL –Mercury Quick Test Professional –JAVA and XML Technologies Resulting in –Improved consistency and accuracy of setups –Complete audit trail of what was migrated –Reports comparing setups across instances

17 17 Entegration Align Architecture –Components Functions –Create Encumbrance Types –Purchasing Options –Tax Codes –…….. Packs –Comprises of one or more functions Workflows –Pre-determined flow of path »Extract from PRJ2 »Migrate to STAGE »Migrate to PROD Users Responsibilities

18 18 Entegration Align Architecture Function1 Function2 Function3 Function4 Pack + Extract from PRJ2 Migrate To STAGE Migrate To PROD Workflow = Setup Run

19 19 Key Features –Security Features Restricted Users Restricted Responsibilities Restricted Workflows

20 20 Key Features –Scalability Can add custom setup functions Can be expanded to include other applications like CRM/HRMS

21 21 Key Features –Ease of Use Can group together related setups Can sequence the setups to satisfy dependencies Very useful while deploying multiple setups related to a project

22 22 Key Features –Audit Trail Execution steps are recorded and stored A snapshot of before and after values is stored in DB for easy examination and reporting

23 23 Align Setup Console

24 24 Migration Details

25 25 Setup Functions Over 120 setup functions in the following areas –General Ledger –Accounts Receivables –Accounts Payables –Cash Management –Purchasing –Order Management –Inventory –Bills of Material –MRP –WIP/OSFM

26 26 Benefits for Marvell Setup migration to Production is now automated resulting in –Quick and accurate setups –Completely Audited Changes –Before and After Change Report –Eliminated the need to provide production setup access to BSAs
