Jim Steverson
Director, Computer Sciences Corp.
 

As a Director/Senior Program Manager with Computer Sciences Corporation's Chemical Group, located in Wilmington Delaware. Accounts, namely Enron and BHP, employ Documentum as a cornerstone of one or more mission critical application. Domain Systems, Inc. is providing both on-site and off-site technical services to my team's efforts. That support has been and currently is superb!

In the case of Enron, we are supporting an application called "EnFile" which is responsible for maintaining and retrieving natural gas and electricity tariffs to allow Enron business dealers to sell services at a competitive rate to their clients. EnFile operates in a Windows NT and Sun Solaris environment with Documentum 3.1.7, Oracle 7.3.4, and seventeen Visual Basic (VB) Components providing on-line and web front end services to Enron on a daily basis. EnFile's DocBase consists of over 825 tariffs, growing at a rate of about 30 percent per year. The DocBase requires in excess of 20 Gbytes disk storage, employing a RIAD 5 configuration.

In support of this effort I have a full time on-site Documentum specialist from Domain Systems. His level of expertise, his professionalism, and his high client interrelationships has been instrumental in achieving the high level of client satisfaction we have enjoyed on this project. Equally important has been the fast turn around on very short notice that Domain Systems has provided the team in quickly resolving complex issues we could not handle. I have nothing but the highest respect for Domain Systems' professionals and their competency. Because of my trust in Domain Systems and its staff, I have accepted a Migration Task to move EnFile off Documentum 3.1.7 and Oracle 7.3.4 to Documentum 4i and Oracle 8.1.6, which we estimate will be completed this summer.

In the case of BHP, we are supporting their global implementation of a Documentum 4i solution in providing global access, routing, and approval of all corporate and federal regulatory documentation. I have, once again, supplemental support from Domain Systems staff in Utah. This effort, like EnFile, is proceeding superbly, especially with the rapid, reliable Documentum expertise I am able to draw on from Domain Systems.

Implementation Planning
After analyzing your requirements, Domain Systems works with you to prepare a detailed implementation plan that describes the scope of the project. This plan serves as the blueprint for your implementation and includes resource and skill requirements, platform and peripheral support, training methodologies, application integration, legacy data issues, and other key topics. The plan often includes recommendations for a phased approach, in which you implement the total project in logical stages, and provides suggestions for a pilot project — a typical representation of your work that you can use as the first phase of your installation.

Data Analysis and Modeling
A successful implementation requires careful planning and analysis of the data you are managing. Domain Systems consultants work with you to define and document key elements of the implementation project. After defining your data's structure our consultants then work with you to develop configuration templates and a prototype configuration that is installed and tested at your site. Upon completion, you use this prototype to begin your pilot project.

Transition Strategies
Moving data from an old system to a new one is a challenging task. Domain Systems can develop a transition strategy for converting legacy data and recommend or design conversion processes that meet your needs. Domain Systems maintains a state-of-the-art data migration center to accomplish this accurately and rapidly.

Systems Integration
Combining the most effective off-the-shelf products into a complete system requires both product and integration expertise. Our consultants have years of experience customizing and integrating a variety of third-party applications into total system solutions including ERP and CAD.

Custom Development Tools
When your requirements go beyond standard off-the-shelf applications, Domain Systems can develop custom tools. Our experienced professionals provide solutions for the most complex integration requirements, including custom filters, translations, and macros; interfaces with external processes and databases; and custom tools and scripts.

Project Management
A successful implementation requires careful planning and management. The many processes involved are not sequential, but intertwine and overlap. Each process affects the others, like gears in a finely tuned machine. An experienced Domain Systems program manager oversees all phases of your project implementation by scheduling and coordinating the appropriate tasks and resources. Our project management expertise and careful attention to detail ensure that your implementation is successful while allowing you to continue your day-to-day production schedule.

Contract Services
Perhaps you simply want to install your application, get it configured and have it integrated into your current processes. You can avoid a lengthy and sometimes costly re-engineering effort in doing this. Usually however you'll still need some consulting to get your new application up and running. Domain Systems also offers individual application services for PCM/PDM/EDM and some Manufacturing applications.

Our field consultants have the specific product expertise to help you avoid costly mistakes and lost time while allowing your application to be effective as quickly as possible.
