Response to the Endothon Request for Proposal

I. Development and Delivery of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System

Synesthor’s response shall demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter and describe the approach that will be taken to accomplish the services requested.

Endothon anticipates the ERP project may include the following activities. Synesthor proposes the following projection of development activities it feels will most effectively meet the objectives set forth in the RFP:

a. Evaluate and assess Endothon’s current business, manufacturing, finance, sales, human resources, customer service, and technology environment, including services provided, application software, infrastructure, funding, and technology service methodology.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will do a complete review of the Endothon business structure, its goals and objectives, and its five-year plan and vision. It will complete an analysis and alignment of its business goals, both present and future, in the areas of

• manufacturing

• finance and accounting

• human resources

• customer service and support

• information technology

A review and alignment document will be produced that will include an in-depth SWOT analysis for each of these areas. Synesthor will provide a proposal to address the gaps and provide additional functionality that is in the best interest of Endothon and various processes, artifacts, and applications that might be productive to Endothon’s future growth.

b. Evaluate Endothon’s organizational structure and staffing to ensure that these are positioned to support and properly meet Endothon’s current needs and next 5 years of ERP needs with the necessary reporting relationships.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will research and review the as-is organizational structure and staffing assignments relative to the needs of a new ERP system and make pertinent and progressive recommendations. Synesthor will provide an organizational plan that will support the strategic direction and tactical application of its new ERP system.

c. Assist Endothon in establishing a governance framework and approach to guide and ensure optimal project decisions and investments with regard to the ERP project. This framework and approach should support the company’s business objectives, including the most appropriate service provisioning agreements and management oversight.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will research and recommend an IT governance framework and approach for Endothon to use for the management and support of their ERP system. Synesthor will provide a best practices baseline and Information Technology Systems Management (ITSM) standard approach in its governance framework that will provide a framework for the planning, design, development, implementation, and maintenance of the Endothon ERP systems environment.

d. Collaborate with all levels of management in all company departments and other key ERP stakeholders, as well as the IT staff, to determine current and future functionality needs and the company’s desired business systems end state.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will conduct research and interviews of all key Endothon stakeholders to determine the specific current and future Endothon ERP functionality needs. The results of the research will be a published analysis document with particular recommendations and paths forward for the most successful implementation of an Endothon ERP system.

e. Document the appropriate application and infrastructure requirements based on the company’s priorities. Research options for meeting the discovered needs. Make project recommendations that will help ensure the company’s ability to effectively select, configure, implement, and maintain a highly functional ERP system that meets and supports the company’s current and future business needs.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. An analysis of the information obtained from Synesthor’s preliminary review of the RFP and meetings held at Endothon revealed the need for three major SAP modules: Financial Accounting and Controlling (FICO), Human Resources Management System (HRMS), and Sales and Distribution (SD). The following brief description outlines the general nature of each of these systems:

1. Financial Accounting and Controlling (FICO) Module: This includes procurement and payments for international contracts. It also includes the recording of financial transactions and the assurance of the correct payments for the correct performance. Transfer pricing (monetary exchange rates) tracking and posting are continually managed by this system.

2. Human Resources Management System (HRMS) Module: All personnel data, including personal information, work history, medical records, training history, salary information, and organizational placement are contained in this system.

3. Sales and Distribution (SD) Module: The eight manufacturing plants are automated and tracked through this module. This includes the proprietary designs and components of the various products. Product design information is transmitted in encrypted form from the headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to the various plants on a continual basis. This includes customer data, shipping and receiving information, and inventory loads.

Additional modules or third party applications may be needed as well, but they will be proposed in subsequent proposal recommendations.

This response to proposal will engage the three modules in point (e) above, and this will be the recommended scope for this project, including the time and cost expectations given herein. Synesthor will fully plan, design, configure, implement, and support (via the HyperCare procedure set forth in the statement of work [SOW] herein) these modules as described as the Endothon SAP ERP system.

f. Prioritize recommended actions and plans that ensure projects are based on industry standards and best practices.

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will provide a portfolio management plan that outlines the various projects necessary to plan, design, configure, implement, and operate the Endothon ERP system and the selected modules. This plan will be framed in accordance with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). PMI-certified project managers will be assigned to the Endothon account and perform all tasks in accordance with PMI guidelines. Additionally, Synesthor will provide ITIL V2 Foundations and Practitioner-certified personnel to support the Endothon portfolio of projects. The program methods and results will conform to ISO 20000 as well as meet SOX 2011 Standards for financial audit and quality assurance.

g. Conduct workshops tailored to company departments to present draft findings and elicit additional business needs.

1. A five-year plan and detailed budget to install and support the ERP environment

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will present the ERP plan complete with budget projections for licensing, technical support, maintenance, warranty support, configuration programming, project management, program management, infrastructure acquisitions, consulting, and documentation. These cost areas will comprise the total scope of budgeting for the program and will be reflected in the ERP plan as well as in the enclosed SOW.

2. Outline strategies, goals, and objectives aligned to provided functionality of the recommended system

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. The ERP plan will contain a detailed feature and functionality provisioning list. Each feature and functionality will be separately drawn out, fully explained, and defined in user-based terms so as to provide a comprehensive coverage of system, function, and feature operation and maintenance.

3. Incorporate key benchmarks related to spending and staffing of a configuration, implementation, and support team necessary to successfully engage and manage the system

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will provide a highly skilled, well-trained SAP configuration and implementation team for this program. The program principal will provide weekly metrics based on key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to program and project milestones in the ERP plan. The weekly progress reports will be separated into three different targeted updates: One for the program sponsor and the chief information officer, one for the executive steering committee, and one for stakeholders. Synesthor will rely on Endothon to indicate the identity of the personnel who will be receiving the reports their desired format for receiving the weekly progress reports. Additionally, Synesthor will provide a monthly report with future projections and a rolling average of metrics based on the KPIs. Special status reports will be generated for the steering committee’s quarterly update meetings, along with the physical presence of the senior program principals from Synesthor.

4. Outline key project methods and processes, using best practices and a standards-based approach

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will use the BIP Methodology (Business Implementation Process) for its project execution practice. This consists of five phases of project work: anticipation, design/foundation, completion, cutover, and HyperCare. Each phase for each project will have a gate that will require an approval from the steering committee and sponsor prior to progression to the next phase. Synesthor has had tremendous success with this model of project management and will ensure that the Endothon project team will be trained and made familiar with the process before any work starts.

5. Provide project timelines, hardware and software needs, implementation costs, and project dependencies and benefits

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor commits that the project plan, timelines, hardware, software, costs, benefits, and challenges as well as dependencies will be noted in the Endothon ERP Plan. This plan will be the central repository for all information related to the program. Synesthor will hold monthly finance coordination meetings to reconcile project costs, provide remediation if costs go beyond budget by more than 10%, and provide rolling projections of costs anticipated for the coming year by month. Program actions and project phase updates will be made as well as reports on gateway decisions and project summaries. All hardware and software acquisitions will be covered, and a review of project status will be made.

6. Identify staff resources and training required to implement the entire ERP plan

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will provide Endothon with a staffing organization plan that aligns with the requirements, skill sets, and resource demands of the new ERP system. Synesthor will also provide a two-year training plan, list of courses, syllabus material, and courseware necessary to achieve expert training levels and certifications in the systems operation, configuration, programming, support, remediation and diagnostics, and maintenance of the system. These artifacts will be provided in digital format and will be reproducible by Endothon.

7. Provide guidance and direction for Endothon’s ongoing IT governance and implementation of this ERP Plan

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor recommends the use of the ITIL governance program. Synesthor will train up to 50 members of the Endothon staff in ITIL Fundamentals V3 and 15 people in ITIL Practitioner V3 within a one-year period. Synesthor will pay for all training material, certification exams, and other training costs necessary to provide this training, on-site, at the Endothon headquarters.

8. Document and present the final plan to Endothon departments, IT staff, and executive senior management

Synesthor’s Response

Read and understood. Synesthor will provide the ERP program plan, the comprehensive plan on all aspects of the program, and the projects involved in this engagement. This plan will be presented to the Endothon executive management and staff, sponsor, and steering committee for review and final approval within three months of the date of the signing of the project contract.

Full documentation will be provided, including system run books, system schematics, logical flow charts, system diagnostics, and system operation troubleshoot procedures, including system back-ups and restores. Synesthor will provide an open digital resource management license to these publications for Endothon and will provide 25 copies of printed documentation and 10 DVD dDiscs of the Documentation for Endothon’s information repositories.

B. Risk Assessment

Use IT industry standards to perform a risk assessment and gap analysis on the effectiveness of Endothon’s current ERP system, infrastructure, security, and resourcing to identify and mitigate potential risk vulnerabilities in the implementation of a new system. This should also include an overview gap analysis of the current system functionality, the demands of the business as determined through due diligence research, and the functionality of the proposed system and its configuration.

Synesthor will use Excel, OTRS, or the Endothon Issue Tracker tool to create, track, and update all support issues. The tracker will contain the following:

• unique ID number

• incident category

• date and time of incident submission and any subsequent activities

• name and identity of the person recording and updating the incident record

• name, organization, and contact details of affected user(s)

• description of the incident symptoms

• details of any actions taken to try to diagnose, resolve or re-create the incident

• incident category, status and priority

• summary

Synesthor will provide weekly and monthly reports to provide an overall snapshot on open incidents, incidents closed, etc.

6. Escalation Process

At Synesthor, we use a well-defined escalation process to resolve the conflicts in a timely and professional manner to maintain the quality of support without disruption of services. Depending on the severity of the conflict, a timeline will be defined for escalation to the next level/upper management.

Synesthor will ensure the availability of the Synesthor steering committee members, such as practice director and account executive, to help proactively address the issue prior to the need of escalation.

The following are the steps that Synesthor will take to reduce the possibility of conflicts:

• periodic status call with the Synesthor and Endothon leads

• periodic steering committee meeting with key members from Synesthor and Endothon

• tracking escalation through issues and SLAs, as required.

• frequent communication with Endothon management
