1. Architecture & Design Services

In any customer centric organization, a CRM system sits at the top of a pyramid of IT systems that are used by customer-facing departments. The CRM system in turn interfaces with other enterprise systems to provide a 360 degree view of a customer. Our CRM Design Services identifies the critical success factors and creates a plan for success.

Our Design Services include:

  • Define CRM Strategy
  • Develop CRM Implementation Roadmap
  • Create an upgrade plan
  • Assess deployment and rollout readiness

2. Implementation Services

Additional customizations are built on top of the standard industry vertical to create a custom solution. Our Siebel implementation framework uses rapid prototyping along with developing re-usable components to create a solution tailored to your business processes.

Our Siebel Implementation Services include:

  • Business Analysis
  • Configuration and customization
  • Development of interfaces
  • Integration with Outlook and SharePoint
  • Development of data sync processes
  • Data cleansing and data loading
  • Rollout planning and execution
  • End User training development and delivery

Siebel provides several industry specific implementations that capture the data model and the process flows applicable to an industry.

3. Siebel Upgrade Services

An enterprise which may have implemented earlier version of Siebel can significantly benefit by upgrading to later versions of Siebel. Our Siebel Upgrade Services will provide you the roadmap to implement the current release level of Siebel. An upgrade would involve either a conversion or a full re-implementation.

Our Upgrade Services focus on both business and technical aspects of the upgrade. We assess business benefits and impacts of the upgrade such as new functionality, training needs, business data needs and business simplification opportunities. We also assess technical aspects such as infrastructure requirements, customization, integration
analysis, and deployment strategy. We apply proven upgrade methodologies and processes to ensure rapid upgrade time lines.

4. Support & Maintenance Services

Our Support and Maintenance Services include:

  • Level 1 support - Phone / Email / Chat
  • Level 2 support (Issue Resolution) per SLA
  • Level 3 support (Root cause analysis)
  • System monitoring
  • System administration
  • System enhancements, Report development

Typically Siebel implementations are mission critical systems and thus are required to be constantly available. Vertex has a Siebel Center of Excellence (CoE) that offer high-quality, 24X7 Siebel support that minimizes application downtime and adherence to mutually agreed upon Service Level Agreement (SLA). Vertex assumes the ongoing support and maintenance of an existing application after an orderly transition period.

5. Testing Services

Enterprise applications like Siebel are typically deployed over multiple releases with each release incrementally adding new functionality to an evolving system. The customization and configuration of a release leverages the effort of the previous
releases to build the eventual system. Testing should also be approached in the same fashion. As the system evolves, testing can become more complex and time consuming. A well thought out testing strategy is essential to meet the time lines and
contain the cost as the system evolves. The Testing Services offered by Vertex enables a customer to plan and execute a testing strategy that mirrors the overall CRM strategy.

Our Testing Services include:

  • Testing architecture and planning
  • Test plan preparation
  • Test execution
  • Test automation
