1. Business Background

1.1. About IndoAust Jaya


IndoAust Jaya (IAJ) Pty Ltd is an import/export company headquartered in Sydney with
subsidiary offices in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Darwin. IAJ also has offices in Cape Town
(South Africa), Dublin (Ireland), and Wellington (New Zealand).
Family owned and operated, we employ 85 people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We
are originally from Indonesia, having settled in Sydney over 15 years ago. We retain links with
Indonesia through family members who live in Surabaya and run a separate business.

1.2. Vision statement


Our vision is to be the first company that people think of when considering the products and
services offered by our business. We can accomplish this by engaging the best people who bring
professionalism and dedication to every aspect of our operation and who work collaboratively to
achieve the goals of IAJ Pty Ltd.
Staying abreast of and taking advantage of new technology will also play an important role as we
develop growth around the world.

1.3. Mission statement


IndoAust Jaya Pty Ltd is committed to growing a strong and profitable business throughout
Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and Indonesia. We will achieve this through a
planned strategy based on ethical business practice, which will ensure that we meet all the
responsibilities of being a good corporate citizen wherever we do business around the world.
Sustainable growth will be the hallmark of our expansion as we implement our three- year plan
for development through continuous systems improvement and acquisitions.

1.4. Value statement


As we move our business forward, we are committed to:
 working towards and maintaining a zero-harm workplace by implementing WHS procedures
 safeguarding our environment for future generations
 encouraging diversity in our organisation including cultural differences and backgrounds, race,
colour, disability and religion
 showing respect to all those with whom we come into contact

4
 observing and abiding by applicable regional regulations and laws
 dealing ethically, openly and honestly in all business practices.
Above all, we value the views of others and the right of individuals to feel safe and respected in
our community.

1.5. Corporate structure


Our Operations Manager runs the day-to-day operations of IAJ, overseeing three departments
covering paper, cattle, and chemicals. The Logistics team reports directly to the Managing
Director. There is also a Corporate Department in charge of finance, HR and management of the
office. Our Corporate Managers come from a mix of backgrounds, including Australian,
Indonesian, and Chinese, and their management styles tend to be informed by their cultural
backgrounds. At times, there can be friction between them but generally, they get on. There is a
reluctance though to share information, particularly if they feel their positions are under threat.

2. Project Background

2.1. The Problem


IAJ utilises two databases to service its customers and manage its operations. These are Sage 300
and LiveX.
Sage 300 is used for:
 Inventory control
 Order entry and tracking
 Financial management
LiveX is used for:
 Tracing livestock
 Processing livestock export orders
 Managing livestock testing
These systems manage logistics transactions effectively, but they do not provide the required
information and reporting to assist the sales and marketing teams in developing the business.
IAJ has identified a need to develop and implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
system to manage IAJ’s interactions with current and future customers. The CRM will include
technology to organise, automate, and synchronise sales, marketing, customer service, and
technical support.

2.2. Diagnostic Phase

2.2.1. Option 1 – Sage CRM


Sage CRM is an all-in-one solution that lets you do more with your CRM. In addition to contact
and lead management, Sage CRM offers targeted marketing, email marketing, social CRM and
more. It also comes with a built-in customer service portal to deliver excellent customer support.
Sage CRM is specifically designed to help small and medium sized businesses. It is easy to deploy,
install, manage, learn, and maintain.
Sage CRM integrates easily with Sage 300. Sage CRM Professional is available for $55 + GST per
month, plus $13 + GST per month for each additional GB of storage required.

2.2.2. Option 2 – Microsoft Dynamics CRM


Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a CRM that drives sales productivity and marketing effectiveness
through social insights, business intelligence, and campaign management, either in the cloud,
on-premises, or via a hybrid combination.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers mobile CRM apps and platforms to manage customer
relationships on mobile devices, along with tools that integrate data and reporting from social
media directly into the CRM application.

7
Microsoft Dynamics offers a CRM online service providing instant-on, anywhere access,
predictable pay-as-you-go pricing, and a financially backed service level agreement (SLA). Prices
start from $65 per month.

2.2.3. Option 3 – Salesforce CRM


Salesforce.com is the enterprise cloud computing leader. They offer social and mobile cloud
technologies—including sales and CRM applications. This software is typically associated with
larger businesses and enterprises, but also has a small business edition that includes the
product's robust set of CRM tools and resources at an affordable, small-business-friendly price.
Part of Salesforce Small Business Solutions, the platform is very easy to use and includes key
features like lead generation, contact and opportunity management, sales forecasting, workflow
automation, and much more. Professional software price is $65 per month.

2.2.4. Option 4 – Insightly


Insightly is a simple, but feature-rich CRM software that fits the bill for micro-businesses. It has
all the basic capabilities that really small businesses need in CRM software, but is also highly
scalable as your business grows. Additionally, Insightly is one of the most affordable CRM
solutions available; there's a free version to help you get started, and paid plans start at a
fraction of the price of comparable CRM software.

2.3. Decisions
Sage CRM has been chosen due to its compatibility with Sage 300 and comparable costs.

3. Project Objectives

3.1. Objectives
 To build profitable relationships by maximising the effectiveness of customer interactions
 To access vital customer information anytime, anywhere
 To fill the sales pipeline with qualified leads that bring consistent revenue
 To identify new opportunities, analyse performance and business metrics, and diagnose potential
issues
 To tailor the system to match IAJ business processes and user preferences
 To integrate with other business management solutions, desktop applications, and web services
for a complete, holistic view

3.2. Key Success Factors


 Focus on user adoption
 Shared vision for CRM in the business and how it supports the business strategy
 Senior management commitment and investment
 Alignment of solution to data model for reporting and analytics
 Simplification of solution – hiding irrelevant fields and forms at a business or user level
 Excellent training – tailored to specific user roles
 Seeing CRM as a business transformation project rather than simply an IT project
 Identifying opportunities to improve customer experience through business process
improvements
 Planning a second phase within three to nine months of implementation to continuously align the
CRM to business needs and to tweak to ensure user adoption and inclusion of automation or
additional functional areas

9
4. Project Scope

4.1. Inclusions
It is anticipated that the CRM will be used by the sales and marketing teams as well as by
customer service employees.
To ensure that the CRM achieves its full potential, a review of all business processes is required
to identify where and how the CRM will be integrated.
The solution will integrate data from Sage 300 and include a review of data to reduce the
number of duplicate client entries.
The project is to include:
 Software Installation
 Licences
 Training
 Project Management
 Configuration
 Data Migration
 Testing
 User Acceptance Testing
 Go Live Rollout
 Go Live Support
 Ongoing Maintenance

4.2. Exclusions
Any area that is not explicitly listed as “within scope” is out of scope for this engagement. The
areas that are out of scope for this engagement include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Establishment or deployment of core central services that do not currently exist within the
customer environment. Other Service Offerings are available for this purpose, such as email,
networking, and so on.
 Custom development for line of business applications
 Procurement of racking and cabling hardware or servers
 Customised virtual machine images
 Customisation of host deployment
 Sourcing or procurement of hardware

6. Project Governance

6.1. Organisation Structure


An organisation structure will be implemented based on the structure set out in the chart below.
The project will be managed internally by IAJ.

PMO

Project Board

Senior Executives Senior


Users Suppliers

Change
Project Project Authority
Assurance Manager
Project
Project Support
Team

6.1.1. Project Management Office


The PMO will define the tools, methodology, standards and quality by which all projects will be
executed. The PMO will provide common planning and reporting processes and will bring
structure and support to evaluating, justifying, defining, planning, tracking, and executing
projects. The PMO will also help resolve cross-project conflicts caused by limited resources and
other constraints. The PMO will work in close cooperation with the other areas of IAJ that have
major IT initiatives underway.

6.1.2. Project Portfolio Board


IAJ Senior Management Team (SMT) members will form a Project Portfolio Board (PPB). The PPB
has ultimate responsibility for delivering the capability, realising the benefits defined, and

15
ensuring the projects support the SRP. The PPB is accountable to the IAJ Board of Directors. The
PPB will ensure progress of all projects, focusing on the realisation of business benefits,
controlling the work, ensuring the establishment and operation of a controlled environment, and
defining and implementing a quality management strategy to ensure all projects deliver to the
required level of quality. The PPB will deliver the high-level decisions and inputs which will guide
the implementation of the project.
The Project Board will comprise senior officials who are responsible for the project, as delegated
by the PPB. These officials will exhibit the following four characteristics:
 Authority: to make decisions and to provide resources to the project
 Credibility: ability to direct the project
 Ability to delegate: keeping the Project Board activity at the right level and allowing the
Project Manager to manage the project
 Availability: ensuring they are available to make decisions and provide direction.
The Project Board will deliver the decisions and inputs which will guide the implementation of
the project within the mandate set by the PPB. Tomi Widojo, IAJ’s CEO, is the Executive
participating on the PPB.
The Senior User will be Greg Hutchinson, IAJ’s Sales and Marketing Manager. Greg Hutchison
represents the interests of all the Sales and Marketing teams who will be the primary users of
the CRM. Greg Hutchinson will commit user resources to the project, specify user requirements,
monitor project outputs against requirements, and liaise between users and the project team.
The Senior Supplier will be Gary Jazgar, the IT Manager. Gary Jazgar represents the interests of
those providing and implementing the CRM and will work closely with representatives from
Sage. He will provide supplier resources to the project, is accountable for the quality of project
deliverables, and will liaise between the members of the IT department and the project team.
Any member of the PPB has the authority to approve project documents for release.

6.1.3. Project Manager


The Project Manager will be an IAJ project official (appointed for the duration of the project)
who will be delegated responsibility for the day-to-day execution of the project by the Project
Board. The Project Manager will also report to and receive guidance from the PPB.

6.1.4. Change Authority


The Project Board is ultimately responsible for agreeing to all changes raised during the project.
However, depending on the size/complexity of the project, they may decide to delegate approval
of some changes to a change authority who will be allowed to approve changes that meet pre-
defined criteria relating to time, cost, and scope.

6.1.5. Project Assurance


The Project Board is ultimately responsible for project assurance in their respective area of
concern (business, user, and supplier) by monitoring all aspects of the project’s performance and
outputs through the practice of Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V). If a Project

16
Board member has insufficient time to perform this role, they may appoint internal or external
individuals to carry out IV&V for their area of concern. Independent project assurance will
support the Project Manager and Project Team by providing advice and guidance on issues such
as standards and personnel.

6.1.6. Project Teams


Project teams will be created, led by the Project Manager. The teams will consist of a core strong
internal team with cross-functional support. Teams will have a mix of functional/technical skills
and will be able to provide the specialist skills/business knowledge required.
Teams may include (at the Project Manager’s discretion):
 Project steering group
 Project management team
 Project implementation team(s)
 Change management team
Roles within the project teams will include:
 Customer Project Manager
 Business Analyst
 Technical Team Leaders and members
 Communications Manager
 Training Manager and consultants
 User champions
Members of the project teams may be drawn from existing IAJ employees, who can contribute to
the project on a part-time basis while also fulfilling other duties, or may be sourced externally.

6.1.7. Project Support


Project Support is responsible for administering the governance and administrative support
processes and tools used during the project.

6.2. Change Management


The Change Management process establishes an orderly and effective procedure for tracking the
submission, coordination, review, evaluation, categorisation, and approval for release of all
changes to the project’s baselines.

8.1. Key assumptions

8.1.1. Human resource management


The Project Manager will be responsible for determining specific roles within the project
team and allocating relevant resources. The Project Manager will be supported by IAJ’s HR
department in regards to recruitment, employee relations, and general HR management.

8.1.2. Training
Training will be developed and executed by IAJ personnel in conjunction with the IAJ HR
department.

8.1.3. Communication
The Project Manager will liaise with all relevant stakeholders either electronically or in
person. Some travel may be required for meeting purposes. Regular Project Team meetings
will be conducted using IAJ facilities.

23
8.1.4. Project personnel
The Project Manager is responsible for assembling project teams and allocating specific
roles. It is anticipated that the project teams will change at different stages of the project to
reflect the differing skills required at each stage. Where possible, project personnel will be
sourced internally and current IAJ employees will contribute to the project in conjunction
with their existing duties. It is anticipated that there will be a need to source some project
roles, particularly an IT support person solely designated to this project, externally.

24
9. Recommendations
It is recommended that the Project Board:
 Approve this Project Brief
 Approve the associated Project Organisation, and in so doing approve the
involvement of the various defined resources in the project, and commit these
resources to the project
 Authorise Project Initiation (detailed planning of the project)
 Communicate these approvals to the CEO and Senior Management groups.
