Overall Responsibility for Deliverables
The general responsibility for project deliverables will be as follows (specific assignments for each
deliverable follow this slide):
Serrala will be primarily responsible for conceptualizing and delivering the Design deliverables. Centurion will
support the development and documentation of the Design.
Serrala will be primarily responsible for configuration, unit testing, configuration documentation and
configuration knowledge transfer to Centurion. Centurion will support this activity, receive knowledge transfer
and perform configuration in areas where the activity is straight-forward, repetitive, etc.
Serrala will deliver relevant baseline documentation (e.g., BPP’s, BPN’s, test documentation, etc.) for in-scope
functionality where such content is available in the Serrala library. Centurion will be primarily responsible, with
Serrala’s support, for converting this baseline input into fully-developed system documentation, testing
documentation (test strategy, test scenarios, test scripts, test data, etc.) and specialized training materials to the
extent that such adaptation is required to suit Centurion’s needs and meets Centurion’s format/content
requirements.

Project Implementation Approach
Project Preparation
The purpose of project preparation is to perform initial planning and setup activities to support your project. This
includes setting project standards (e.g., issue management, status tracking and reporting, communications,
project monitoring, etc.) and guidelines, as well as developing the project plan.
Resources are aligned and their access to applicable networks and systems is arranged. Travel logistics and
location requirements (on site vs. remote) are clarified.
A project charter is agreed, to ensure and document alignment on project objectives, scope, resourcing, roles,
responsibilities, etc., and formats for key deliverables are determined. Project scope/resourcing/etc. is adjusted if
necessary and the project begins. Preparations for the project kickoff are completed during Project Preparation or
early in Design/Blueprint.
Design/Blueprint
The objective of Design is to formally agree on the detailed solution design, which includes documentation
outlining the required configuration.
Early in Design, the combined team will prepare for and conduct an official kick-off event to introduce the project
team, support resources and stakeholders, to formally kick off the project, and to ensure that expectations are
aligned across the various technical and business stakeholders.
During Design, Serrala will provide leading practice insights based on our implementation experience and lead
the combined team in developing a future state design that meets Centurion’s requirements. To do this, we’ll work
with Centurion and Novigo subject matter experts to understand current state business processes, pain points,
etc. and to design the future state processes.
Design also includes defining strategies for data management, application architecture, testing and training for
the remainder of the project. At the end of Design, the implementation plan will be finalized with all relevant
stakeholders, and when the solution design has been accepted, the combined team will validate timeline and
resource assumptions for the remainder of the project and recommend adjustments if necessary.
Realization
Realization is when the business and process requirements are implemented, configured and tested in the target
environment based on the agreed business blueprint. Throughout Realization, the combined team configures the
appropriate SAP transactions, codes any in-scope developments, and develops the necessary test scenarios and
training materials. In addition to producing deliverables, realization is a critical time for knowledge transfer, with
our experienced resources teaching and coaching your team in the configuration of SAP in a repetitive, non-
threatening environment.
As the project moves into the final weeks of Realization, focus shifts to user training preparation, user testing
preparation and project team testing of the solution. After the testing process has been completed, the cutover
checklist will be developed and executed, and data will be migrated to SAP.
Final Preparation
During Final Preparation, the end users are prepared to test and accept the solution, final preparations are
completed and user testing is performed. The cutover plan is finalized and critical issues are resolved. Typically a
“go/no-go” meeting is conducted to gain approval to begin cutover to productive operations, and when approval
is granted, the team begins cutover.
Project Closure completes the project lifecycle and includes Serrala activities to complete final billing and collect
payment, to resolve any open commercial or accounting details and to re-deploy resources. Most importantly, we
meet with you during project closure to agree on project completion/attainment of objectives, to discuss how the
project team and the project itself delivered against expectations, to discuss future implementations and timing,
and to collect your insights and feedback the process and especially on how we can improve on future
implementations.

Project Organization – Centurion Resources
Employing a “build and transfer” project approach
Serrala will lead Design and Realization activities to the point of successful unit testing with Centurion’s support,
then Centurion will lead preparation and conduct of user testing, cutover and go-live with Serrala’s support.
Centurion will schedule and Serrala will conduct knowledge transfer (KT) sessions focused on the functionality and
configuration of the implemented solution to educate Centurion’s project and support resources.
As part of ongoing KT, Serrala may request Centurion support with certain configuration tasks, particularly in areas
of most critical importance, where repetitive configuration tasks exist or where configuration is straight forward.
With this project approach, we estimate Centurion will require the following participation to ensure project
success:
Executive Sponsors: 4%
Treasury/Trading Lead: 100%
Commodity/Logistics SMEs: 50%
Commodity/Financial SMEs: 25%
Accounting: 20%
SAP Basis, User Admin and Security: 15%
General IT Support: 10%
