1 Introduction This document serves as the single source for all information about joining the Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (ecrm) system: the request-to-join form; the subsequent assessments that will be performed; the costs associated with joining; and, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) documenting the responsibilities and requirements of both the application owner/office and the Distance Support program. The appendices contain sample documents and forms, data used for analysis, and other helpful Join Enterprise CRM information. Any changes to this document should be forwarded to the Distance Support CRM Program Manager. Upon completion of transition to the Enterprise CRM, joining members will be bound by the governing Source of Support (SOS) CRM Business Rules". 1.1 Purpose The Enterprise CRM system is the backbone providing for the functioning of the Global Distance Support Community (GDSC). The GDSC is a geographically dispersed but centrally coordinated Tier 1/Tier 2 virtual contact center and a network of experienced Source of Support (SOS) activities. By incorporating today s best practices for call centers and help desks, the GDSC will consist of fewer, more sophisticated SOS contact centers. Each contact center, or alternatively, a number of related but consolidated contact centers, will serve as a GDSC hub, primarily aligned to service one of the current Functional Areas: (1) Information Technology (IT) Networks; (2) Logistics/Supply Chain Management; (3) Technical/Maintenance; (4) Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPT&E); (5) Medical; and (6) Shore Infrastructure. The Enterprise CRM offers a hardware and software infrastructure in which to host the Remedy Action Request System (ARS) applications developed and employed by CRM members to manage Fleet/customer demands for assistance. 1.2 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application is the tool used for: Documenting a customer Support Request and tracking it through to closure Routing the Support Request to the appropriate Source of Support Reporting on the status of a customer Support Request Generating metrics to evaluate both the timeliness in processing, and the effectiveness in successfully resolving Support Requests 1.2.1 The Enterprise CRM System The Enterprise CRM system provides the following: Infrastructure: The CRM provides the following infrastructure: Application Development Environment: The Enterprise CRM maintains a Development environment for building and maintaining Remedy applications. 1
Joining/joined members will have access to this environment, which will be scheduled on an availability basis. Application Test Environment: The CRM maintains a Quality Control test environment identical to the Production environment. Joining members are allowed to use the Quality Control environment for testing of modifications they ve made to their applications. Testing is scheduled on an availability basis. Application Production Environment: The CRM maintains the Production environment. All applications must undergo interoperability analysis and Quality Control testing by CRM staff prior to being hosted in the Production environment. Approvals and Certifications: The approvals and certifications that apply to the CRM will apply to all Remedy applications that are hosted on the CRM. Therefore, hosted applications do not need separate: System Security Authorization Agreement (SSAA) Authority to Operate (ATO) Preferred Product List/System Subsystem Interface List (PPL/SSIL) certification Fleet Forces Command (FFC) Certification FORCEnet Certification Documentation: The CRM maintains operational, configuration management, and user documentation for the three infrastructural environments of the CRM: the Development, Quality Control, and Production environments. The CRM also maintains documentation for the Enterprise software applications housed within the infrastructure. The joining members are responsible for providing all documentation specific to their own software applications. 1.2.2 The GDSC (Technical) The GDSC (Technical) provides the following: A 24/7/365 Support Request response capability A single, virtual point-of-entry for all Support Request routing, processing, accountability, tracking and completion monitoring This document is designed to clearly communicate requirements and responsibilities of all parties before, during, and subsequent to application hosting on the Enterprise CRM System. 2 Join Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (ecrm) The join ecrm process allows programs the ability to make a selection based on their program needs. To provide the process for a program or application to utilize the functions and capabilities available via the Enterprise Customer Relationship Management (ecrm) Shared Data Environment (SDE); users desiring to join ecrm have three options. These options are described in the following table. Figure 1 provides an overview of the process. 2

2.3 Join ecrm Requirements for Option 3 Open the DS webpage at www.distancesupport.navy.mil, the program will be provided with a Join ecrm link. After clicking on the link, select Option 3. See Figure 4 for Option 3 process flow. Selecting Option 3 allows the program to stand down a current CRM application system and request that the ecrm host and support their current Remedy form. After selecting Option 3 the program will be directed to the ecrm form. After the program completes the ecrm form, the ecrm Manager is informed via email and the form is provided as an attachment. After the ecrm Option 3 form is completed, the ecrm Manager is notified via email with both the ecrm and SOS forms as attachments. An Initial Functional Assessment to the support request is completed by the ecrm Manager. If this assessment is satisfactory, the ecrm Manager works with the program on the list of required deliverables. If the assessment is rejected, guidance for re-submission is provided to the program. The program then either decides to resubmit the application or not. If yes, the process is started again, if not, the process is revisited with the customer to determine requirements and solutions. After the ecrm Manager works with the program on the list of required deliverables, the program determines if they want to accept or reject the requirements. If accepted, the ecrm Manager coordinates with the GDSC Manager with the support request. If rejected, guidance for resubmission is provided to the program. The program then either decides to resubmit the application or not. If yes, the process is started again, if not, the process ends. The next step is the Initial Technical Assessment. If the assessment is accepted the request for support is provided to the DS Configuration Control Board (CCB) for approval. If the assessment is rejected, guidance for re-submission is provided to the program. The program then either decides to resubmit the application or not. If yes, the process is started again, if not, the process ends. Upon approval by the DS CCB, the ecrm Manager coordinates with the GDSC Manager to complete a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the program. See Appendix B for MOA template. After the MOA is signed, the Final Technical Assessment is completed. If the test results are accepted, the GDSC (Technical) will start providing support. If rejected, guidance for resubmission is provided to the program. The program then either decides to resubmit the application or not. If yes, the process is started again, if not, the process ends. 5
