Efficient migration from 3E Optimize to 3E ERC+ with SI PRO
The Challenge: Transition from 3E Optimize to 3E ERC+ Content
For years, many companies in regulated industries have relied on SAP EHS content "Optimize" (Previously also known as "Ariel") provided by 3E to meet legal requirements in the area of product compliance. With the development of the ERC+ content from 3E, customers now face the challenge of transitioning from 3E Optimize to 3E ERC+.
Changes during the transition from 3E Optimize to ERC+ content:
- Different data models between 3E Optimize and ERC+
- New regulatory content and data sources (e.g., phrases, phys. chem. tox. data – PCTEC 2.0)
- Risks during migration of existing content and processes
- Optionally combined transition to SAP S/4HANA
The Solution: SI PRO – Your Partner for a Smooth Transformation
SI PRO has in-depth knowledge of 3E Optimize content and extensive experience in migrating to 3E ERC+ content from various content providers (including Sphera, the WERCS, ChemGes, etc.). Furthermore, SI PRO operates SAP development and demo systems using both 3E Optimize and 3E ERC+ content.
Our Service Offering:
- Analysis of existing Optimize-based SAP EHS systems
- Strategic migration planning to 3E ERC+
- Technical integration (e.g., 3E Cloud Content Loader – CCL) and mapping of the new content
- Training your departments in working with ERC+
SI PRO´s Approach for ERC Implementation
Step 1 – Fit to standard: Generate “standard” ERC-generated SDSs and analyze the gaps to customer requirements
Workshop preparation and knowledge transfer
Workshops to analyze the current 3E Optimize implementation
- Comparison of SDS output (ERC standard vs. costumer safety sheet)
- Analysis of specific requirements for PS and DG
- Analysis of rules
- Which rules are currently customized rules or fully custom-tailored?
- Are the requirements meanwhile covered by standard rules or has the regulatory requirement changed? - Analysis of phrases and SDS report templates
- What additional phrases and changes to the standard report templates are required? - Analysis of other customer requirements
- What other customer requirements are currently implemented?
- Are there any new requirements not yet implemented? Summary of the results of these workshops in a high-level document
Step 2 – Detailed analysis of the identified gaps and creation of a functional and technical concept
Design detailed solution concepts for the identified requirements
- Create process diagrams
- Create concepts for additional expert rule sets and CoSSta rules
- Create other solution proposals where required
- Align solution proposals with subject matter experts
Create functional and technical concept document and give a presentation to relevant stake holders
- Create functional and technical concept document
- Project implementation estimates
- Create Power-Point presentation and present to relevant stake holders
Customer to take decision about moving to ERC standard and associated value vs. costs.
Step 3 – Move to standard: Implement 3E ERC based on the previous analysis
- Implement the standard package of ERC with all components
- Customize and individualize standard expert rule sets, safety data sheets and document for future content updates
Develop custom-tailored expert rule sets or custom CoSSta rule for additional requirements and their implementation
Step 4 - Integration Testing / UAT
- Support in the creation of test cases
- Optional: Preparation of training materials and execution of key user training
Support test execution
Step 5 - Go-Live
- Creation of cut-over plans
- Go-live support
- Hypercare
