Program Description
Erico Cardelli, partner and chief technology officer at Active Technologies Inc., describes the benefits and
impact of upgrading to Siebel Systems' eBusiness Applications Suite, known as Siebel 7. In an interview,
Gary Wachowicz, senior practice manager at Siebel Systems, adds his insights and expert opinions on the
upgrading process. Cardelli begins the program by looking at some of the various strategic, business
process and technical challenges that are part of the process of upgrading from a Windows-based
application to this Web-based client. He then explains some of the new features you'll find in Siebel 7.
Central to this presentation is a step-by-step game plan that explains how to analyze the upgrade effort,
define ROI measurements, and plot your organization's upgrade path. In addition, Cardelli discusses why
it's important to gain executive sponsorship during the upgrade period and beyond. The program also
details how the upgrade process is likely to impact the IT department, with a focus on staffing and skills.
After watching this program, you'll understand the new features of Siebel 7.0 & 7.5, the benefits they
offer to the organization, and the challenges involved in their deployment. You'll also be equipped to
develop a successful upgrade path from previous versions of Siebel software to enhance your CRM
initiatives.
