EzLifeSciences™ Overview
Leveraging Answerthink’s EzLifeScience AIO Solutions
 We leverage SAP’s Industry All-In-One baseline and
Answerthink’s EzLifeSciences Industry Solution to help
digitally transform your business.
 Together, companies leverage a pre-packaged, ready-
to-use, end-to-end reference solution, tailored for your
industry needs.
 It comprises the state-of-the-art S/4 ERP 1709/1809
solution with proven business best practices and
encapsulates the experience from successful, real-life
digital transformation projects.
 Embedded in an overall transformation road map and
delivered as a service, our approach will enable
companies to reduce cost, decrease risk, and
accelerate adoption during discovery, preparation,
exploration, and realization activities.
 Encompasses a unique set of accelerators including
configuration and how-to guides, test scripts, business
process procedures, and implementation tools.

Approach
Project Guiding Principles
 Our overall approach is built on the following guidelines:
– Repligen will make use of leading Best Practice features. The goal is to control time, scope and cost by avoiding
configuration changes and enhancements.
– The implementation partners will leverage their solutions for maximum benefit.
 Re-engineering will only be considered if Repligen believes there is a compromise of compliance or management control.
– Global Processes will be integrated and standardized across the business

– The design will meet Repligen current requirements while still providing adequate flexibility to rapidly accommodate
future changes to Repligen operational model
– The project will be managed to minimize risk to the business and ongoing operations
– The power is in the team! Answerthink, Arbour Group, and SAP will work closely with all Repligen team members to
ensure all deliverables are of high quality and that this implementation is a success
– Answerthink, Arbour Group, and SAP are committed to sharing its experiences even if that means disagreeing with a
Repligen point of view. This “pushback” is considered “healthy debate” and will be done respectfully and for the
good of the project and Repligen
Keep things simple. Do not over-complicate.
10
Approach
Key’s to Success
 LEARN ABOUT SAP
– Learn the product well, so that you’re knowledgeable and empowered for continuous improvement after go live. This applies to both
Information Technology and Business Users. Avoid the “if we don’t get it in before go live, it will never get done” syndrome. Spend
time with the consultants during the implementation for “knowledge transfer”; plan to take further SAP training post go live.
 MAKE SURE YOU’VE COVERED WHAT YOU NEED.
– Especially in blueprinting, be on the lookout for “missed requirements”. Be aware of the legacy systems being replaced and make sure
there’s an SAP (or other) equivalent replacement. It won’t necessarily be done the same way, but “must have” business requirements
and processes need to be provided for.
 TIME, TIME, TIME.
– There’s no substitute for spending time in SAP doing transactions; it’s the only way to learn the system. It’s the only way to completely
test it so that it works the way you want at Go Live. Consultant testing usually produces “pass”; real user testing is necessary. It will
probably take more time than you expect.
 DATA, DATA, DATA.
– Make sure your master data is ready and formatted for conversion. IT/IS can help, but this is primarily a business responsibility. SAP
is critically dependent on correct, complete and consistent master data. It will probably take more time than you expect.
 ROLES, ROLES, ROLES.
– Focus on Business Roles – who is going to do the transaction? Who represents them on the core team? Who will train them; how
many of them are there? How will they be supported after go live? Is this basically the same thing they do now (but in a different
system) or is it significantly different? If “significantly different” how is this change being managed and communicated? Don’t wait until
the training class to inform people that their jobs are changing significantly.
11
Approach
Global ASAP
 Our approach for Repligen’s implementation is a modified version of the ASAP / Activate
methodology utilized when deploying a single global SAP footprint.
 The key aspects are:

– A global template is built once, upfront, with the involvement of resources / expertise from the various
businesses / geographies to be implemented.
– Heavy involvement from a core team of functional and technical expertise from Repligen is expected as
these individuals will have two important roles
 Ensure that the designed solution covers the requirements, and has the buy in, of all the businesses / geographies
 Learn the solution as these resources will form the backbone of the system expertise to rollout the solution and
become the eventual ‘owners’ of the processes / solution.
– A phased rollout ensures each entity is adequately supported during the implementation and overall risk
is mitigated.
12
Approach
Complexity drivers for multi-site, multi-national SAP implementations
Complexity Drivers
• Global Business Issues

• Global Data Standards
• Global / Standardized Processes
• Global Products
• Geography and Cultural Issues

• Cultural differences between international sites
• Communication challenges and local acceptance (Buy-In)
• International Team Structure & Project Organization

• Internationally Balanced Teams
• Distributed Support over Regions
• Coordination of rollouts across multiple countries
• Diversity within Regional IT Systems in Use

• More complex configuration management
• Variations in Regional IT Infrastructures
• Definition of process for standards through multiple viewpoints
13
Approach
Defining a Global Solution and what does it mean?
 Defining what is “Global” for Repligen
– A process is global when it is integrated throughout the enterprise
 Organization Hierarchy
 Master Data Standards (Customer, Vendor, Materials)
 Core Business Cycles (e.g. Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Plan to Manufacture, Financials)
 Interfaces
 ‘Core’ Output Documents
 ‘Core’ Reports
 ‘Core’ Conversion Routines
 Defining what will be “Standard / Global” for Repligen

– A process is standardized if it must be executed in the same
way in the enterprise
 Defining what will be “Local” for Repligen

– A process is local if it is not possible or it makes no sense to define as global or standardized
 Local & Statutory Reporting, Local Processes, Localized Output Documents
 Tailored Data Conversion Routines

Realize Phase
Approach / Schedule of Work
 A ‘SPRINT’ is a demonstration of the SAP functionality and personalizations proposed for a given cycle.
 The Repligen SAP solution will follow best practices and will be configured based on the defined blueprint requirements.
Once configured, the solution is demonstrated in a conference room setting. Following pre-defined test scripts, different
roles in the process are executed by the appropriate Repligen team members.
 Upon completion, gaps / issues are identified / addressed and Repligen team lead(s) sign-off.
