eBusiness creates competitive advantage through delivering a complete
Supplier and Buyer Portal that provides:
• Reduced Supplier costs that make Rolls-Royce their ‘Customer of
Choice’

and the wider Rolls-Royce community who need to buy
• Intuitive eTools using sound data
• A world class purchasing experience

• A common approach for direct and indirect
5. Data Integrity
‘Ensure purchasing data is consistent, accurate and accessible’
eTools
‘Develop eTools to enhance our process and provide excellent
support to all users’
Sourcing Process
‘Ensure our process is effective, efficient and agile’
eBusiness is dependent on 3 foundations

achieve our objectives by
enhancing existing
activity to achieve the
quickest and most

Delivery is complex and our approach is to work collaboratively to enhance
‘business as usual’ activity

16. Applications
User homepage
Exostar secure log in
Open access content
Supplier Portal homepage
16
eTools start with a Portal that provides both a ‘front desk’ and a gateway to
secure transactions for all users
17. We used the Innovation Portal to ask the people (including customers and suppliers) to draw
what their perfect Portal homepage might look like……
It would be great
to LOGIN once to
all applications
I need access to
Outlook email and
calendar
I want live task
updates from
all my tools
I would like
Quick links to
frequently
used
tools/sites
I want access to my
inboxes and workqueue
I want to be able to
search for parts as
easily as Amazon
I want to create
Widgets to allow me
to switch between
tools, dashboards and
web pages
We are designing our eBusiness Portal by listening to all users…..
18. We harness these ideas to design a new Portal
that becomes an intuitive focal point for all supply
chain activities and users
CUSTOMERS:
Customers can execute
purchases
SUPPLIERS:
LOGIN as ‘License to Supply’
allowing upload of product
information
PURCHASING:
‘Back office’ tools to manage
strategy, approve items and
execute purchases
OTHER FUNCTIONS:
Back office tools to manage
supply chain enablers, e.g.
ePO, eDrawings, ERS
MANAGERS:
View up to date reports,
dashboard and KPIs
EXTERNAL AUDIT:
Access all activity and
view/edit audit reports
COMPLIANCE:
Access all activity and
upload/manage audit
reports
New Portal
….because a perfect Portal works for everyone in the supply chain

20. Implementation plan and deliverables
▪ The customer is anyone who uses a purchasing
application or processes
▪ The model will provide both reactive
support/advice and proactive continuous
improvement for tools and processes
▪ There will be a single point of contact “triage”
▪ The model will include some form of business
representation
▪ A tool will be used to log all calls
▪ There will be clear pathways for issue
resolution
▪ There will be clear roles and responsibilities for
and between; the business, the function and IT

26. • Enabling eBusiness requires global transformation of data, eTools and
process
• Starting from a clean sheet is unlikely: existing activity, resources and
people need to be marshalled
• Collaboration leads to the quickest and most effective solution that is
fully bought into across the business
• One size does not fit all; solutions must allow for the „flavours‟ of the
business
