Johnson & Johnson: Implementing Next Generation Change Control
by Extending EMC Documentum

Agenda
• Project Background• OneSource 2.0
– Features– Why WebTop 5.3– OneSource Demonstration– Why a Portal– Portal Demonstration
Johnson and Johnson Background
• Johnson & Johnson, through its operating companies, is the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of health care products, as well as a provider of related services, for the consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical devices and diagnostics markets.
• The more than 200 Johnson & Johnson operating companies employ approximately 113,800 men and women in 57 countries and sell products throughout the world.
Scott Jaworski Background
• Johnson & Johnson Operating Companies– Janssen
• Project Lead for the MARKUS application– J&J Gateway
• Project Lead for customized web content authoring application– GPSG
• IM Manager/Project Manager for OneSource document management application
• Been involved with Documentum for over 7 years
OneSource Application
• Manage Controlled Documentation– Change Request and Documents (SOPs, BOM, Specs, tech docs)– Document Lifecycle– Workflow
• Route for review• Route for approval
– eSigs– Delegation & Inbox Reassign
• Approximately 1,500 users across 6 sites (3 in NJ, 3 in PR)• Plans to significantly increase user base
– GPSG West Project in 2007– Beyond Puerto Rico and US
OneSource Background
• OneSource 1.0 Originally Released in 2003– Based on DCM – Extensive Customizations to DCM Components
• Every piece of code was customized, over 70% of the application
• OneSource 1.1 Released in January 2005– Added InfoPath to support Creation of Change Requests
(XML editor vs. Word Template)
Issues with OneSource 1.1
• OneSource difficult to support– Unsupported version of DCM 4.2.8– RightSite/Significant Performance Problems– Difficult to Support Technical Implementation
• Database Calls• Custom code• RightSite• Loss of Resources
• Users asking for additional functionality– Packet Routing (Multi-Documents – Routing a CR and Documents together)– Wanted a more “configurable” approach– Other additions based on new platform– Performance, Performance, Performance
OneSource Upgrade Philosophy
• All existing functionality should be in new release– We don’t get to start out clean
• Project Philosophy– While we are still customizing…
– Customize in order to make configurable!
• So we don’t have to start planning 2.1
Why WebTop 5.3?
• Increased productivity of End Users – Increased performance (searching)– Better web navigation with 5.3 WebTop– More configurable interface (ex: User Selectable Columns)
• Business agility– Reduced system complexity– Reduced skill set requirement for support– Easier to enhance
• Upgradeable– Simpler upgrade path, no need to consider DCM releases– Historically, new releases of WebTop available at same
time as the core product.
Main System Components
• Webtop 5.3 SP1– Wanted to be on the latest version– Wanted to be able to maintain customizations
• TSG Active Wizard – Form, Routing and Workflow Approval Components– Launched from Webtop – Version Neutral (Supports 5.1, 5.2.5, 5.3,
6.x?)– Dynamic Form – old version was static pages – difficult to change
and maintain– Dynamic Workflow – old version was template rather than user
driven– Approval Interface – form approval interface
Why TSG and Active Wizard?
• Existing Relationship with TSG– Worked together at multiple Johnson and Johnson initiatives
• Webtop 5.3 Experience• Validated Application from Abbott
– Active Wizard part of Abbott’s eSubmission Extranet Solution– TSG deep experience with compliance from Abbott
• Designed for EMC– Certified as an Application, highest level of certification within the program
• Priced Right– Active Wizard is available as Open Source
OneSource Solution Pieces
• Documentum Webtop 5.3– Main Application interface
• Check-in/checkout, attributes, search and retrieval• TSG Active Wizard
– Form and Workflow Interfaces• Replaces Infopath form and Documentum Workflow interfaces
– Approval Interface• Annodocs
– Annotations• PDF Aqua
– Controlled Printing and Overlays• CYA/Solutions Quest
– Migration activities
Demo OneSource
Evolution of the Active Form: Active Document Approach
• Logic for questions contained within the document– Help user navigate through the form– Only ask relevant questions based on answers to previous questions– Questions are configurable – do not require programming (separate
from Documentum Administrator)
Active Form
• A “Wizard” approach for Electronic Forms
– Question Sets define the interaction with the user
– Question Sets lead to additional question sets based on answers
• Data for questions, answers and administration managed within Documentum
OneSource Lessons Learned
• Volume Testing – don’t forget it!!! – Due to tight timeframes – we did not conduct a substantial performance test –
once in production– 100% network utilization in some areas has caused issues with application– Load Balancing and other infrastructure items were not volume tested – Configuration (controlled printing) of multiple items for multiple areas
• 90% of users just need Consumer Access – Big Win with Simple App!!– A “portal” consumer-only solution was implemented during downtime between
data migration and production rollout– Data was static while production environment and data was upgraded
The First OneSource 2.0 Lesson Learned
• Build a robust interface for the authors and approvers…
• …but often the interface too much for people just looking to view and print.
OneSource Portal Challenge
• The majority of the time, users only need to search, view or print documents but….– …the Webtop (5.1, 5.2.5, 5.3) interface is too much
• Too much functionality• Too much training• Too slow
– …access to controlled documents is time consuming– …Documentum licensing can be restrictive for the
consumers that might just access documents once a month.
OneSource Portal Solution
• Client developed an application that quickly and easily delivers controlled documents to consumers for…– Searching– Viewing– Printing
• …with configurable user access in a compliant environment.

OneSource Portal - Implementation Time Line
12/5/2005 2/13/2006
1/1/2006 2/1/2006
- Begin Phase 1Development
- End Development
- Phase 1 Go-Live- Main System Shutdown
2/13/2006 4/21/2006
3/1/2006 4/1/2006
- Begin Phase 2Development
- End Development
- Phase 2 Go-Live
Phase 1
Phase 2
Why the two releases?
• Phase 1 release provided business continuity while the main system was brought down to migrate the content to the new release.– Users fell in love with the simplified system.
• Phase 2 release provided dynamic updates and was available after completion of main system upgrade.
• Lesson Learned – would have built and released the consumer interface first– Reduced Network Load– Higher User Acceptance
• Easier to accept a brand new system, than major changes to an existing one.
OneSource Portal Features
• Secure access• Configurable searching• Audit trail of document views and prints• Document overlays and watermarking• Real time access to Approved and Effective
documents
OneSource Portal Benefits
• Significantly reduce time spent retrieving documents
• Reduce training• Reduce load, both processing and licensing, on
main document management system• Independent of Documentum releases• Provide business continuity
