What is “Top Tier” ERP? Top Tier Solutions Offer: • Functionality across all major industries & business processes • Multi-location, multi-currency capabilities • Undisputed long term product viability • Global operations & support Tier 2 Solutions Offer: • Niche industry functionality with multi-location, multi-currency requirements • Or—broad industry & process fit for single location & currency operations • Less assurance of long term product viability • Opportunistic global operations & support • Sage • Infor • Microsoft • Lawson • Epicor • Pronto • UNIT4 • QAD • IFS

Don’t Overlook the Long Term Benefits In addition to the immediate impact, midsize companies benefit from the flexibility, scalability, and functional richness of Top Tier ERP • Lower opportunity costs • IT infrastructure is in place for future innovation initiatives. • Earlier process automation • leveraging the broad product footprint of core ERP. • Avoidance of a “Rip and Replace” scenario • the disruption of replacing legacy systems. • Phased rollout • deployed in smaller, easier projects. • Complementary portfolio • pick and choose from an extended portfolio of “best of breed”
Resource Requirements and Allocation For midsize companies, selection of an implementation partner is equally important to selection of a software applications provider • Mentoring • Partner resources transfer knowledge to internal resources • Resource augmentation • Partners provide incremental bandwidth • Talent pool • Top Tier ERP skill sets are readily available
Product and project scope Emerging Companies must keep focused on the project plan and avoid being distracted by add-on projects. • Strict scope control • Avoidance broadening of application footprint or functional plan. • Timing • Implement rapidly during slowest season. • Phased implementations • Deploy applications are deployed in shorter projects • Prioritization by value • Focus initial phase on high value areas that fund subsequent phases. • Fixed price contracts • Can be desirable to establish a total cost that cannot vary.
Tools and Methodologies Companies with small IT staffs—focused on maintaining legacy systems—rely heavily on partner and software tools and methodologies. • Focus on the “To be” • Spend more time on understanding post go-live business processes • Adoption of best practices • Adopt most embedded industry leading practices and configure unique needs • Rapid go-live on conference room pilot (CRP) • Get up and running immediately so that internal resources learn by doing • Use of Rapid Implementation tools • Aid in the rapid configuration of both embedded industry leading practices and specialized needs
The Oracle Accelerate Difference • Enterprise Class Software • Unparalleled Implementation Simplicity • Expert Delivery Ecosystem • Reduce Risk • Lower Costs • Drive Improvement • Speed Time to Value
Unlimited Possibilities for Limited Budgets Enterprise Class Applications • No Scaled-down or “Light” Applications. • Multiple, mature product suites • Deep capabilities and the broad footprint • Unparalleled Implementation Simplicity • Embedded industry leading practices • Need-based, modular deployment • Achieve Conference Room Pilot in days Expert Delivery Ecosystem • Tools, methodologies, training techniques accelerate end user adoption. • Partners with documented success in building optimal project plan

TCO To Conclude 28
What about TCO? • Total Cost of Ownership looks at costs and ignores benefits. • GREAT for comparing two similar applications • Good for budgeting • Bad for choosing applications • Bad for prioritizing projects 29
<Insert Picture Here> Rebecca WettemannVice President, ResearchNucleus Research, Inc. “It is extremely rare to be able to compare total cost of ownership (TCO) of two competing applications within the same company. Nucleus found that, in the case of this publicly traded biotechnology firm, both Oracle JD Edwards and SAP were chosen and championed – and a merger brought them together. In this dual ERP environment, SAP is more than four times more costly than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.” Source: TCO CASE STUDY: SAP VERSUS ORACLE JD EDWARDS BIOTECHNOLOGY FIRM (07/2010)
