Who We Are The E&U SIG is an affiliated group of nearly 300 professionals within the global Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG). We are a self-governing, worldwide community of Oracle users and consultants who volunteer our time, energy and knowledge to achieve common goals and objectives connected with our industry and key product lines, including Oracle’s suite of applications for Utilities (CC&B, MDM, SGG, WAM, MWM, NMS, EDM and SOM), as well as e-Business, J.D. Edwards, Fusion, Hyperion, OBIEE and PeopleSoft. The E&U SIG is operated by a Steering Committee with an appointed Board of Directors. The Steering Committee’s purpose is to promote membership involvement, education and influence. E&U SIG members meet twice annually at the OAUG COLLABORATE and Oracle OpenWorld conferences, and through collective efforts serve to encourage product enhancements through the OAUG and the Oracle Corporation. Steering Committee Directors serve two year to further the shared goals, needs and interests of the E&U community. Participation in the Energy and Utility Special Interest Group (EUSIG) is open to employees of all companies that are members of the OAUG, however E&U SIG meetings are reserved for E&U SIG members only. Consultants working on Oracle Applications implementations at utilities are welcome, and they are eligible to chair selected committees, however they cannot vote on E&U SIG items at EUSIG meetings. Steering Committee elections are held every two years. For more information or to join the OAUG E&U SIG, please visit http://eusig.oaug.org/.

Today’s Speakers Greg Jones, PhD. Black & Veatch Corporation: Industry Director, Utilities North America Rajpal Gohar WIPRO: ENU Competency Center Head
Platform As a Service (PAAS) Overview – The CC&B Service Bureau Innovation • A paradigm shift: “Cost Center” to “Revenue Center” for host utilities; “pay by the drink” shift for subscriber utilities • Features single process and single data model architecture in a fully integrated, end-to-end solution • One application program with all CIS modules provided in a utility model (PaaS); subscribers only pay for the modules and transaction volume they need, i.e., “pay by the drink” • Includes a best practices process framework that enables localization while enforcing standardization • Common business objectives are exposed across participants for reuse / expansion • Includes fully operational configuration • Multi-language capable • Out of the Box & operational in days • http://eusig.oaug.org/ 9
The Market Need Costly: Approximately $50/customer (external spend) Risky: 30% are abandoned or do not provide expected results Long way back to recovery: 18 - 24 months to get better Characteristics of a typical CIS Implementation Mass Requirements gathering Long development phase Testing Conversion Deployment Very limited view of impact of changes to processes and new processes Changing requirements; business users are unaware of “what’s in store” Testing is compromised due to over-runs; manual workarounds to defects Conflicts between IT and Business interests System does not support customer specific needs; business users skeptical project is considered a failure http://eusig.oaug.org/ 10 10
100% Current Cost Structure Typical Value Proposition Objective: Provide innovative, sustainable cost savings plus improved business performance The Value Equation—Cost Structure Illustration The “Pillars” of Full Value Outsourcing Focus on cost savings • SLAs: Accuracy & TAT • Best Shore Delivery • Operating metrics, SLAs and governance • Offer savings of more than 35%-50% of sub-process costs 50%-70% Incremental Process Improvement • Use of enhanced quality tools • Productivity gains • Improve TAT and accuracy • Additional 5-10% cost savings Optional Business Performance Arbitrage • Automation to drive productivity & quality • Centers of excellence • Additional 15-20% cost savings Future Cost Structure Phase I Today Phase II 3-12 Months Phase III 2-3 Years 11 11
New Value Proposition • Faster and higher ROI with reduced TCO • Market aligned processes • Easy Change management • Operational Stability (Both front office and back office) • Proven model for better Customer Experience & CSAT • Best Practice Business process maps to accelerate Blueprint & Configuration • Pre-configured & ready to deploy set of functionalities in Oracle CC&B • Effective migration of customer & technical data aligned with regulatory requirements • Training Manuals ,Testing Framework & Pre-configured test scripts • Early Look & Feel of the solution to boost end users confidence, Business Benefits Realization - Quicker “go - live” and higher ROI • Reduce cost & timeline by 30% • Pre configured template based Accelerated deployment • Risk Minimization - Proven processes configured on Oracle CC&B http://eusig.oaug.org/ 12
Benefits BENEFITS Prep Business Blueprint Realization Testing Go Live Traditional project 5 Overall time for the project will be reduced by 30% 1 Template Benefits 5 3 4 2 Start Deploy Run 1 2 3 4 A starting point for Business Blueprint and reduces time by 50% as core configurations are already in place In-build components, test scripts and migration paths reduce time of implementation by 30% Gives Business Users a Day-1 reckoner and reduces Change Management complexity For customer already in CC&B, it provides bolt-on components through which transformation of current landscape is less complex http://eusig.oaug.org/ 13
BPO Transformation Roadmap Knowledge Management Framework and Route Map Knowledge objects from the BPO Transformation Roadmap and Transition Planning engagement are organized according to this framework, which provides the route map for deal activity

However, they are costly (multi million/ multi year), disruptive and complex to modify and/or upgrade • With the new business and environmental challenges , CIS’s have to adapt to a whole raft of new capabilities • As AMI and home automation come on line, the CIS will have to be flexible enough to incorporate information derived from massive new data flows. • New regulations and requests for data by regulatory authorities will require more flexible/agile information systems 18
