Payments Strategy Transformation of Transaction Origination On-ramp to Payments Mobile 5 Billion concentrated units: Each on a potential POS device. Computers 3 Billion. Digital Merchants & Digital Wallets (Amazon, Google, PayPal, Apple). (a.) Traditional ATM’s / POS 5 Million.(b.) Mobile Outlets 5 Million. Bank Branches / Tellers 2 Million Western Union / MoneyGram, etc. 1 Million Strategic Implications: Combine Card / Mobile / DDA into Customer component so payment engine can still Route / Switch / Authorize based on new variables. Where we cannot control transaction origination point, move back one step in supply chain to run merchant processor systems (Chase Paymentech, FDC, Global Pay, Lynx, Nova, Vital, etc.). There being the new on-ramps to payment engines. 4

Innovation Management : Strategic Objectives • MISSION STATEMENT • Be the leading provider of a unified payment solution A x B x C = D
Innovation Management : Mission OLD Establish a pervasive culture of Innovation at ACI such that our customers and the market associate innovation with the ACI brand. Strengthen ACI’s long term leadership in Payments through the systematic conversion of innovative product ideas into market leading solutions, services and business models. NEW
Innovation Management : Guiding Principles • Shift the focus of innovation management from one that was geared towards cultivating a culture of innovation and idea generation to one that has total focus on product innovation. • At the highest level demarcate all ideas that come into the Innovation Portal into 2 broad categories: Product and Non-Product • Non-Product Approach • Shift the responsibility of managing Non-Product ideas to the line managers. This will include idea evaluation, idea implementation and a reward mechanism for ideas that have been taken forward. • Create a management culture that finds capacity for management of non-product ideas within the bounds of their respective budgets. • Product Approach • Establish a system that will handle the vetting and investment needs for product innovation to operate at scale from incremental to game-changing ideas.
Innovation Management : Operating Framework (Non-Product) • All ideas (product and non-product) will be entered and tracked on the new Innovation Portal that is based on Saleforce.com • As soon as a non-product idea is posted, the line manager of the idea originator will be assigned as the owner of that idea • Idea owners have the responsibility to evaluate the idea based on an evaluation rubric to determine its intrinsic value and this serves as the filter to accept/reject ideas that come in. • The idea owner then has the responsibility of determining if the idea can be executed within his domain/business unit and if it cannot it is moved to a business unit where it can be executed and a new owner assigned • The owner is responsible for creating capacity to execute the idea, update the progress on the Innovation Portal and finally reward the idea originator through the Globoforce system. • Salesforce is used to generate monthly metrics by business unit and this data becomes part of the monthly ops review (ideas that month, ytd ideas, number accepted/rejected, number implemented) • Overall governance of this program resides with the operations council
Innovation Management : Operating Framework (Product) • All ideas (product and non-product) will be entered and tracked on the new Innovation Portal that is based on Saleforce.com • As soon as a product idea is posted it is classified into one of the following categories and assigned an owner who is expected to lead the vetting of the idea, its investment needs and eventual execution: • Game-Changing (owner: Ajit) • Product Incremental (owner: PLM) • Cross-Product Technology (owner: WA/Chief Architects) • M&A (owner: Maki) • The vetting and investment process is governed by the refined AIR/TRB charter • Game-Changing ideas will follow a path that will build-out the idea through creation of a payments point-of-view, investment logic and a demonstrable proof point. • Cross-Product Technology ideas will follow a path of a potential POC followed by a plan to include into one or more product roadmaps • Product Incremental ideas will follow a path of eventual inclusion in the current or a future period product roadmap • M&A ideas will be driven by the current M&A processes
Unleash Engineers … … and business will follow Complete freedom to the engineer • Communicate a clear mission for the organization • Focus on serving user needs Engineer rules • Bottoms-up organization • Process, Competitive Differentiation, Revenues, etc. will follow These are practices at Google • Not necessarily unique to Google – but, proven as it works so well for us • Many companies use comparable approaches to development
Necessary conditions to make an Engineer Tick Infrastructure Scaleable Infrastructure Scaleable Serving Capacity Singular Focus on the User Obsess About User Delight Practices Rethink development practices Engineers do it all Everything in the cloud
Scaleable Engineering Infrastructure Goal: Create very large scale, high performance computing infrastructure • Hardware + software systems to make it easy to build products • Focus on price/performance, and ease of use Enables better products • Allows rapid experimentation with large data sets with very simple programs allows algorithms to be innovated and evolved with real world data Scalable Serving capacity • Design to run on lots of cheap failure prone hardware • If a service gets a lot of traffic, you simply add servers and bandwidth. • Every engineer creates software that scales, monitors itself and recovers from ground up • The net result is that every service and every reusable component embodies these properties and when something succeeds, it has room to fly. Google • GFS, MapReduce and Bigtable are the fundamental building blocks • indices containing more documents • updated more often • faster queries • faster product development cycles • …
Engineers focus on Users … Blue ocean approach driven mostly by what users need • Continuous search for solutions to those needs that are poorly served or unserved. • Avoid solving problems that have been solved • Suppresses mediocrity, creating the space for creativity and innovation to naturally flourish. User experience focus • Focus on user experience – be obsessive • Make the product useful to everyone, not just the 'important' users / markets. • Revenue, brand and the usual sales concerns take a back seat to this focus • The result of this focus is a freeing up of the engineer to innovate • … 'lets beat competition', 'show me the money' are no longer constraining innovation
Rethink Development Practices Build on your own API • Develop the APIs first • Build your own application using the APIs – you know it works! • Take a call on which of these you would expose for external developers Sampling and Testing • Release early and iterate • Continuous User Feedback Public Beta • Open to all – not to a limited set of users • Potentially years of beta – not a fixed timeline
Engineers Do it All Complete Lifecycle Immersion • Engineers should innovate, prototype, build, deploy and support products and services entirely by themselves in small teams. • Deep visibility and understanding into all aspects of the product cycle results from this - imparting the ability to respond quickly to new needs and ideas. • InterGrouplets: Documentation, Fixit, Readability, Testing, etc. Fail Alright and Fail yesterday: • New products and ideas are staffed with the idea of failing fast - i.e. try out the core of the idea as fast as you can and try many of them • Failure has no stigma, but dragging on forever does
Everything in the Cloud Online Everything – even offline products cloud for permanent storage and where version updates can be delivered as needed without user interference • This removes the most significant barrier to innovation - fear - of mistakes. Engineers test their products, launch them quickly to early adopters who do more testing - more importantly give valuable feedback -> and the next iteration of this product then addresses this feedback. • Making products Online also eliminates the need for backward compatibility with platforms -> only a small set of browsers that users currently use, which frees up engineering from a) looking back all the time, b) worrying about 'what happens if' Shadow Applications • The final and most significant aspect of going online is having shadow products that • i) learn from user interaction, • ii) monitor and collect statistics about product effectiveness, • iii) Allow continuous, silent experimentation with the users where a small fraction of a percentage of the users may be at anytime using a new version of the product that is testing one or more specific hypothesis; hypothesis which verified will cause every user to get this new product within days if not hours
Global Development for Global Products Peer-2-Peer Dist. Development: No engineer is productive when he is not permitted to be innovative • Small teams: Solve problems for a global audience (many countries, languages and millions of users) • Forces out expensive shortcuts: add an engineer per country + language, add a manual labor force to weed out bad posts • Encourages innovation to solve the really hard problems via machine learning, statistical analysis, etc. • Engineers in each distributed centre develop their own competency Hire for fundamentals – not skills • Eng teams high on neurons + know how to implement their innovations • Product Managers should also be computer science educated • Process rigor to maintaining quality bar
More Necessary Conditions … Empowered with clear guidelines No bureaucracy Peer-2-Peer Model Environment for Innovation
