Oracle ImplementationROI Case Study September 10, 2003
Agenda Base Case – Legacy System Next Generation – I-POWER Infrastructure Collaboration Future
Michael Stoeckert, CIO/CTO • Prior to EPL Inc. • Macromedia: Java and Internet experience • Ernst & Young, Cognos: eCommerce and Datawarehousing experience • EDS: Business Reengineering initiatives • Price Waterhouse Coopers Study of EPL • Recommendations for infrastructure & products • Re-architect Website and Products • Increase staff
EPL Background • EPL Inc is a technology company that provides software solutions for the credit union industry. • ASP solution for over one hundred Credit unions, 600,000 members • In-house solution for more than 600,000 members • Beginning in 1977, EPL has a reputation for superior service and client satisfaction. • Long-standing relationships with our clients.
EPL Situation – 2001 In the competitive marketplace to provide information technology products and services to credit unions, EPL was experiencing: • Declining revenue growth • After a profitable history, two consecutive years of losses
EPL Product Offering – 2001 • Core Product Offering (VISION) • Implemented on a Unisys mainframe platform, accessible to user via a “green screen” text based interface • Client Server (PLUS) • Implemented a Windows based front-end to Vision • Challenges • Deficiencies were Major Cause of Business Decline • Feature Additions & Fixes Extremely Difficult • MF/Distributed Environment • Closed System with Arcane Languages • System Modules Not Integrated • No Relational Database • Installation Issues -- touch every desktop to install
% Year to Year Revenue Growth % 15.2% 9.2% 5.0% 2.6% -.2% 1998 1999 2001 2002 2000 Growth • Continuing with current technology platform, based on demonstrated performance and trends: • Flat to negative revenue trend • Modest positive earnings possible only with extreme cost control
Earnings and Economic Profit Pre Tax Earnings $0 % of Revenue Change -1.7% -2.2% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2.5% 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Different Signals!! Economic Profit without i-POWER $0 Negative 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Unsustainable Business Model • Prime example of why Growth is NOT Always Good • The EPL Enterprise Value before i-POWER to all Investors was negative • With this Business Model, Growth did not increase Economic Value. • Low Earnings Rate was Offset byAsset Increases Necessary to Support the Growth.

Unisys Solution • Provide Failover at a high incremental cost • No load balancing, capital is not used unless a crisis occurs • Customers still affected as failing over to redundant box is not instantaneous • Only utilize 50% of total capacity.
Oracle9i RAC Solution • Provide cost effective Failover • Load balancing, capital is used all the time • Customers not affected as failover is instantaneous • Available with any application using the oracle 9iDB • Small incremental cost • Utilize 95% of total capacity due to low overhead of load balancing
84% reduction! M$ Oracle9i RAC Customer Reliability Investment Cost to Maintain Very High Customer Reliability Unisys 9i RAC In the financial services industry, reliability is a key differentiator among institutions. Any break in service will have long term negative impact on the credibility of EPL AND EPL’s Client, the financial institution itself, in terms of lost customers, revenues, earnings
Increased Performance • Oracle9i RAC provides EPL with increased performance and failover at high transaction volumes • Fraction of the cost when compared to our legacy system. • Oracle9i RAC empowers EPL to take advantage of the technological advancements in server hardware taking place every 6 months. • We feel that it is not cost effective to buy systems to last 3 -5 years anymore because of the price performance advantage to systems that allow horizontal scalability, which RAC provides.

Pre-Oracle Collaboration Suite ** Required by EPL to Provide Leading Edge Service to Customers
Total Cost Of Ownership! • TCO is the only way to look at the economics for business communications. • Hardware, Software and maintenance are only a fraction of the total costs • Upgrades, Migration and Integration with 3rd parties is expensive • Looking at TCO, Oracle Collaboration Suite results in tremendous cost savings. • Oracle Collaboration Suite meets all of our communications needs in one application. • This one stop shopping enables tremendous internal efficiencies.
TCO: $ per Employee per Year $745 Microsoft Exchange Platform $187 Oracle Collaboration Suite -75%! Administration Labor $ 571 Administration & Labor $142 License/ Maintenance $160 License/ Maintenance $34 $10 $14 Hardware Hardware
TCO=Reducing Operational Costs • Operating system consolidation • System management consolidation • Integrated installation of entire suite components • No third parties required • Efficient configuration & deployment • Improved diagnostics & manageability
Corporate Governance • New Securities regulations around retention and supervision of email communication. • Oracle Collaboration Suite • A Consolidated Infrastructure • Federated Search • Currently developing a collaboration classification system that allows our compliance officer to review communications that appear to be in violation of corporate/regulatory policies, such as transmitting member information, dishonest conduct, and other forms of irregularities.
Implementation • Live Today! • Email, Voicemail, Calendar and Oracle Internet Directory • Accelerated process with Oracle Consulting • Best practice implementation methodology • Take the opportunity set it up for the enterprise • Apply collaboration best practices • Phased implementation approach • Set up, migration and switch over without mixing environments
