How most effectively to manage the SAP relationship Failure to understand SAP at this level puts organizations at a significantdisadvantage in proactively managing the relationship and the broader

company by 2015 Vision tied primarily to organic growth Multi-channel sales approach critical for execution Strategy to achieve this growth: doubling theaddressable market through innovation Driven by convergence: focused on 4 growth areas On-Premise Solutions (Core Business) On-Demand Solutions (Cloud) On-Device Solutions (Mobility) In-Memory Technology (HANA) SAP believes HANA is transforming the industry Not only is HANA an in-memory computing solution, it is the go-forwardcenterpiece of everything SAP is doing in the 3 other growth areasSAPs Growth Strategy2010 2015$110 Billion$220

channels Drive platform adoption Opportunity for greatercoverage & deepercustomer touch points Reinforces importance ofhaving well understoodengagement modelMulti - Channel Go-To-Market ApproachCustomers 7. | 7 2011 UpperEdge HANA = High Performance Analytic Appliance Data is stored in-memory (RAM) rather than on a disc or database Integrated database and calculation layer which allows the processing of massive amounts of real-time data in main memory provide immediate results from analysis and transactions Replaces the role of traditional databases Application scenarios that used to take 2-3 hours take less than 2-3 seconds 5 Hardware partners: Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM Standard BOM developed for HANA to help with hardware product parity HANA systems will be sold in small, medium, and large sizes 90% or so pre-configured with remaining 10% of custom configuration left to HW partners toaddress particular customer requirements Expect 1B in HANA pipeline by the end of 2011 Extension of HANA through service packs Aligns with SAPs stated goal of continuous improvement and innovation without disruptionWhat is HANA? 8. | 8 2011 UpperEdge Besides the HANA machines or devices, there will be an impact to SAPproducts in 2 forms All SAP products are being re-engineered to utilize HANA (On-Premise) New applications are being developed which will be delivered on the HANA ApplicationCloud (On-Demand) Announcements on the App Cloud coming in September, with product ramp release tobe made in October Goal is to have 4 global data centers for HANA App Cloud over time some may be co-located Specialized applications will sit on top of HANA, such as StrategicWorkforce Planning Will also support transactional workloadsExtending HANA 9. | 9 2011 UpperEdge Hardware pricing likely based upon a cost per TB For total solution costs, must add licensing costs and implementation Licensing costs only made on a per-customer basis as license model notyet released 3 options for license model and pricing: Amount of data processed (current SAP license approach) Amount of business value; or Cost savings to customer One thing is clear, pricing model will not be based on the number ofprocessors as SAP wants you to use as many as possible Aligns with SAPs goal of helping customers reduce the % of the IT budget that is spent onlegacy infrastructure Goal is to reduce those costs and capture an increase in the customers wallet Capitalize on trend of shifting investments from infrastructure to software solutionsHANA Pricing and License Model 10. | 10 2011 UpperEdge HANA will eventually impact the core applications and their capacity andspeed to process big data, transactions, and analytics in near real-time Will be the cornerstone for SAPs on-demand strategy (Cloud) Along with the NextGen Sybase Unwired Platform 2.0, will form the foundation for SAPsmobile solutions and on-device strategy HANA is impacting everything SAP does today, from product enhancements, tonew product development, to its go-to-market approach HANAs processing capabilities provide an unprecedented anchor that canthread an entire organizations SAP landscape, resulting in additional SAPproduct and user licenses as well as special licensing scenarios SAP will be aggressive to capture market share as fast as possible to plant this anchor HANAs potential for creating value in the customer base is high its potentialfor significantly elevating the complexity of managing the SAP relationship isequally highImpact of HANA 11. | 11 2011 UpperEdge As SAP introduces new products and functionality, they have a pattern ofrequiring new user licenses for the new functionality and for the deeper reachinto your ecosystem Originally SAP BI could be accessed via professional and limited professional user licenses After the acquisition of BusinessObjects, SAP required new user license categories of BusinessExpert User and Business Info User SAP is more than likely to develop new user license categories at higher pricepoints to reflect the increased value of having access to the new functionalitybeing licensed and deployed and the contribution across the entire value chain SAP currently maintains 12 different user categories which apply where your employeesaccess SAP functionality A subset of these can also be extended to non-employees in certain scenarios

ecosystem which is key for up-selland cross-sell opportunities It also elevates the likelihood of special licensing scenariosregardless of the interface to SAP functions and data 13. | 13 2011 UpperEdge Every SAP customer should understand indirect access rights Failure to understand and mitigate can promote significant cost growth and unbudgetedexpenditures SAPs stance: License requirements are based on the utilization of the softwarefunctionality independent of the technical interface used to access it Historically, SAP was vague and passive until learning of a specific scenarioIndirect AccessCustom-developedapplication/3rd partyapplicationSAP SoftwareSAPPlatformUserSAPApplicationUserSAPApplicationUserSAP Certified3rd partyapplication SAP now has very affirmative licensing policiesand rules regarding indirect access Named user licenses are required for all users of non-SAPsoftware who indirectly access SAP softwareIndirect Access 14. | 14 2011 UpperEdge Think of the number of different ways in which you may collaborate on differentbusiness scenarios across your value and supply chains (Extended Enterprise) Internal and external collaboration: Suppliers, Distributors, and Customers The licensing policies are very complex, and overall applicability will depend onhow your IT environment is structured SAPs licensing and pricing model is meant to promote the replacement of third party productswith SAP products Further entrenches SAP within your organization and increases SAPs share of your IT wallet As customers expand their SAP footprint and extend these and third partyapplications throughout their entire ecosystem, new user licenses and supportfees will be required None of this changes with HANA, Cloud, and Mobility: This likely exacerbates the situation SAPs licensing and packaging policies are structured to protect downstreamrevenue opportunities and instill a If not SAP, why not mindsetIndirect Access: Why is this Important? 15. | 15 2011 UpperEdge SAP has stated its 3 tiered product strategy since the beginning of 2010 Provide the value of SAP applications and processing capabilities in any manner in which anorganization wishes to consume them On-Premise (Core business); On-Demand (Cloud); On-Device (Mobility) In-Memory technology (HANA) is the lynchpin to SAPs product strategy as it tiestogether all 3 deployment models Multiple deployment models allow SAP to penetrate deeper into a customersecosystem and impact more business units and people in a more meaningfulmanner that previously capable Aligns with SAPs goal of having 1 billion people using their software by 2015 Multiple deployment models drives multiple license and pricing models whichultimately elevates the complexity and overhead of managing the SAPrelationship Longer-term, it provides SAP the opportunity to promote one common cloudbased solution (The suite always wins.)Impact of Multiple Deployment and License Models 16. | 16 2011 UpperEdge Ensure there is a well understand engagement model and account managementplan in place with SAP Assess the quality, integrity, and strength of your SAP relationship Gather input of internal stakeholders, end users, and unbiased third parties who can providecomparative perspective Drive and demand transparency in all your interactions with SAP Licensing, packaging, pricing, account navigation, downstream implications Gather intelligence, understand current market conditions, validate, and adapt Know SAP as well as they know you!
