Introduction to aicomp | groupCompany History
18 October 2018 7
SAP’s LO-VC is used by this German startup AICOMP Consulting GmbH for the complete estimating process of a corrugated box plant.
Expansion of AICOMP’s operations started with offices in Switzerland (2002), USA (2003, 2008), Austria (2012), Bosnia (2017) and UK (2018).
The first VCPowerPack release hits the Paper Packaging and Media markets, providing a stable, maintainable SAP software AddOn.
With the acquisition of ABAYOO the aicomp | group continues expanding into the cloud sector, becoming #1 SAP Reseller for ByD in GER.

Our business idea
Stable and reliable software platform
VCPP ISSAP Core
What if you could use Standard out-of-the-box business software for your industry specific processes WITHOUT bending and modifying it so standard maintenance becomes impossible? That was the main idea behind aicomp | software. VCPowerPack enhances, not modifies SAP’s stable core processes with your industry specifications, tailored to your individual business processes.

Our cooperation history
11PowerPoint Guideline 18 October 2018
● 2007-2011: “Old VC” – rollouts in AT, DE, UKStandard SAP LO-VC with char/dependency orientation; issues: low performance due to 2.400-2.600 chars, UI not manageable for users
● 2008-2011: first usage of VC Powerpack as “Q2”Issue: Lead time for entering quotes/offer too long – quick entry with 95% cost accuracy requested; enhancements of our SAP LO-VC in parallel
● 2012: acquisition of Duropack plant (Mondi Bupak) which led to a Kernel and tool review. Decision for VCPP as Kernel solution which went live in 02/2014 (“COCA Light”)
Cooperation since 2007
1218 October 2018
● Since 2014,
o we did several upgrades of VCPP together as well as
o 9 COCA Light rollouts in PL and TR (around 450-500 additional SAP users in total).
o We implemented many improvements and enhancements to the new Kernel and handle issues and CR’s for both Kernel versions, but …
o We also failed on providing a CPQ solution which is seenas success, as competitive advantage, as workable solution for field sales and customer service by business - until now.
o In July 2018, we started a PoC of a different kind to finally reach this track record.
Successes and Lessons learned

Mondi CrP’sway to CPQ
1418 October 2018
From Stone Age to 2018 within 2-3 years
15
Stone Age Way of WorkingNo easy overview of customer (visit
preparation, “1 database”)Not 1 platform for sales person to do
her/his job and to cooperateNo speedy, performant way of getting
projects done and get out quotes/offers quickly (SAP ERP not
usable for Field Sales)<> competitive advantage low
“Tom’s Story”In 2014/2015, CrP developed a vision on how a day in life of a sales rep should look like and
how a CRM tool should support him/her. Tom’s story formed the
basis for a “Usage Concept” (~100 pages). This UC included
also the CPQ process.
Review of Scope and SplitIn 2016, we asked a business
consulting company to evaluate the scope and to define the split into
phases (priorization). In June, CrP’sOPCO confirmed scope and split
and IM department evaluated implementation partners.

Implementation & Rollout of C4C/Insight Phase 1
The implementation project started in 11/2016 and the first plant went
live in 09/2017.Since then, further 12 plants went
live. The rollouts shall further continue.

The Project Targets of C4C/Insight Phase 1
18 October 2018Mondi Group presentation 16
Improve and professionalise CrP’s sales
force (even more) and its work by providing easy,
fast, structured access to customer-related data in
1 platform.
The Scope Split
18 October 2018Mondi Group presentation 17
Insight/C4C Phase 1is about the classic CRM functions like
opportunity, activity and visit management, but also the integration to SAP ERP and other tools
to gain a 360° view in the customer.
Insight/C4C Phase 2 is about the Quote-Offer Process (CPQ),
Releasing the product into production, Workflows between different departments and integrating with
Product Innovation tools.
● In total, 13 (out of 16) plants are rolled outo 1 pilot and 12 rollouts in 5 waves
(1 – 2 – 5 – 2 – 1)
o 500 users have been created so far
● The project has won a SAP Quality Award in April 2018
● Currently, we see a rather diverse usage of the system (“what is most useful for me”)
● Considerations of defining new KPI’s based on C4C data as well as harmonising usage
● Since 03/2018, we are in detail alignments for CPQ process andpreparing Phase 2.

Our hypothesis that we wantedto verify
We can bring in our VCPP-basedspecification into C4C to be ableto configure our different product
types incl dependencies
All our costing and pricing logicscan remain in ERP (to avoid
double maintenance)
At the same time, calling costingand pricing is speedy enough
(returned within few seconds toC4C)
● Our PoC does not only exist on paper/slides – why?o Strategic importance for the business segmento Verification if our technical concept is technically feasible
(for key topics/requirements)o Verification of speed/performance of pricing request into
backend (as accordingly important for business)o We failed to generate a track record in the pasto Involvement of many people from several hierarchical
levels in Usage Concept and Alignment Phase > expectations are accordingly high
● Why with Aicomp, not with other CPQ tool?o Quoting/Offering to customer requires to specify in detail,
not only defining 5-10 parameters
● Scopeo Project creation as bracket for all activities necessary to
quote/offer a product to customero Data collection screen (fill in fields of all objects initially
triggered on 1 screen)o 3 cases: create project with
- Only Sample Request- Only Quotation (incl Pricing Request to ERP backend)- Sample & Quotation (incl Pricing request to ERP backend)- For 2 product types (out of 7), test data based on productive
system
o Few copy functions object to objecto Task Worklist, 2 Tiles on Home Screen
