11 Introduction Detailed Cost Comparison Summary Appendix 2012 SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 11

12 OnDemand (OD) Defined OD applications are multi-tenant Allows multiple customers to share the same instance of the application. This decreases both the IT infrastructure costs and IT maintenance costs by sharing the instance while all data remains separate. When the application is upgraded, all customers are upgraded simultaneously. Customers are notified well in advance of upgrades and major upgrades provide an early access program The multi-tenancy capability provides the vendor much lower costs - which can be passed on to the customer SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 12

13 Behind the Firewall (BTF) Defined BTF implementations are single-tenant applications Nothing is shared. Single-tenant applications tend to be very difficult and costly to upgrade because of the customizations and complex integration required by these solutions. This dynamic results in costly and time-consuming upgrades, and infrequent code revisions 2012 SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 13

14 Points to be considered while decision making Does it give competitive advantage Is it core or non-core business requirement (Procurement, HR, Payroll,) Time required to Go Live Return on Investment (pay back time) Best practices Downtime Concerns Is Cloud the only option? 2012 SAP MENA.

23 Implementation Costs Cost Element Ariba OnDemand (OD) Behind-the-Firewall (BTF) Functional -Implementa tion -Testing Technical -Implementa tion -Integration -Testing 1. Designed implementation that takes days to weeks to implement 2. Best business practices, data, rules and templates already built into the application 3.

No assembly required 2. The underlying technology infrastructure for On- Demand applications is already in place when a customer decides to begin the use of one of these applications. 3. Integration Testing 4. Hardware Testing COST: Included in the Subscription price 1. Implementation takes months to years 2. Implemented with consultants at the customer site 3. Detailed Implementation methodology usually starting with a 6-8 week design workshop (each customer will have it s own custom design versus implement to a pre-configured design) 4. The implementation costs are usually absorbed in the first year of deployment 5. Application testing COST: $Additional One Time 1. In the case of BTF implementations, the Internal IT team must become technical experts in the software: installation, infrastructure, integration, issue diagnosis, and upgrades in order to work with the solution effectively. 2. This involves significant training, ramp up time, and paying for a large IT staff indefinitely. 3. Integration Testing 4. Hardware Testing COST: $Additional One Time 2012 SAP MENA.

25 IT Infrastructure Costs Cost Element Ariba OnDemand (OD) Behind-the-Firewall (BTF) IT Infrastructure 1. No significant technology investments all the organization needs is a PC/laptop already on the users' desks 2. Everything required to run the solution as detailed with the BTF is Included with OD 3. Anywhere access. Because on-demand is internet-based, you can typically access the full-functionality anywhere you have an internet connection 1. Significant technology investment is required: Database software, Operating system software, Backup software, Web server, application server and Monitoring software. 2. Requires high-availability IT architecture. This includes having redundant components (Server Hardware, Web Servers, Internet connection, etc.) and Service Level Agreements for over 99% uptime. 3. The architecture needs to also include proper backup equipment, software, and procedures COST: Included in the Subscription price 4. Traditional BTF enterprise applications requires a VPN connection and/or specialized client software. COST: $Additional Recurring 2012 SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 25

26 Operations Support Costs Cost Element Ariba OnDemand (OD) Behind-the-Firewall (BTF) Operations Support 1. On-Demand solutions include operations support.

Help desk is included for both end users and Suppliers 1. The internal cost of the on-going operations support of BTF solutions are made up of the following factors: 1. Log monitoring procedures for performance thresholds including warning messages 2. Ongoing Performance tuning 3. End user help desk 4. Web Trust, SAS70 and PCI certification have to be renewed on a periodic basis so that operations meet current web standards. (Note: Many internal IT departments do not regularly go through such rigorous audits?) COST: Included in the Subscription price 5.

27 Upgrades and Patches Costs Cost Element Ariba OnDemand (OD) Behind-the-Firewall (BTF) Application Upgrades and Patches - Patches - Upgrades - Innovation cost 1. The OD model removes all of the interdependencies on all the hardware and software needed to run the applications as it is controlled in a single environment not mixed with other solutions 2. The application of Patches and Upgrades to the customers solution is included and automatically performed on a regular schedule 3. Built for Change. Upgrades are performed automatically every 4-6 months (innovation). 4. Minimal to no downtime to the solution during maintenance. 5. JPM Securities writes.traditional applications tend to lose their customizations and integrations when underlying code is upgraded. This dynamic results in costly and time-consuming upgrades, and infrequent code revisions. In contrast, multi-tenant on demand applications typically have frequent new versions, simultaneous upgrades, and meta-data tenancy buys the vendor much lower costs which can be passed on to the customer. COST: Included in the Subscription price 1. One issue that all IT organizations have in running a data center with different BTF applications is the version support of the underlying software like Operating Systems, Database Systems, Web Servers, J2EE environment, etc. 2. Or the IT organization has to not only upgrade the application but all of the underlying components as well. In addition, the IT organization has to support those various versions of software. 3. Outside these inter-dependencies, there are Significant IT costs to Apply Patches and Upgrades to BTF solutions including testing. 4. Innovation is very limited as new features/functions only occur with new releases (vendor provides new releases every 2-3 years) and to take advantage of the new features/functions you need to perform an upgrade which is usually deferred (3-5 years out) 5. There is Downtime (hours - days) to the solution when any maintenance is performed COST: $Additional Recurring 2012 SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 27

28 Embedded Service Costs Cost Element Ariba OnDemand (OD) Behind-the-Firewall (BTF) Embedded Services - Customer manager - Event review - Event day management - Internal web-based training - Supplier training - Business Practice Center 1.

30 Why OnDemand? Faster Time to Value Time is of the essence - an on-demand model removes the complexity of installing a new solution in-house by bundling software, hardware, systems development, integration and management into one offering. Lower TCO and Quicker ROI On-demand solutions lower the TCO (total cost of ownership) by enabling the software to be used in a multi-tenant architecture, which amortizes the technology and service cost across all customers. Lower Risk Solution experts manage the administration, maintenance and upgrades to the technology, offering measurable availability, reliability and performance based on service-level agreements. The data centers have infrastructure redundancy and disaster recovery to ensure application availability and business continuity. Faster Adoption The on-demand model provides for faster adoption SAP MENA. All rights reserved. 30
