2 CIO s Dilemma: Deliver Innovation without Disruption Once my system is up and running, you can touch my core processes once every 5 years... and it needs to be a Saturday and my CEO wants me to innovate every quarter CIO, Fortune 1000 Manufacturing Company SAP 2008 / Page 2

3 Facing The Challenge Requires Agility AND Continuity INNOVATION Easy introduction of new processes Fast, tailored support of processes, when required Support new users The answer: SAP enhancement packages STABILITY Stay compliant Support core processes Use a stable technology platform Standardized maintenance schedule Driven Enhancements by CHOICE: Continuous innovation as part of regular maintenance Modular consumption of innovation by selective activation of business processes driven by business requirement SAP 2009 / Page 3 / EHP Technology Facts 4.0 / Christian Oehler

4 Delivery of Accelerated Innovation In the past: Upgrades and now: SAP Enhancement Packages / Requirements / Fu unctionality Requirements / Requirements Fu unctionality Requirements R/3 4.6C Implementation ERP Upgrade Time ECC 6.0 EHP 2 EHP 4 Time = Innovation gap = R/3 4.6C standard = Innovation gap = ERP 6.0 standard = ERP 6.0 standard = EHP functionality Upgrade as a major business activity every 5-6 years to fulfill business requirements. New functionality implemented in digestible portions via SAP enhancement packages. Continuously close functional gap With SAP enhancement packages, it is possible to regularly add new functionality
