An integrated system for all construction needs In an integrated system, data will be entered only once and be available to every part of the solution.

3 An integrated system for all construction needs In an integrated system, data will be entered only once and be available to every part of the solution. If your current software originates from different manufacturers, you will know from your own experience that this could be a problem if the data flow is provided only through manually build software interfaces. With your choice for BAU financials you can get rid of this problem, because we offer broad integration the integration of all desired business and technical functional units, and for all entities of your company (Head Office, Branch Office, building site), as well. The better the support of the software for your whole value chain, the higher the profit will be. Finally, a common data basis used by all parts of the system is a prerequisite for the up-to-dateness of the information and a very low data redundancy. Contemporary information, which is available at the fingertips of all entitled parties, is an essential factor of the success of your company. Goals such as entering financials data only once throughout the system or the continuous execution of all process chains without system gaps can only be achieved with an integrated system like BAU financials. Within a few seconds after pushing a button, you will see and validate data from all your different business areas. Our integrated solution for the construction business is the technical foundation for an extensive yield of information availability and for the preservation of your competitiveness. BAU financials is conceptually oriented to the concerns of medium-sized and industrial construction enterprises. 3

Benefits of the BAU financials product family With the help of BAU financials, you can perform your financial and technical tasks more efficiently and safely.

4 Benefits of the BAU financials product family With the help of BAU financials, you can perform your financial and technical tasks more efficiently and safely. To achieve this, the product family is on the leading edge of contemporary top technology: You navigate through the system without a need for extensive clicking within traditional data or file hierarchies. The graphical User interface corresponds to the design of the Microsoft Office product suite. You can attach documents, pictures and videos to your data. Remote surveillance of construction sites with video cameras, Internet connections to tender services or GPS-supported administration of devices with automatic posting of the device movement data on the particular building site these are not options of the future for us, but a reality. The software uses all capabilities of modern database systems, for instance multi-user and multitasking modes, efficient searching and filtering for data retrieval. A comprehensive multilevel security system protects your data within BAU financials against the use by unauthorized persons. For every user and every function, a different access privilege can be established particularly even to record and field levels. The complete system and all of the various modules are suitable for multi-company environments. With the help of BAU financials, even complex company, holding, and corporate group structures can be mapped without problems. Currently, you have the choice of German, French and Italian versions of BAU financials. The ease of use, the short training times, the almost unlimited adaptability to your special needs and the shortest possible lead time for your implementation: All that has always been our main concern. We would like to carry out even these IT projects with you which go beyond the capabilities of BAU financials itself into the product portfolio of the whole Nemetschek Corporation from CAD to Facility Management. 4

This is our opinion. That s why we selected a modular concept for our BAU financials product family. Thus you are guaranteed not to receive an over-dimensioned package but exactly the building blocks of functionality that you really need. BAU financials consists of several independent products, which depending on the activities and organizational structures of your company may be combined with each other or used separately. On the basis of tried and tested program components, we will flexibly package a tailor-made solution for you. Each component can of course be added to the implemented solution later. This will simplify the gradual introduction and enhancement depending on the requirements arising in your company until the completion of the integrated system, The detailed comprehensive functionalities of particular products, modules and add-on-modules will be brought to you in our data sheets. The following brief descriptions will give you, in addition to the graphics, a broad survey of the products: BAU financials BK is based on Microsofts ERP-System Dynamics NAV (MS Business Solutions-Navision). It covers accounting in the construction company, with its numerous facets, in a comprehensive manner, and offers maximum flexibility in the integration of the business processes of your company. BAU financials BT represents the technical part of the construction solution. The offer, calculation, allowance and accounting area can be broadened with the addition of the AVA and constructionsite controlling modules. Comprehensive functionality will be guaranteed despite low operation effort. BAU financials TRAB is an accounting and distribution system for the areas of concrete transport, asphalt blending, sand and gravel plants, quarries, recycling and landfills. The existing tower operations, scales etc. can be integrated naturally. Companies where only gravel or asphalt are accounted will not need all the complex program functions included in this product. We have created the BAU financials KiFa configuration specifically for these companies. ipunkt (meaning Info Point) is the information manager of the entire system. All data related to addresses and projects and the history of the business connections and project information can be administered optimally with the help of this product. DocuWare Connect guarantees the digital archival of your documents through the use of DocuWare and places them directly at your disposal in the construction software. MIS Connect creates the required connections that help you to prepare transdepartment management information using MIS-Tool. 5

6 Software service Construction specific organization consultation service Strategies for migrating your data Trainings, workshops Telephone support Implementation & Integration User group support Project management Update-Service Concept of service Creating the appropriate software for your company is the same as the construction of buildings: In the end, you can only use it optimally if the whole project planning is correct and suits your needs. You have to determine exactly for what the building areas will be used, which technical facilities will be designed or which economic indicators are relevant for it s management; likewise, you have to choose the appropriate software. This is exactly where our service starts. Our consultants will supervise you with their extensive know-how beginning from the pre-purchase phase; they will develop the appropriate IT solution for your company in the planning phase of course in cooperation with you and will stay with you in the project implementation phase. Our principal aim is the integration of our solution into the existing system topology. The existing data is to be preserved wherever possible; unnecessary data entry will be avoided. Our activities are not finished yet, however. Our experts will be at your disposal even after the project implementation. They will help you to find quick solutions to the issues related to the application and will provide you regularly with updates and upgrades. You can be sure that you will achieve the best with your software. As in the case of the construction process, the coordination of all building blocks leads to an optimal result; this also applies to our service chain. But of course we also offer every step separately, too. Each client has different demands and we want to always meet them. We don t regard the service merely as a service, but also as a product with a clear promise for the user: Greater productivity and efficiency for our clients. 6

7 Our Vision In the era of globalization, it is not enough to be an expert in a particular branch. Rather, we have to think holistically and integrated; and we need to have well-founded, specialized knowledge. The enterprises combined under the label Nemetschek AG are devoted to the complete lifecycle of the building: Design, build, manage. We, Nemetschek Bausoftware GmbH, are responsible for the area of build. Our products are completely integrated solutions for the entire value creation process of a construction company. We can contri- bute considerably to a significant increase in the competitiveness of our clients. We insist on innovative product and service delivery at fair prices because we want to be the favoured service provider for our clients today and to hold this position in the future. Many clients emphasize that they have decided to arrange business contacts with us because of our professional competence, program quality, diversity and flexibility. Construction software can be developed only by somebody who is an expert in this branch. As a client you too can benefit from a professional in constructions, which will make your life much easier in every construction phase. We have clear goals. Nemetschek has become one of the largest German enterprises in the sphere of construction software. Consequently, we want to use the know-how of more than 20 years and the skills of our highly motivated employees so that Nemetschek Bausoftware GmbH will become a market leader in the area of medium-sized construction companies. 7
