3 We deliver profitable and responsible solutions for agriculture and the environment What We do Our knowledge, products and solutions grow farmers, distributors and industrial customers businesses profitably and responsibly, while protecting the earth s resources, food and environment. 3

4 We deliver a complete portfolio of offerings What We offer Crop Nutrition solutions Nitrogen application solutions Environmental solutions Basic products Ammonia Urea SSP Nitric Acid Nitrates NPK CN TAN 4

5 Born in Norway, we have pioneered agricultural growth and production for over 100 years Birkeland s invention Birkeland s discovery that hydroelectric power could be used to extract nitrogen from the air led to Norsk Hydro opening December 2, Attracting Royal attention New large scale production plants opening and under construction in Notodden and Rjukan respectively are visited by King Chulalongorn of Siam. The plant at Herøya established in First production of regular NPK fertilizer in Extending our reach Stockholm is home to a new sales office and the USA becomes a customer. The Glomfjord plant opens using hydroelectric power to upgrade ammonia to calcium nitrate and NPK. Going global Qafco JV established in Yara acquires companies in the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, the UK, France, Italy and China and establishes an office in Zimbabwe. Adubos Trevo is acquired in Brazil. Going public industry shaper March 25, 2004, Yara is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The tagline Knowledge grows introduced. Yara offers solutions and work with public and private partners to create profitable and sustainable growth both for shareholders, stakeholders and society at large Knowledge grows providing shared value Yara s knowledge, products and solutions grow farmers, distributors and industrial customers businesses profitably and responsibly while nurturing and protecting the earth s resources, food and environment. 5

7 BIFF Program Vision 7

8 BI within Yara how is it used now? Provide a basis for analyzing performance, detecting patterns and exceptions, and producing decision support information at Yara, Segment, Business Unit and market level Feeds aggregated data to Management Reporting but contains vast amounts of detailed data Also used to produce and distribute operational reports at local and individual level 8

9 Project Background reasons for action SAP BW since 2000 Only European SAP BW adopted since 17 years Complex dataflows Old configurations Data in Silo s BW only supports YSAP (European SAP) NOT globalization proof Nightly Loads Slot for Nightly Loads becomes full Need for multiple dataloads per day Reporting Reporting performance is too slow Proliferation of queries and reports Unclear and messy reporting structure 9

10 Architecture What has been chosen AS-IS TO-BE Proven, state-of-the-art technology BW Version 7.3 BW Version 7.5 Easy access to multiple sources «Process-oriented» architecture ORACLE Database SAP HANA Database Include multiple SAPs, Sun etc. Role-based report «portal» - Information push 10

11 No Migrate GREENFIELD 1 SIMPLIFICATION 2 GLOBILIZATION 3 END USER IMPROVEMENTS 4 ENABLE FUTURE FEATURES 11

12 Greenfield Simplification Reduce development time and costs in projects Introduce Hybrid data models Data layers in BW is significantly reduced -> agile BI Less impact on ECC environment with project go-lives 12

13 Greenfield Globilization Globalization: Allow for future growth and BI Pipeline Global BW with integration of BRASAP, PSAP, SUN, procurement, production, inventory etc Deliver projects as per BI Pipeline and not constrained by old technology (silo based) and storage space/memory on server 13

14 Greenfield Frontend Rethink Frontend Performance Move to role based reporting Tackle complexity of the reporting structure Reduction of manual work by pre-processing Faster reporting From scheduling to on-the-fly running Frequent data uploads New Tools & Technology Implementation of Lumira Upgrades of BO Platform (Fiori based is planned) 14

15 End User Role Based Reporting Strategic Segment Scorecard with outcome KPIs to facilitate strategy execution Internal and external focus Historical and forward looking Tactical Business unit/ country Dashboard with outcome and driver KPIs to enable analysis and performance optimization Internal and external focus Historical and forward looking Operational Sales/terminal/plant Operational reports / dashboards with operational metrics to monitor/control core processes Internal focus ERP based information 15

16 Future what s in scope? The All-New SAP HANA BI Landscape All in one data reservoir Wave 1, Q1-Q (more ) Wave 2, Q2 17 Q4 18+ Not in scope 16

17 Greenfield Conclusion Greenfield also possible within large multi-nationals Take the opportunity NOW (or wait when it s too late) Don t underestimate the time and materials 17

18 Greenfield First Question..
