1 THE DECISIVE STEP AHEAD BOC GROUP COMPANY PROFILE

2 THANK YOU MORE THAN 20 SUCCESSFUL YEARS! July 2015 marked the 20th anniversary of the BOC Group. Prof. Dr. Dimitris Karagiannis and a few fellow campaigners from the then existing BPMS research group of the University of Vienna had founded the company in Ever since, an international medium-sized company has emerged and has become an innovative and successful market player for IT-based management tools and associated services. Our journey has always been characterized by continuous change. From a small business with centralized operation, we have become a multi-national corporation with distributed areas of responsibility. We have grown from a one-product business to a company with an extensive product and service portfolio and this by constantly adjusting to new technological frameworks. In addition to this portfolio we have actively and sustainably expanded to new regions and markets. At the same time, this change has always been accompanied by some constant factors: in strongly cooperative relationships with our clients we have always been open to dialogue and have never considered ourselves a unidirectional provider. We promote innovation through our experience, which we have gained through a large number of challenging projects, and we integrate this experience actively in the continuous development of our products and services. Furthermore, we emphasize diversity among our employees that, today, originate from nearly 30 nations and deliver creative ideas and solutions from different perspectives. Since its foundation, the BOC Group has had the opportunity to participate in a variety of exciting projects and initiatives with a vast number of interesting personalities. We would like to sincerely thank our clients, employees and partners for this journey and are already looking forward to the years ahead! Vienna, March 2017 Dr. Franz Bayer Dr. Harald Kühn Dr. Christian Lichka 3

7 SERVICES SUSTAINABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE Business and IT Management is all about engagement with rather complex situations requiring detailed attention and transparent decisions. Every management decision in an organization is accompanied by high expectations and high pressure for a smooth change towards improvement. Out of 20 years of hard work, a large number of projects, and extensive experience, we have become renowned developers and providers of products and services based on best practices, comprehensive know-how and international standards. We deliver the highest quality to our customers in five main management domains. odeling ts Clients ng Analytics ulting Time Management gement nment Time BPM Business Process Management (BPM) focuses on the core of your organization: how products and services are being delivered to you, within your organization and eventually to your clients, and which important success factors contribute to the end-to-end processes. BPM helps to design and optimise the process architecture and business processes along your value chain. Projects Goals BPM Business Process Projects Modeling This brings important benefits: by introducing sustainable business process management, your organization is able to align more flexibly to changing requirements and pursue your goals and those of your clients more effectively. Increased transparency allows for more efficient use of resources and highlights improvement potential to all stakeholders. We provide each and every role with specific views and dashboards within the BPM life cycle and help your organization on the way to process excellence and process innovation.

Therefor Enterprise Architecture Management (EA or EAM) focuses on optimising an often fragmented congregation of capabilities, processes, applications and technologies to support business strategy in the best possible way. A professional enterprise architecture programme allows for developing your business towards its target and helps you align your IT, so that your business services get delivered in a cheaper, faster and better way. Furthermore, the increased transparency allows your organization to analyse potential impacts of upcoming changes in a comprehensive yet timely manner. We can help to shape your EA by providing the tools and techniques. Every EA stakeholder in your organization will be able to contribute to and to benefit from your EA management system. BPA GRC BEX Once an organization manages to bring transparency into its process architecture, Business Process Analysis and Optimisation (BPA) is the next step towards a process-managed enterprise. Design and improvement principles follow your business strategy and reflect quality, time, costs, industry benchmarks, target operating models, process interfaces, resource allocation, customer touch points and many more. Whether you expect a big change focusing on one significant improvement potential or a rather evolutionary approach, we help you set-up and drive successful Business Process Analysis and Optimisation. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) are three important pillars of organizational management that aim at operating the business in pursuit of its goals while considering its organizational structure, potential hindering risks and adherence to given guidelines. In view of the recent shift from purely financial risks towards operational risks, continuous monitoring and control is inevitable for addressing these risks appropriately. We operationalise their definition, analysis, assessment and control and demonstrate how risk management becomes an established strategic management process in your organization. On a long run, every management system requires stakeholder-centric workflows which can be triggered manually or automatically, according to significant events, deadlines, achievements, unexpected issues and findings etc. Thus, re-certification of processes, evaluation of risks, control assessments, compliance surveys and many other management processes are an integrated part of the stakeholder-centric management system. Business Execution (BEX) is the next generation user experience within our products and services, integrating people- centric workflows: designed by the business and executed by the business. 13
