4 : Revision 9 Page 4 of 33 Preface Intershop & Training is dedicated to provide the best service to our customers. Our departmental motto is to provide customers with Top Quality Support. As part of these efforts, we wanted to have a benchmark for the processes that we already have in place. We decided that one of the best measures for the effectiveness of our processes would be ISO 9001:2008 certification. The certification will serve as verification that we provide consistently high quality to our customers, and is a milestone in our cycle of continuous improvement. I personally affirm my commitment to enhancing the Intershop & Training Quality System. I fully support the provisions of this manual. The documentation has one main objective: to serve as a structured basis for the further improvement of the support processes. As a consequence, the and Process Handbook provide an excellent overview of the existing processes, as well as those that are undergoing changes. Enjoy reading the & Training, and please come back with proposals for improvement. Andy Stephan Director Verify version on the Internet to ensure that this is the most current version

11 : Revision 9 Page 11 of Quality Policy The three objectives of Intershop & Training are enabling the shop manager, customer satisfaction and high quality of service. Intershop & Training s goal is to provide customers with top quality support. We accomplish this goal by listening to our customers needs and translating those into continuously improved services. Intershop has a clear focus on the Shop Manager. This means for the company: ensuring the products are explicitly developed for our customers. The company s guideline, to "Enable the Shop Manager" is the main principle for all work done and decisions made at Intershop. In the end, the shopmanager himself must be able to work at his/her best. For the Support & Training department this includes: support the shop manager managing the ecommerce process chain with excellent technical competence to solve problems in the application area, major knowledge of process logic and the ambition to find solutions that are commercially coherent. The Support department uses two essential tools, people development and process development, in order to meet the defined objectives. Intrinsically linked with the tools and objectives of the department are the key processes necessary for the running of the department (Support Life Cycle, Policy Management, Contract Maintenance, Request and Solution Handling, Solution Engineering). The processes help us to reach our objectives of enabling the shop manager, customer satisfaction and high quality of service. Our processes are monitored in order to strive for continuous improvement in processes, use of tools, and the way in which we meet our objectives.
