1 Application Development Accelerator for a Leading Global Accounting Firm ATTENTION. ALWAYS.

2 THE CUSTOMER Our customer is one of the Big 4 Accounting firms with a global network of professional firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services with 174,000+ professionals delivering value in over 155 countries. THE CHALLENGE Our customer wanted to implement their vision of digitally transforming from a traditional model that was costly, risky and lacked operational process controls. Building a new digital application platform from scratch would take a year and close to half a million USD. This was compounded by almost 6 months to 1 year to develop a service. They were unable to pick a single, unified enterprise application development accelerator in the market to meet their key challenges: Non-integrated Business Ecosystem: Network of numerous applications and services that could not be accessed, controlled or optimized for a holistic integration strategy. Operational Inefficiencies: Unique services distributed across the world could not be mapped for different application users resulting in operational challenges. Lack of Business Process Control: Scalable frameworks were not in place for a single platform to bring about agile service delivery, proactive monitoring or application adoption.

3 Digital Transformation Approach Visualize the right framework The customer was recommended PropelDE-a globally distributed, uniformly managed and centrally administered platform for: A robust, secure, scalable, configurable enterprise architecture framework for building various services Accelerated development of new services/applications 4 Coverage of entire service/application delivery lifecycle Proactive Monitoring Accelerator Framework Code Generators Master / Details Screen Renderer Applications API Default CRUD s / DTO Micro s Support Declarative Forms / Grids Item Templates / Code Generator Common UI Controls Swagger Integration Rest Hepers Oauth2.0 and HMAC authorization Configurability Workflow, Pre/Post Processors Custom Field Extensions SSO, Identity / Privilege Policy Based Authorization Security Performance Integrated Performance Profiler, Logger Pub / Sub Caching Auto Filters Hierarchical Tenant Settings Multi Tenancy Maintainability Logging, Event Audits, Exception Handling Dependency Injection Container Role Based Row Action Filters Hard/Soft Data Boundaries Integrity Scalability Data Sharing Distributed Applications Vulnerability Checks Cloud Neutral Reliability

4 Personalize the Digital Framework Customize PropelDE not only to develop applications quickly but also use this as a centralized management platform for: Global scale infrastructure and application platform service delivery. Single sign-on for seamless access to multiple global services. Managing smarter compliance requirements across geographies. Subscription Upgrate Chargeback Tenant Monitoring Publishing DSP Monitoring Tenant Onboarding Delivery Tenant Configuration Subscription Engineering Team Robust Multi-tenant Architecture that is scalable and secure MT building blocks that can reduce significant effort Engineering components to simplify coding Tools to improve developer's productivity Business Team Error free and efficient mechanism to provide innovative subscription models, chargeback models, etc. Collect/track usage on time Increase application adoption Usage Analytics Operatioins Team Quick and cost effective way to rool-out new applications Setup, configure and manage tenants Solution to handle increasing number of support tickets Monitor the platform to take proactive steps Actualize to derive platform benefits Building a Digital Platform from scratch would have taken a year and close to half a million USD. In the absence of the framework it took almost 6 months to 1 year to develop a service. With PropelDE, we were able to build 4 services in less than 6 weeks time. PropelDE, the digital application accelerator, created a centralized way of managing and delivering digital apps to transform client interactions with the way they consume and access services. With PropelDE in place we were able to build 4 digital services in less than 6 weeks time significantly improving upon the earlier time of 6 months to a year. Customers are empowered with rich framework features and a consistent user experience that would offer new channels of revenue. Through PropelDE we have not only saved a huge cost, but also avoided the technical risks associated with building something from scratch.
