  8. SAP has a Solid History of leading technology transitions ( Oracle is still planning Fusion)

  9. SAP is leading the industry with its ESA vision

  10. Industry leaders endorse SAP’s Strategy

  11. SAP has strong and Diverse partner EcoSystem

  12. Oracle’s Strategy poses significant Risks for customers

  13. Technology Mergers Rarely meet expectations

  14. Oracles challenges are immense

  15. Customers face Risk Regardless of Oracles execution

  16. Pains of Oracle Customers Frequent upgrade and patches are very high due to which the stability level of the system is very low. It is very complex from the maintenance point of view ….Oracle Customer Any customization of reports which is linked to India localization is very cumbersome as the data is stored in two different tables, one for base apps data and the other for localization data ….Oracle Customer..2 User unfriendly as the application information is scattered across various screens which needs extra maneuvering by the users. ….Oracle Customer…3

  17. Commons Issues at Oracle Implementations Navigation through the system is very tedious across the modules ….Oracle Customer…4 Multiple windows not possible for review of multiple screen ….Oracle Customer..5

  22. SAP Vs Oracle : Industry point of view As per Technology research & analysis firm, Gartner Inc. – • Oracle’s E-Business suite vision lacks clarity and its long term product strategy is uncertain. It is likely to limit functional enhancement to its E-Business suite beyond 2008 • Oracle's project Fusion – in which it plans to develop a new application suite with new architecture, makes it a highly risky proposition since the future of products currently bought would become suspect • SAP product support is better managed as its MySAP suite has far less number of batches compared to Oracle • SAPs presence in Indian context is much more proven and stable as it has experience of over 650 customers in India

  23. SAP supports Java and works with the Java community • SAP NetWeaver provides complete support for Java technology • SAP is an active contributor to the Java Community Process (JCP) and a member of the JCP Executive Committee • SAP supports ABAP because customers want it; Oracle continues to use its own language • “If I am a customer and I never see ABAP, and underneath my code are robust, standard business processes that are proven in 30,000 customers around the world, do I care? If my application is built in [Oracle's] PL/SQL, is that more proprietary or less proprietary than ABAP? If my business is already running and customized by ABAP and put in the market—there is a collective $1 billion in ABAP code in the market—the last thing I want is for SAP to walk away from ABAP.”1 (1) eWeek article, “SAP’s focus: Getting Pieces To Work In Harmony” can be found at: www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1779652,00.asp (2) “CMI Alert on Oracle Q4 06 earnings” - Q4 06 (Oracle including all acquisitions) $1,630M; Q4 04 (Oracle, PSFT, JDE, Siebel) $1,767M (3) SAP Q2 ’06 Preliminary Release Press Release, 06/13/06

  24. Oracle continues to use its proprietary language • Oracle will continue to use PL/SQL for some functionality (Gartner, July 2005) • SAP NetWeaver and the service enabled mySAP business suite Are products which are available now, unlike Fusion • Oracle has little knowledge of the SOA landscape and is purposefully trying to confuse SAP’s product roadmap • Oracle applications are not written exclusively in Java • The current eBusiness suite is dependent on the use of Oracle Forms and PL/SQL — older generation technologies with limited compatibility to new-generation SOA (Gartner, July 2005) • SAP embraces modern • programming languages • [SAP NetWeaver AS] supports ABAP and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) … (Gartner, 2005) • Oracle is dependent on non-standards based functionality • Components of [Oracle’s] application require non-standards-based functionality in Oracle Fusion Middleware (Gartner, 2005) • ABAP is a strong, effective code base • SAP’s ABAP is a proven performer with 30K+ customers throughout the world • SAP NetWeaver • supports standards • Can be extended with commonly used development tools such as Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Microsoft .NET and IBM WebSphere • Oracle’s data model requires expensive customization • Oracle’s model is generic without vertical industry extensions, resulting in high customization. • Oracle now has 5 separate data models as it has yet to integrate JDE, PSFT, Siebel, & Retek • SAP is focused on • customer data needs • SAP’s Master Data Management enables businesses to synchronize and centrally manage data through a flexible model that allows aggregation from both SAP and non-SAP sources • SAP actively manages upgrades to benefit customers • SAP customers upgrade less often than average and expect to upgrade less often than average (AMR, 2004) • Oracle upgrades carry cost • Oracle customers spent 43% more and required 39% more time when upgrading compared to what they had expected (AMR, 2002)

  25. Oracle Misleads About SAP’s NetWeaver CapabilityIgnores SAP NetWeaver’s Successful Reality • SAP embraces all modern programming languages • [SAP NetWeaver AS] supports ABAP and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) … (Gartner, ‘05) • Oracle continues to use its own language • Oracle will continue to use PL/SQL for some functionality (Gartner, 2005) • SAP NetWeaver supports web • services BPEL standards • SAP actively develops and • supports open standards • Oracle has nothing new to say - standards is yesterday’s markting msg • Interoperability is hardly a differentiator … all Aps vendors support (or pledge …) the same collection of standard and proprietary protocols (Gartner, 2005) • SAP NetWeaver provides strong security functionality • SAP NetWeaver AS provides a single point of user administration, which can be synchronized with an external directory server via LDAP through dozen of partner-provided alternatives • The security burden of proof is on Oracle • A new set of critical vulnerabilities shows that Oracle can no longer be considered a bastion of security (Gartner, 2006) • SAP NetWeaver is designed with comprehensive Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) capabilities • SAP’s BAM capability alerts users to specified business events, enabling them to take the correct action in the right context. More broadly, BAM helps organizations to monitor and optimize business processes • Customer data hubs difficult and expensive to implement • It is costly to link up data hubs in environments with high process integration needs; companies might not see ROI for at least two years (Gartner, 2004) • SAP NetWeaver is a great success • NetWeaver has 35,000 installations, 6000 customers using it as a strategic platform, high sat rates, 320 ISVs powering their solutions with it and is ranked as a leader by leading analysts • The current version of NetWeaver delivers on SAP's promise to provide a comprehensive integration solution … (Forrester, 2005) • MDM is strong with an • established product roadmap • SAP was first to market with an MDM vision and continues to develop a best in class solution, as evidenced by our 22 success stories Note: Details on how SAP supports standards are in the document “Building Standards-Based Business Applications” located at: http://smart.sap.corp:1080/smart/media.asp?v=53881

  26. Oracle Misleads About UpgradesMisuses Statistics & Distorts Reality • Oracle is not “easy” to upgrade • Oracle customers spent 43% more and required 39% more time when upgrading compared to what they had expected (AMR, 2002) • Oracle forces upgrades • Oracle forced an upgrade by de-supporting 10.7 in ‘03. The Gartner report cited in this ad states Oracle had “driven users from v10.7 to 11i” • Oracle apps are error prone • Oracle releases products before they are ready. In its first 6 months, 11i had 5k bugs (Forrester, 2001) • Upgrades carry cost • Upgrades cost an average of $1839 per user and one man-week of labor for every business user (AMR, 2004) Note: Gartner publicly repudiated Oracle for its misuse of data: http://ombudsman.blog.gartner.com/blog/index.php?id=2 Oracle uses the following Gartner report for this ad: “ERP Upgrades Will Reflect The Uncertainty Of The Overall Market”, March 2005
