– Business Practices issues when quoting for a tender for ‘single vendor’ solution
– Integration challenges– At the mercy of the few niche players
• Challenges for customer– Increased TCO– Key irritant remains a gap in ERP solution– Forced to work with multiple vendors– Technology / version certifications for integration at
the time of upgrade

– Increasing demand from customers for addressing the key gap
– Organizations are becoming global and the need for ITDM to be part of ERP is becoming common
– Can enhance our SCM, Logistics & Financials solution capabilities
• Sales Potential– Partner solution costs around USD45K* when Oracle does a
deal of USD100K…can help reduce Oracle TCO– Can be a priced product and provide additional revenue to
Oracle– Can help to go one-step above SAP since it is a key gap in
SAP too*Charged by Partners in India, product + implementation*Charged by Partners in India, product + implementation
