• Next steps…
A few things to keep in mind before renewing with
SAP
• We have worked with customers like you, and
projects like yours, for decades
• We have first-hand experience with the Firstlogic/
Postalsoft products and are offering support
(in some cases, we wrote the original code! )
• We appreciate the sensitivity of how critical this
software is to your business
• This EOL event provides an opportunity to modernize
and explore new ways to improve your operations
There are time-sensitive implications of the
EOL announcement
• EOL for Job File, Rapid and library deployments of
ACE, DataRight-IQ (DTR-IQ) and Match/Consolidate (MCD)
• Support will cease on March 31, 2015
• Initial focus should be on replacing ACE to keep
CASS™ updates current
• Other products will continue to operate
• SAP upgrade path is Data Services/DQM – a very large
and complex product and no cloud NCOA/MoverID
• You are no longer an SAP customer

When considering a new provider, look for focus and
dedication to the industry
• SAP does not deal direct if you are < $1B
• If under $1B, you are served from the channel – few (if any) have
experience in your industry
• Channel system integrators provide services, not ongoing product
development and support (your support is SAP…)
• Satori Software is invested in the industry, providing ongoing
product development and delivering a high level of customer
support
Next steps…
• Set up an initial evaluation to assess your current products
and processes
• Conduct an on-site consultation to evaluate migration options, as
well as, additional capabilities to help improve operations
• Work with you to minimize changes and disruptions to your
operations and workflows
