Besides these exploding prices, the present overall economic climate is
not looking favorable
Business Need & Value Proposition Slide
Macro Economic Issue Evidence
Consumers overtaken by
pessimism
• Inflation has risen to 15.9% for energy and 5.1%
for food
• Home prices are declining while unemployment
has increased to 5.5%
• Consumer confidence hits 16-year low
Economic outlook
indicates recession
• Real GDP growth slowing down:
• Negative GDP growth reported for Q4 2007
by BEA
• CEO confidence indices record low5
Weak US Dollar
• Dollar has weakened 16% against Euro and
11% against Yen during January 2007 – June
2008
Stock markets falling
• S&P 500 down 16% in June 2008 since October
2007 peak
• NASDAQ down 13% in June 2008 since
October 2007 peak
Implications
• Companies need to undertake specific
tactics to survive and win in the downturn
economy
• Increase of import prices
• Export opportunities becoming more
lucrative
• Investors expecting lower rates of return
across industries
• Companies challenged to meet investors’
expectations
• Consumers are losing purchasing power
and reducing spending
• New revenue streams are increasingly
difficult to acquire
Credit crunch resulting in
capital challenge
• Lending standards are getting tighter and
decreasing liquidity:
• Institutional loan issuance in Q2/08 down
61% from the previous year
• IPO activity in Q1/08 down 60% from the
previous quarter
• Higher cost of capital limits profitable
investment opportunities
• Capital shortage makes it harder to
finance CAPEX
In these circumstances outsourcing can create efficiencies and significant cost savings.

Declining or

revenues
• Firms have direct control over their procurement and cost
structure
• Efficiency and effectiveness improvements through new
operating models provide sustainable mid-to-long term benefits
• Cost of debt and the availability of
capital are defined by the markets – a
firm has limited or no influence
• Strong balance sheet provides shelter,
but changes to the capital structure
are not carried out overnight
• In downturn economy,
capturing of new revenue
streams is challenging and
has risky payoff
• Requires increased SG&A
and/or R&D spending
The capital challenge during downturn is
largely beyond control of the firm

Optimum finance and accounting costs structure can be attained with
operational excellence and right process sourcing strategies
Finance and Accounting Example
• Global sourcing strategies (SSC, outsourcing,
off-shore locations) to achieve optimum cost
structure in service delivery:
– Over 90% of world class finance
organizations use shared services for AP,
T&E, Credit and Technology Portfolio1
Global process sourcing
Operational efficiency
• Process streamlining and harmonization:
– Often supported by service consolidation
and continuous improvement
• Simplification of the infrastructure:
– Fewer bank accounts, legal entities,
business reports
Best performing
companies have 51%
lower overall finance
costs than median
companies1
IT support
• Imaging and workflow management,
electronic transaction handling, decision
support and decision automation, self service
• Streamlining systems and information flow:
– Especially for global companies with many
local operations and systems
Management insight
through cost management
systems
• Cost measurement with reliable and up-to-
date cost info and insight
• Cost management through informed decision
making:
– Product mix and pricing, CRM, supplier
selection, product design, cost reduction
initiatives, make or buy decisionsSource: (1) The Hackett Group, 2008

HR
The HR function provides cost management opportunities with process
optimization and HR service portfolio alignment
Process & organization
optimization
• Outsourcing and/or Shared Services help to
provide low cost transactional services
• Standardized processes decrease cycle times
and HR headcount need
• Low complexity organization reduces
coordination effort and costs
• Improved recruiting process (shorten cycle,
“choose better”) saves attrition related costs
HR Shared Services
with automated
processes present
over 20% cost
reductions potential¹
HR services portfolio re-
alignment
• Prioritization of HR service portfolio allows to
focus budget on services that are key to
business success
• Workforce analytics to identify ‘must have’,
‘should have’ and ‘nice to have’ HR services
Source: (1) The Hackett Group, 2007 – based on survey of 125 companies
Example
Automation of
transactional processes
(eHR)
• eHR services enable self-service and
minimize HR workload
• Common infrastructure as a platform for
coherent processes, applications,

service harmonization
• Reduction of fixed assets by using sell and
lease back options, analysis of IT value and
cost drivers, SLA-based controlling

infrastructure and data landscape to improve
IT efficiency
• Improved bundling of procurement orders for
hardware, software and IT services
• Audit and re-negotiation of existing contracts

R&D is among the first areas to experience retrenchment during downturn,
however, there are also opportunities to improve R&D efficiency
Product Development Example
• Portfolio level decision making at control
gates to optimize R&D pipeline value, risk
level and resource use:
– Customer insight, technology insight and
business case driven process
• Integrated decision making with lifecycle
updates and refreshments
Portfolio management
Operational efficiency
• Gate approval model to justify investment
decision for the next phase:
– Separating innovation and conceptualizing,
detailed product definition, product
creation, and technology development
• Shortening of development cycles and time to
market
Reduced time-to-
market, increased
R&D resource
efficiency and
effectiveness.
Technology leverage
• Product Lifecycle Management, Product Data
Management, Electronic data capture
• End-to-end product architecture and
information management
Modularity and common
platforms
• Reducing redundancy and accelerating
development with modular product design and
use of common platforms
• Supported by product architecture

Logistics & Fulfillment
On average, logistics costs represent 9.7% of a company’s revenue,
making logistics an important area of focus for cost improvement1
Examples
• Holistically align costs and service levels of the
distribution network with commercial objectives
• Relocate sourcing and DC locations based on
“new economy” fuel price trends
• Select the right transportation mode, routing, and
carrier based on cost and service criteria
• Consolidate shipments and leverage backhaul and
continuous move opportunities
• Ensure the freight payment process audits for
correct accessorial and fuel surcharges; auto-pay
carriers to reduce payment approval overhead
• Institute a core carrier program to optimize
transportation spend by carrier by lane
• Scorecard vendors and carriers to drive
compliance with both routing guides and delivery
performance metrics
• Improve the efficiency of receiving, put-away,
order selection, and other labor-intensive
warehouse activities
• Ensure optimized warehouse product slotting for
space and labor efficiency
• Replace costly safety stock inventory with
information about in-transit inventory
• Leverage the capabilities, assets, and lower cost
profile of third-party logistics providers

opportunities for better managing your marketing and sales spending
Sales & Marketing Example
• Target, up-sell and cross-sell to High Value
Customers (HVC)
• Exit unprofitable customers
• Service level differentiation
Customer segmentation
and value planning
Optimized spend and
focus, decreased
service costs, helps
build loyalty
Loyalty and customer
satisfaction programs
• Retention programs for HVC, increase
perceived switching costs
• Surveys and other tools build perception of
value
Channel consolidation
and rationalization
• Sales, Service and Fulfillment channel
process optimization
• Vendor consolidation/rationalization
• Training (decrease time to resolution)
• Online tool development (decreases live
channel interactions)
Improve sales force
effectiveness
• Improve personalized sales efforts, sales
automation, improve tendering process,
reduce customer specific customization
• Transfer sales to on-line channel, sales
agents, external value chain partners
Increased customer
loyalty, decreased
new customer
acquisition costs
Self service methods
and live channel

Process Optimization assessments across people and process has
become a basic focus cost reduction
Process Optimization:
Measures the cost and financial performance of
activities, resources, and cost objects
Assigns resources to activities and activities to cost
objects based on their use, and recognizes the casual
