Joint GTM Oracle | Retek

Industry Driver Challenges Spearhead Enablers

To comply with increasingly onerous corporate governance requirements, retailers and trading partners must generate and manage unprecedented levels of data.

Dual pressures of financial performance and delivering differentiated customer experiences requires retailers to utilize a single demand plan to drive assortments and maximize returns on inventory assets.

To increase competitive edge, retailers and their suppliers must set collaborative goals, participate in shared programs, monitor and validate effectiveness in shared plans and execution.

The exploding choices of channels and retailers is elevating the importance of consumer experience. Now, more than ever, service and experience drive consumer loyalty.

Because retailers and trading partners operate information silos, they must gather and analyze data from many conflicting sources before discerning what is accurate and true.

Consumer demand fluctuates dramatically from market to market depending on competition, events, weather, pricing, promotions — you name it. Retailers need to orchestrate all functions around one demand plan.

Supply and demand issues, constraints and costs require retailers to collaborate with trading partners for instantaneous reactions.

The retail workforce is increasingly more transient and often ill-equipped to personify a retailer’s brand promise.

Information Integrity for the Extended Retail Enterprise(Better information, better decisions)

Planning Driven Enterprise (Better agility, tailored customer experiences, better results)

Supply Chain Collaboration (Optimal inventory controls, better ROI)

Workforce Excellence(Better service, better retail.)

Point Solution Competition

● It’s important to take notice of point solution competitors– We encounter point solution competitors across our retail

solution groups

● Best-of-breed point solutions or enterprise system– Oracle | Retek is the only point solution provider to offer a modular

approach to invest in and implement an enterprise retail system– “Xi changes the game with applications that compete individually

in store operations, retail planning and supply chain, but deliver as a tightly integrated, consistent platform with demand intelligence at the core – exactly what a retailer needs to achieve profitable differentiation.”

● Only to offer back office solutions– Oracle | Retek is the only retail solution provider to offer retail point

solutions for HR and finance

Only Oracle | Retek

Advantage Oracle | Retek Disadvantage SAP Leading provider of proven scalable solutions for multi-segment and multi-channel retailing

● SAP does not have the tech stack nor the full functionality of Retek’s suite. SAP started in manufacturing, not Retail

Powerful solutions for any size retailer. ● SAP offering is only suited for the big Retailers, with large capacity for full deployment.

Leading provider of technology and full enterprise suite to run any retail enterprise regardless of financial method of accountability

● SAP does not support Retail Stock Ledger

Always built on standards ● SAP Proprietary ABAP & SAP NetWeaver do not adhere to industry needs

Proven demand analytics and forecasting. ● SAP claims to have analytics, but question what is installed and being used.

Leading provider of solutions built for the full retail enterprise, including store operations

● SAP does not have store operations.

Widely adopted merchandise planning for retail. ● SAP has weak merchandise planning.

SAP: Selling to IT to Hide the Gaps

“With significant functionality gaps, SAP has been targeting the CIO or CFO for its retail wins. One CIO admitted business users actually preferred the functionality of other retail application vendors over SAP.”

SAP: Areas of Weakness Abound

SAP…could be hampered by exposed gaps in its retail product depth and breadth. SAP must focus its financial and development efforts immediately on those areas where its weaknesses are most evident to retailers:

– Store technology

– Demand Intelligence

– Merchant-centric usability

– Core retail execution AMR

Scott LangdocAMR, April 7, 2005

NOTE: In a few discussions, Langdoc has said that SAP has “functional holes that you could drive a semi truck through.”

JDA Confusion Stalls Growth

Confusion about its new product roadmap and timing is causing an overall slowdown for JDA’s products.

Only four customers to date implementing .NET -- and none are expected to be referenceable until the end of the year.

“This is not surprising given the messaging during last year’s third quarter earnings call when CEO Brewer stated that this initial .NET release would haveless functionality than the legacy products.”

Information Integrity for the Extended Retail Enterprise(Better information, better decisions)

Retailers and trading partners have silos of information, making planning, management and execution difficult, resulting in inaccuracies in orders, and reconciliation.

Information Integrity for the Extended Retail Enterprise(Better information, better decisions)

Executing from the same data through collaboration and/or synchronization within retailers and extending to their trading partners, all users enjoy the benefits of data integrity such as order/invoice accuracy and reduced supply chain disruption.

Planning Driven Enterprise (Better agility, tailored customer experiences, better results)

Causal factors are used along with demand history to give retailers all the relevant data points and derived lift factors to accurately predict future demand.

With a common demand planning engine across the retail enterprise, retailers can ensure that all demand-related processes are synchronized.

Supply Chain Collaboration(Visibility and Agility to Match Supply to Demand Cost Effectively)

When each node of the supply chain does not have forward visibility to aggregated demand they must maintain higher safety stocks or risk lower service levels.

Integration Update – Media Coverage

“ Industry watchers said it was impressive that (Oracle-Retek) is already showing co-developed products to customers.”

“ SAP’s biggest cut on the Oracle-Retek marriage was that it would take too long for the combined entity to address the integration issues…specifically tying the retail software to other enterprise applications. By getting a release out the door so quickly, Oracle may be able to eliminate some of those doubts, or at lease get people to sit down with both companies before buying, according to experts.”
