Page 19: Outsourcing the Finance Function

Gain-Share Model – Funding Transformation “Vested Outsourcing” • Fair return to both sides

• Provide adequate financial incentive to both sides to drive transformation • Repeatable across different types of projects and across multiple years • Simple to administer and manage

• The benefits are shared between the two sides so as to give Accenture: • Cost of implementing the project (all projects are designed in a manner

where Accenture bears all implementation costs) – (A) • Compensation of revenue lost due to reduced charges resulting from the

transformation project (Calculate as a % of total benefits) – (B) • Transformation incentive – Calculated as a % of [(A) + (B)] • As the benefits are spread over the life of the contract, Microsoft’s share of

benefits from each project for each year is credited at the start of each fiscal year
