© SAP 2008 / Page 2

The primary purpose of this presentation is to educate SAP customers on the new Business Objectsbusiness intelligence platform and how it will co-exist within NW BI or BW environments. Furthermore, to re-assure existing NW BI customers of the value of SAP NetWeaver BI (esp. BIA and Data Warehouse). It willalso provide a roadmap** for the future of BI tools, and SAP NW BI (esp. BIA and Data Warehouse) for SAP customers going forward.

The secondary purpose is to help SAP customers see the value in the new Business Objects BusinessIntelligence Platform by describing the capabilities of the new BIP Packages that are sold to SAP customerstoday.

**NOTE:

The roadmap portion of this presentation is primarily focused on the long term direction of the BI tools found in NW BI(ie BEx Analyzer, Web Analyzer, Web Application Designer, Report Designer) .

The roadmap will not explicitly discuss the future direction of Business Objects’ BI tools since these tools are anintegral part of the new Business Objects business intelligence platform for SAP customers going forward

In addition, it is important to note that the core foundation of NW BI (ie BW) as well as the BI Accelerator, MDM andVisual Composer will continue to receive innovation and development going forward

This presentation only covers Business Objects’ Business Intelligence Platform and not the Financial Performance

Management suite

Primary audience: SAP customers who are currently in production with (or have made a commitment to)SAP BW or NW BI 7.x

Secondary audience: SAP customer’s running SAP ERP and who are considering adopting SAP BW or NWBI

NOTE: This presentation is much less relevant for non-SAP customers

Customer Challenges

Business Intelligence tool complexity

End user adoption is crucial to success of any BI initiative

Too many different tools with steep learning curves

Complex data models beyond the understanding of business

Flexibility to respond to change

Technology cannot keep up with the speed of thought Data models quickly get out of sync with business models

Disconnect between business and IT leads to misunderstandings and long

development cycles

Information fragmentation

Information is locked away in application silos and heterogeneous sources

Integrating information requires expert knowledge

Disconnect between analytic and operational applications

Analyst Feedback

“When combined, SAP and Business Objects will be by far the largest BI platform vendor ,almost twice the size of the next largest firm.”

(The acquisition of Business Objects)

“… fills a significant gap

in SAP's query and reporting

tools portfolio.”

“…

Business Objects offers a broad and complete BI platform with customers rating

its core

reporting and ad hoc query capabilities particularly highly.”

“Business Objects has widespread adoption as a BI standard

— around 90% of the

customers Gartner contacted as part of this research considered Business Objects a BIstandard in their organization.”

“SAP's BI Accelerator, leveraging in-memory analytics

and column-based vectoring, has

significantly "raised the bar" among the major BI platform providers in terms of data scalabilityand performance ...”

“With its applications expertise and infrastructure reach, SAP is

well positioned to "weave"

business intelligence into business applications and processes, at a time when process-drivenBI

is a rising market driver and key to making BI more pervasive.”

“With over 13,000 deployments, SAP has been remarkably successful in getting its customers

to embrace NetWeaver BI.”
