Timeline: Then and Now Where we are going

What the SAP/Business Objects Acquisition means

to us


25/42


Where we started

Hughes first implemented SAP in 1998 for HR/PYon release 3.1h

Subsequent upgrades resulted in theimplementation of additional modules

We have 1,500 total users of the system, with 600of them being ESS users only.


26/42


27/42


Why we sought a third partyreporting solution

Development of ABAP reports required a specifictechnical expertise

Wanted a rapid report development cycle ABAP

programming required more time than users werewilling to wait

Functional areas wanted to empower their super

userswith the capability to generate formattedreports independent of IT involvement

Wanted the ability to broadcast key reports to userswho had no technical or practical knowledge ofSAP

Needed to provide users a more robust platform inwhich to interact with their data


28/42


Where we are now

Leveraging the reporting capabilities ofBusinessObjects to access both ERP (R/3) and BW data

Generating reports from SAP ECC 6.0 and BW 7.0

architectures

Reports are viewed via Hughes enterprisereporting portal

300+ SAP reports currently consumed in productionare generated with Business Objects reportingsolutions

Currently developing new FI reports against BW datausing the latest Business Objects reporting solutions


29/42


Timeline: Then and Now

SAP Year Business Intelligence

Initial implementation on release 3.1H forHR/PY. Reporting restricted to SAP reporttool and customized ABAP

1998Nothing structured at the time of

implementation

Upgrade to 3.1I, SD and FI functionality was

added. The need for a more robust reportingtool was identified. Current ABAP reportingsolutions were seen as expensive and time-consuming

1999 -

2000

Pilot programs w ith several vendors. Key

factors in decision process:1) must be able to run against SAP R/ 3,Oracle, and other data sources, and 2)ease of use.

System was upgraded to release 4.6.C,rollout of FI/CO/MM/PP. Reporting via ABAP

was limited as Crystal Reports was leveraged

2001Selected Crystal Decisions (now BusinessObjects) w ith new SAP reports developed

and deployed against HR, SD, MM, and PP

Minor modifications to SAP. Converted 70+ABAP reports in SD/MM/HR area to Crystal. 2003

Upgrade to release Crystal Enterprise 10and new SAP Integration Kit

Technical upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 (ECC6)and deployment of BW 7.0 for financial data.Majority of non-financial R/3 reporting donewith Crystal.

2007 -

2008

Configured BOE XIR2 to start leveragingBO presentation reporting capabilitiesagainst BW data, continuing to supportexisting 300+ R/ 3 reports

Future development of additional BW models

that will result in reports using BusinessObjects tools and SAP 2008

Defining reporting requirements to utilize

BO presentation capabilities for BWFinancial reporting

Minor modifications to SAP.2006

Upgraded to Business Objects EnterpriseXIR2, SAP XI Integration Kit


30/42


Where we are going

Continue to support traditional ERP (R/3) operational(transactional) reports using an establishedBusiness Objects toolset and delivery methodology

Leverage Business Objects to create interactive KeyPerformance Indicator (KPI) and Dashboardreporting against ERP and BW architectures

supplementing traditional SAP reporting options

Exploit the reporting potential of our recent NW 7.0implementation by utilizing the new Business Objects

software to identify, analyze, and highlight historicaltrends to reinforce and influence forward-thinkingcorporate strategies

What the Business Objects


31/42


What the Business Objectsacquisition means to us

It validated our decision to select Business Objectsas our reporting tool of choice for SAP and non-SAP

data

Expect a tighter integration of Business Objectsfunctionality with the NetWeaver BI/BW user in mind

Engaging traditional SAP report users to interactwith their information in a whole new way
