Program Agenda 1 Introduction, Eric Maikranz, Oracle Upgrade Experience, Rob Krauter, MDC Holdings Upgrade Experience, Beth Zuke, Amway Upgrade Experience, Matt Patee, ABM Industries Q & A 2 3 4 5

MDC Holdings, Inc. 9.1.3.4 Tools Upgrade

Richmond American Homes HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation American Home Insurance Agency American Home Title and Escrow Company 15 Divisions in 14 States Colorado Southern California Denver Phoenix Colorado Springs Tucson Florida Utah Jacksonville Virginia Orlando South Florida Pennsylvania Maryland New Jersey Nevada Delaware Northern California Washington

Modules Used Finance Homebuilder 950 users total AP, AR, GL, FA Procurement \ Subcontracts Inventory Management Contract\Service Billing Job Cost Customized Order Management \ Sales Homecare Work Orders Service \ Case Management 950 users total About 200 simultaneous

Completed Nationwide Rollout of E1 9.0 (8/1/13) Technology Completed Nationwide Rollout of E1 9.0 (8/1/13) Extensive use of Embedded BI Publisher SOA \ BSSV Interfaces for: Construction Management HR\PR Loan Origination CRM Website From 8.98.4.2 to 9.1.3.4

Why Upgrade? Better User Experience E1 Pages Breadcrumb Trail Carousel Work with Jobs \ Recent Reports Improvements Better Management of Favorites Advanced Queries Supportability Performance Chrome Browser Better support for Mobility iPad App Mobility Apps

Project Plan Sandbox (11/13) Moved to Development 1/30/14 Developed UPK training materials for navigation and net change. Reworked all UPK content in 9.1 tools environment for look and feel changes. Moved to Development 1/30/14 Development Freeze put in place until Production Developed E1 Pages Developed Change Management Process for E1 Pages Tested E1 Pages Applied Pre-Req ESU's to PY on 2/27/14 and Completed DV Special instructions - Caused Issues Moved completely to PY on 3/13/14 Trained help desk on common issues expected (ActiveX controls, E1 Pages, Navigation) Resolved issues caused by pre-req ESU's - see below. Targeted Go live on 3/10/14 in PD - Actual Go Live was 3/20/14 due to Month End Close

Tested pages in Sandbox, DV and PY before going to PD. E1 Pages Created over 40 pages Tested pages in Sandbox, DV and PY before going to PD. Created new change management process for E1 Pages Everything is on a menu….not everything is on a page. Use of Visio diagram to provide layouts Collapsible Menus Elected to use Task ID instead of Program ID to simplify Did not use process flow layout because of many roles Delegation of .dat file maintenance vs promotion and changes. Storing the latest file in SVN (Change management system)

Lessons Learned Need to review MTR’s that impact SOA and BSSV sooner. 2 Weeks unplanned for retrofitting. More extensive testing of Pre-req ESU's When applied to DV, impact to Production occurred due to existence of new tables. Difference in Security Behavior caused kernels to drop off line and crashing batch server. DD merges overwrote Prod DD custom headings and added records to F9202. Better testing of security. E1 Pages didn’t work without role hierarchy enabled More extensive Media Object Testing. Found individual applications that no longer functioned properly with the Attachments tab when disabling ActiveX Controls for Chrome Support.

Best Practices – Governance Model Executive Steering Committee: Made up of a cross-section of executives representing each of our business segments and corporate departments Provided support for use of business resources and key decisions such as go-live timing Program Partners: Nominated by our Executive Steering Committee, these program partners were key leaders that represented their respective business unit on the project Empowered by their executives to drive for quality Project Management: Co-Managed with internal IT Project Manager and a Project Manager from our 3rd party partner, CSS Leveraged ABM’s existing Project Management Methodology and systems, supplemented with best practices and upgrade management tools offered by CSS

Best Practices – Robust Testing Testing Approach: Unit / Integrated Testing Mock Conversions Conference Room Pilots Post-Promotion Testing CRP2, By The Numbers: 143 Testers 4 Regional Test Hubs ~3500 Test Cases 5 mock conversions 3 CRPs (leveraging a hub approach, NY, GA, TX, CA) CRP2 included more than 3500 test scripts Post promotion testing 2/17 2/24 3/3 3/10 3/17 3/24 3/31 4/7 4/14 4/21 4/28 On site Testing Fix, repair, retest On site Testing Fix, repair, retest On site Testing Fix, repair, retest CRP 1 Scope - Firm JDE only No integration CRP 2 Full end-to-end Full integration CRP 3 Scope – Flexible Could be full end-to-end or targeted and will depend on output from CRP 1 & 2

Best Practices – Resources ABM IT Contractor Significantly lower cost Less time to ramp-up / ramp-down resources Improved retention of domain knowledge Allows us to take on more projects in parallel Leverages expertise / experience with 8.12 to 9.1 Enables us to scale resources up and down throughout the project Limits our ability to take on other projects in parallel With significant resources dedicated to maintenance and support, we have limited bandwidth to support the upgrade Significantly higher cost Longer-term engagement to address ongoing support Less “skin in the game” Pros Cons Options When we looked at staffing for the upgrade, we looked deeply at benefits and costs associated with levering internal resources vs. contract resources and knew it wasn’t an either / or situation, rather our goal was to find the right mix of resources. We ultimately leveraged nearly all of our internal resources and supplemented with contract resources from our partner, CSS. This enabled us to balance our desire keep costs down, leverage our in-house expertise and retain domain knowledge gained during the upgrade… with the high-demands for taking on more projects, and desire to be able to flex resources up and down based on early discovery work I believe this is one of the largest contributing factors to our success The key was to find the “sweet spot” between the use of internal and strong external partners Our success was a direct result of: ABM’s highly-skilled ERP professionals Strong partnership with CSS Dedication of our business leaders and users

Results Project Success: Completed scope On time Within budget Zero unplanned downtime No significant defects found post go-live No compromise to data / functionality Long-Term Success: New and improved partnerships Leveraging best-practices for future initiatives
