Slide 14 Service trend People do not want a fragmented view of (customers/partners/suppliers) from different heterogeneous systems (ERP, CRM, B2B, B2C, SCM, Call Center…) People want adaptable solutions to their business needs People want customization and services to integrate components, commercial and open source (the best mix) People cant accept (anymore) to give it all to a sole IT vendor: budgets are tight, cost cutting, strategic independence, negotiating leverage, plus… it does not work with just 1 supplier !

Slide 16 Open Standards versus Open Source Distinguishing Open Standards and Open Source People demand Open standards in order to: guarantee information perenity Interoperability avoid vendor lock in maintain low costs Open Standards: Formal bodies, international, industry consensus W3C, CEN, ETSI, ISO, IETF, IEEE, … Outcome : royalty – free consensus specifications, prototype demonstration

Slide 17 Open Standards versus Open Source Open Source: Informal initiatives. Sometimes solid industry backing. Main successes: Apache, Linux, Open Office, JBoss, MySQL, Eclipse… Business model (if any): Give source, sell service Joint development saves R&D costs Generate goodwill/marketing image by contributing

Slide 18 Benefits from Open Source Overall Benefit to Industry Open Source complements Open Standards Network effect from rapid dissemination of new technology Build consensus on best practices Commodity infrastructure allows companies to focus on their areas of real expertise and differentiation Benefits to Software AG (Services) Build flexible & more competitive solutions Customers demand Lower cost of products -> increase sales of services Benefits to Software AG (R&D) Benchmark our products vis à vis Open Source products Contribute -> get support from developers
