Go-to-Market Strategies
Targeting the right Customers 1. 1.install base up selling Sell APS solution to selected brand new customers. Targeting the right Industries 1. 1.High tech Industry(Discrete manufacturing) 2. 2.CPG 3. 3.Steel company Targeting the right products 1. 1.DP 2. 2.ASCP 3. 3.GOP Cultivating the right Partners 1. 1.Global partners 2. 2.Local partners Leveraging the right Resources 1. 1.SCM team members in GC 2. 2.GSS TEAM Building the right Reference 1. 1.To be identified
Targeting the right Customers 1.install base up selling. 2.Sell APS solution to selected brand new customers. WHY 1.One of the important factors contributing to the success of an APS implementation is the readiness of ERP data and management team mind-set. 2.Most of the new customers are not ready for APS in terms of data quality and ERP concept. 3.Even the new customer is ready, due to the tight go-live schedule, to reduce the risk of project, APS is often put into the second phase implementation. 4.Only when customer and partner are ready, can APS be sold and implemented at the first phase. HOW… 1.Review Oracle install base with Sales team and partner to identify right candidates to up-sell 2.Closely follow up implementing projects to help customer move to phase two implementation smoothly 3.Early involve in the sell cycle of selected accounts to enlarge the project scope
Leads and Opportunities Install base up selling – Jin Nan Steel – BMC(Sony Erisson) – GEM – GT Tire – UT Starcom – Midea cooker – Midea aircom – Zexsa – Ametron – SVA-NEC – Li Ming Brand New Customers – NEC – TTHM(Panasonic)
Targeting the right Industries 1.High tech Industry(Discrete manufacturing) 2.CPG 3.Steel company WHY 1.Oracle APS solution can address the SCM requirements of High Tech best and Oracle has most of the successful stories in this sector. Besides, the prospects in High tech are more ready for APS. 2.Oracle ASCP probably cannot meet the distribution and replenishment requirements of CPG very well. However, DP can be a powerful tool for CPG to manage their forecast 3.Capacity constraint is a big issue to Steel industry, Only ASCP can address capacity issue. HOW… 1.Work closely with MRD team to identify prospects 2.Introduce DP to CPG sales team to help them up sell or enlarge deal size 3.Work with Lin Feng to find out how to position APS in Steel industry
Targeting the right products 1.DP 2.ASCP 3.GOP WHY 1.Theses three products are most mature products in APS family. HOW… 1.Will focus on the promotion of these three products at the first year 2.A new member, production scheduling from peoplesoft, is also very demanding by the market. Will spent some time on looking into it in more detail
Cultivating the right Partners 1.Global partners 2.Local partners WHY 1.The support from Partners is the key factor to the success of the deployment of APS 2.Few partners has the APS implementation experience in China 3.Most of the partners are lack of product knowledge and capability of implementing APS HOW… 1.Working closely with selected partners on their exist customers to help them up sell APS and let them learn APS from a real project (This is the most effective way to learn APS) 2.Leverage global partners’ oversea resources (such as Infosys) to generate more deals 3.Partner training
Partners OCS, Taiwan– Implemented several ASCP projects in Taiwan Han Consultant—Implemented ASCP in Ji Nan Steel Hand Consultant—No experience on APS implementation. Promoted their own “APS” solution to some exist customers A bean– May implement ASCP and DP at the second phase of NEC Bearing Point—May implement ASCP for TTHM Infosys– Having APS oversea implementation experience. New comer in China market.
Leveraging the right Resources 1.SCM team members in GC 2.GSS TEAM WHY 1.APS may be the most complex product family in Oracle E Business Suite. This business plan cannot success without the help from the other experts. HOW… 1.Working closely with all the team members and experts to get the necessary help
Building the right Reference WHY 1.Building an APS reference customer in short time is crucial to promote APS in China market. HOW… 1.Watch over the current and feature APS projects closely to ensure the success of projects. 2.Generate more APS deals!!!!
Reference Candidates Panasonic---GOP To be built…..
Possible issues
Possible Issues Time allocation – Since every product lead is double-headed with product business development and industry sales support(eg, High tech), it is possible that spent most of the time on standard ERP opportunities if requirements flow in. – Thanks to the help from Leslie, the work load may be shared in the future. – Leverage more resources from partners – Manager can help to do the load balance Product complexity – APS is becoming more and more complex along with the new features evolved. Cannot handle every detail function by my own. – Need to spent more time on study products. Before, got short lead time to prepare a presentation or demo, do not have in-depth understanding of a lot of features. – Support from the other experts may required
Possible Issues Industry variability – APS can apply a lot of industries, cannot become an industry expert for every industry – Need help from industry expert when encounter some industry I am not familiar with Demo preparation – There is no Chinese DP environment in ADS. This will be an obstacle for the promotion DP to CPG prospects – Preparing an APS demo is very time consuming and frustrating cause you cannot foresee the output in some cases. Cannot do prototyping in every case. – DP is a product very technique orientated. Need someone knows Data warehousing to do the customization. May need help if case required. – Hope to leverage some experienced partners such OCS,Inforsys to build the demo when needed.
