2 Usually, we show this slide because we’re about to make forward-looking statements. In this session, it’s a little different. We’re going to talk about how some customers configure our software to improve sales efficiency for their businesses. CPQ is infinitely configurable and I do not want to give you the impression that everything we show in this session is directly OOTB—some of it requires implementation. This is a Safe Harbor Front slide, one of two Safe Harbor Statement slides included in this template. One of the Safe Harbor slides must be used if your presentation covers material affected by Oracle’s Revenue Recognition Policy To learn more about this policy, For internal communication, Safe Harbor Statements are not required. However, there is an applicable disclaimer (Exhibit E) that should be used, found in the Oracle Revenue Recognition Policy for Future Product Communications. Copy and paste this link into a web browser, to find out more information.   For all external communications such as press release, roadmaps, PowerPoint presentations, Safe Harbor Statements are required. You can refer to the link mentioned above to find out additional information/disclaimers required depending on your audience. Confidential – Oracle Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted

Partner Relationship Management Sales Force Automation Sales Performance Management Adaptive Intelligence SMARTER CX In the next 42 minutes, we’re going to concentrate on one piece of this in particular, CPQ. Whether customers interact with your company and products via direct sales, a partner channel, service reps in call centers or customer self-service--the rubber meets the road when it comes to finding the right solution for your customer’s problem. This is where CPQ comes in Customer Data Management Configure, Price, Quote Omni-Channel Service Customer Self-Service

5 Q P Configure Price Quote C What is CPQ? + - = X
What is CPQ? Well, let’s walk through it. The “C” is for configuration. This is where the magic happens. In CPQ, we offer a host of tools you can use to help your salesperson, channel partner, or call center rep, identify the best right combination of products and services to meet the customer’s needs. The P ensures that the price of those products and services is accurate. And the Q generates a professional, branded proposal that describes the solution, or whatever documentation is required to get the deal done. Transition: in the next 40 minutes, we’re going to concentrate on the “C”, configuration. Price PRICE & QUOTE PRESENT & PROPOSE Quote C SELECT & CONFIGURE ORDER & FULFILL REPORT & ANALYZE

10 Configuration UI Continuum
Wander & Select Learn Validate Discover Give the user the ability to quickly valdate their selections graphically. Depending on your business, this can be done with an image that changes with selections…….sizing graphs…..or, if you do not sell tangible products, you might have to get a bit more representational.—as Sanjay will show in a minute.

11 Configuration UI Continuum
Wander & Select Learn Validate Discover Discovery—allowing your user to interact with your products is the ultimate. For an example, I borrow from our partners at KB Max. 3D visualization with explosion, ability to manipulate all axes. Wow factor, but also enables the user to discover more about the product. With this short explanation of the configuration continuum, I hope you got a few ideas that are applicable to your business. And I’d like to introduce Sanjay Hoskeri from Move.com, where they took another approach to helping their users understand available product, and configuration.
