Positioning in a Mind
 You see what you expect to see
– Past conditioning
 Build a leadership position in the prospect’s terms
– NOT YOUR terms!!!
 Change dethrones leaders
– So, if you are not a leader, look for the hole
 Don’t trick the prospect, build trust
www.SierraSystems.com
The Internet’s Impact on Industries
Because the Internet allows assisted self-help, it affects industries
where self-help was not an option before — like brokerage

Positioning in the Deeper Forest
 Do it the “Amazon way”
– have a button on every page searched
– whether relevant or not
 Tune the features to fit the search routines
– yeild a high level of returns for searches
– provide a repetitive recognition of name
 Structure the features to mirror the the touchpoints of
the complimentary community
– regular association with supportive businesses
– eCommunity - A Group of Common Interest
www.SierraSystems.com
Benefits of Integrating with your
eCommunity
 Example: BP Amoco (BP Chemicals)
– 7 million tons of production per year
– Manual collating of information from shipping brokers
– Implemented an Extranet linking brokers, BP units and
customers globally
– Resulted in a flexible system requiring minimal resources
– Global tracking efficiency
www.SierraSystems.com
Expectations of the Prospect
 Target your sector
– move from the local to the global view
 Once you have the interest
– don’t let go
– continue to build trust
– perform in your prospect’s terms
 People want instant reliable information
 Your Value Chain becomes your delivery key

Innovations in Closing the Sale:
FreeMarkets
Source: FreeMarkets
Procurement
 Goal: most cost-effective management of procurement activities
 Situation: “When did you order it… ?”
– Procurement inundated with paper
– 70% of orders high-volume, low-dollar items (comprise only 3% of
accounts payable)
 Challenge: an intranet application to provide “one-stop shopping”
– Automated ordering & tracking, strategic procurement partner interface,
online hiring of outsourced services
www.SierraSystems.com
Solution: MS Market
 Online ordering and resources
– Order office goods, locate approved vendors, initiate purchase
orders, track vendor payments, and submit expenses
 Automatic transaction approvals
– Electronically routed, sent to approving authority when required
 Web app built on Microsoft platform
– Server: Windows NT & BackOffice Products (IIS, SQL Server, Site
Server Enterprise )
– Client: Windows NT Workstation (32-bit OS), Microsoft Office,
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
www.SierraSystems.com

www.SierraSystems.com
Savings
 P.O. Costs reduced from $60/per to $5/per (saved 30
minutes/order by automating data entry)
 Requisition to P.O. time reduced from 2 weeks to 8 minutes
 $1.6M/yr in CP staff redeployment (12 FTEs)
 $4-6M in additional supplier price and payment discounts
 On track for 5-10% decrease in ~$2B/yr spend
 Scalability
 Time savings for employees
www.SierraSystems.com
Information Fragmentation
 On average, business information resides in 7 systems

communicated well with the value chain.

E-Business Application Strategies

Buy vs. Build-&-Integrate, Buy and Build-&-Integrate
Loosely coupled plug ‘n’ play
–

Whether business units or companies
Customer-centered business process innovation
New and rapidly evolving business processes
Stick to the knitting…specialize in core competency
Form and break business relationships rapidly
Powerful content aggregator as central mover, vs. federated association of more
equal players
All require more flexible, business process-driven application
solutions, that can be sliced and diced in many ways

Lessons Learned
 BPR and outsourcing essential
– Senior management involvement
 Project successful because of teamwork
– Business, IT, consultant/vendor
– BUT, production support group wasn’t involved early enough
 Must design for all workflow exceptions
–
–
–
–
Some steps/issues left out of the process
Involve users in acceptance testing early on
Talk to workers, not just management
Dig deeper, longer

Lessons Learned
• Look for integration points
- Workflow, E-Forms, Output
- Legacy renewal and workflow
• Hire necessary skills and experience
- Web development
- Client/Server
• Do not develop “homegrown” workflow within applications
- “workflow is at the heart of e-business”
• Deploy slowly (pilots & phased implementation)
• Involve business partners at the beginning
• Focus on bandwidth and security issues
