SAP for Banking gives CBA the freedom to deliver transac- tions, products, and services – anytime, anywhere. Wider reach CBA is Australia’s number-one provider of integrated financial services. To maintain that lead, CBA stays incredibly close to each of its customers every day. It does that with the largest financial services distri- bution network in the country. And thanks to the national rollout of the new deposit account functionality, CBA delivers the most points of access of any of the bank’s nearest competitors. Greater speed To keep its network moving and growing, CBA runs it across an incredibly powerful SAP core banking platform. SAP for Banking, SAP Deposits Management, and – in the near future – SAP Loans Manage- ment applications help keep transactions flowing quickly, safely, and securely. And that helps CBA stay connected to each of its customers – wherever they happen to be.

The SAP Custom Development team helped eBay Inc. integrate PayPal into its SAP ERP Financials application. Now, eBay Inc. pays its bills faster than you can say “the check’s in the mail.” Global transactions Founded in 1995, eBay Inc. is a global e-commerce and payments leader. Its flagship brand is eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace, where practically anyone can buy or sell practically anything at any time. In 2002, the company acquired PayPal, which is the leader in global online payments. With PayPal, any person or business can securely, quickly, and easily send and receive payments using just an e-mail address. Faster payments As it turns out, what’s good for eBay Inc.’s customers is also great for eBay Inc. That’s why the company decided to pay its own suppliers using PayPal. And it asked SAP to help make it happen. The SAP Custom Development team helped eBay to be both agile and innovative by adding PayPal as a new payment type within its existing SAP ERP Financials application. Up and running in six weeks, it allows the company to pay any invoice in a second. Now, eBay Inc. enjoys more early payment discounts and lower transaction costs. And for eBay Inc. vendors, there’s no longer a check in the mail – just money in the bank.

SAP Business ByDesign helps the young start-up tame its business transactions, supply chain, and finances to keep profits flowing. Explosive growth Sambazon makes delicious, organic superfood products using unique blends of Brazilian fruits and botani- cals including açaí, a palm fruit from the Amazon rain forest. The rapidly growing company is just over 10 years old. But it already sells its delicious juices, sorbets, and frozen smoothie packs in 10,000 health- food stores, grocery stores, and juice bars across the United States. Sustainable business To cut business risk, boost product procurement, and ensure product availability, Sambazon runs SAP Business ByDesign. It helps Sambazon increase transparency and streamline its business operations. And with its first bottom line under control, Sambazon is now free to focus on the triple bottom line: Providing over 10,000 local family farmers with an economic alternative to logging – and protecting 6,769 km2 of Amazon rain forest. Learn more: www.sapannualreport.com/2010/en/sambazon 6 Best-Run Businesses Sambazon 7 RUN LEANER After its successful transformation into an integrated, publicly traded upstream and downstream oil and gas company, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) needed to unify its far-flung internal processes under a single roof. SAP gives Sinopec a unified overview of its domestic and export trading operations – and a global perspective for its business. Better oversight With 300,000 employees, Sinopec is one of China’s largest energy companies. The petrochemical giant touches every point along the oil and gas supply chain – from exploration and development to sales and distribution. Since Sinopec restructured and became a publicly traded company, it has climbed from number 23 on the Fortune 500 rankings in 2006 to number 7 in 2010. Best practices SAP ERP applications and business intelligence software are helping reshape Sinopec into an industry leader. Thanks to standardized business processes and better management visibility, it is achieving operational excellence. And that means that the company’s business information, like oil and gas, can flow full speed ahead.

SAP CRM 7.0 gives WMF deeper insights and better business pro- cesses to do just that. Sharper insights Founded in 1853, WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik AG) is a legendary German manufacturer and designer of precision cutlery, cookware, tableware, and coffee machines. With 6,000 employees and a turnover of €900 million, the company’s branded products are revered worldwide for their superior design, quality, and function. Faster results WMF is a master at bringing innovation into the world’s kitchens and dining rooms. And with SAP CRM 7.0, the company is maintaining a clear competitive advantage. That is because SAP applications give WMF a more consistent view of customers and better business processes. Taken together, they give WMF the necessary insight to create incredibly personalized customer experiences. And that’s a recipe for global success.

We decided to concentrate on delivering superior value to our customers and we refocused our strategy on innovation. We started with an ambitious vision: to make the world run better. We then centered everything on our mission to make our customers best-run businesses. This strategy allows us to both strengthen leadership in our traditional business and to double our addressable market by investing in new innovations that will change the game for our customers. As we look back at 2010, our efforts to refine and accelerate our strategy, combined with excellent execution, produced solid results – capped off by our best fourth quarter ever. We saw broad-based, double-digit increases in software and software-related service (SSRS) revenue in all regions. High growth markets, the BRIC countries in particular, saw 70 % year-over-year gains in software revenue. Full-year non-IFRS SSRS revenue increased appro- ximately 20 % (13 % at constant currencies) and exceeded our company guidance. We added 15,000 new custom- ers during the year, including 5,800 small and midsize companies. Just as important, we met our guidance for full year 2010 non-IFRS operating margin at constant currencies. Our innovation strategy includes a focus on new game-changing technologies such as in-memory computing, mobile computing, and cloud computing. We delivered important innovations in all three categories.

  • Conversational Advertising?
    What is Conversational Advertising? Conversational Advertising A report from commissioned by 1 Conversational Advertising June 2010 Conversational Advertising What is Conversational Advertising? What is Conversational Advertising? Conversational Advertising is the agreed messaging-based communication between the consumer and a brand to deliver consumer benefits to the consumer. Conversational Advertising capitalizes on the opted-in database developed by the brand to establish an ongoing relationship with the consumer. In doing so, the concept evolves beyond the traditional campaign ideology that has become the cornerstone of advertising. Campaigns, by their very nature, represent an occasional touch-point with the consumer, and therefore are limited in their ability to encourage the ongoing interaction and engagement that brands desire. As the name suggests, Conversational Advertising introduces a discursive element to what has been until now, a largely time-restricted engagement opportunity during a campaign. In the digital age, engagement is critical. Once a consumer has opted in and become engaged, it then becomes counterintuitive to send an occasional communication. The effectiveness of the opt-in model is to maintain that relationship between the brand and the consumer, measured by the Cost Per Engagement (CPE). An engaged consumer also represents a higher response rate. By generating an opt-in database, the likelihood of developing a response from a consumer into a conversation increases dramatically. Conversational Advertising addresses the existing messaging practices which are fleeting and largely ineffective beyond the realms of the campaign. By encouraging the brand to regularly communicate with the consumer this ensures that it remains “front of mind”. In effect, Conversational Advertising will have the impact of a web site – a constant in the view of the consumer – whilst providing user data on three levels.

The one area that we feel is certain to gain momentum and have a huge impact on how the mobile industry develops in 2014 is the number of brands that we will see moving from the sidelines and fully into the game. The impact of this will be seen both in the gains in mobile spend as brands move away from the 1% average that we’ve been seeing and start moving towards 10-15% mobile spend with increased ROIs as a result. We will also start to see how mobile is driving both innovation in marketing and transformation of business. As always, the MMA will be providing support and guidance for the entire industry, shining a light on inspiration, capability development, measurement and advocacy allowing all constituents to continue building their businesses, with mobile at its core. We look forward to supporting you and the industry. I wish you much success in 2014.

  • Access Channels for Mobile Banking Applications – a Comparative Study Based on Characteristics
    K( ACCESS CHANNELS FOR MOBILE BANKING APPLICATIONS – A COMPARATIVE STUDY BASED ON CHARACTERISTICS by FREDDIE SCHWENKE Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Information Technology in the Faculty of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Supervisor: Prof M Weideman Co-supervisor: Mr J Janse van Rensburg Cape Town July 2009 DECLARATION I, Freddie Schwenke, declare that the content of this thesis represents my own unaided work, and that the thesis has not previously been submitted for academic examination towards any qualification. Furthermore, it represents my own opinions and not necessarily those of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Signed Date ii ABSTRACT The objective of this research project was to provide an answer to the question: “Which access channel is the most appropriate for mobile banking applications?” This question is posed by providers of mobile banking services and providers of mobile banking applications alike. In order to provide an answer, a literature survey was conducted to determine which access channels are available to mobile banking applications and which characteristics should be measured to determine the appropriateness of each of these access channels. It was determined that there are a number of access channels available to mobile applications. Not all of these are applicable to mobile banking applications, due to the nature of the underlying technologies. In order to measure characteristics of the access channels a selection of the available channels was made. This selection was first based on the applicability of the channel on mobile banking applications, and thereafter on the availability of the channel in a commercial or test environment.

  • Rhythm Powers TV Ads on Cellphones
    July 5, 2007 TV Ads Find Spot on Tiny Screens Europe Leads Way As Cellphones Allow For Better Targeting By AARON O. PATRICK July 5, 2007; Page B4 LONDON -- Television ads are coming to the smallest screen. Cellphone companies have been talking about selling marketers space to run their TV ads on cellphones for years. In Europe, it is finally happening, and more phone companies are preparing to jump in. The four million customers of one of Britain's big mobile networks, 3, a unit of Hutchison Whampoa, began seeing free news, sports and entertainment videos a few months ago. The 3 service is different from other attempts to put TV on phones because its short video clips are free and paid for entirely by advertisers. Other phone companies offer television channels for an extra charge. On 3, each video clip includes a 30-second ad at the start and end. The clips include news reports from ITN, a British news agency; sports highlights, and short celebrity features. A two-minute report about Paris Hilton leaving jail featured ads for Cisco Systems computers, for example. The ads that appear on 3 cellphones are television ads, only smaller -- and, for marketers, are more expensive based on the audience size. The cellphone service charges marketers £70, or roughly $141, for every 1,000 cellphone viewers who see an ad, compared with £10 for every 1,000 TV viewers, the average price on Britain's TV channels, says Ujjal Kohli, chief executive of Rhythm NewMedia, a small company in Mountain View, Calif., that runs the service for 3 and splits the advertising revenue with the carrier.
