FY09 - Our Global Travel Expense and Card ProgramsOur Discovery Process

• Regional programs, not aligned – creating global operational inefficiencies• No strategic strategy or vision – Not scalable solutions• Lack of support regionally to drive program change quickly – often stated

“regional complexity”• Difficulty of finding travel and expense information on our intranet and the

lack of defined travel, expense and card programs were driving non-compliance

• Lack of transparency in cost of travel and expense• Suppliers in control of SFDC spend in several areas – Hidden Fees and

driving our business to their preferred suppliers in some cases• Limited number of preferred suppliers - Limited economies of scale• Limited policy compliance in regions• Spend leakage across many categories• Travel, Card and Expense data not readily aligned on a global basis• Major gaps in travel, expense and card support services
