3. Our challenge/situation
Being global a number of challenges arise as to cost containment and
effective use of employees time – both executives and others. At the same
time we were embarking on a multi-year global SAP implementation
• Daily business challenges
– Drive a greater level of collaboration (leverage our global scale)
– Time utilization/optimization
– Value for time – most out of meetings/calls
– Cost of travel – local and global (CEU is an example)
– Lean – drive overhead costs out while growing the business
• One McCain (SAP implementation)
– Global teams – how to connect them with value
– Cost containment – everyone wants to be beside each other

4. How we operated (the past)
Takes too long to get the
point across – Ping Pong
Just takes too long
Year over Year cost
Increases It’s just a conversation – are
they really listening
Even worse then email – did
Very impersonal – no they not get rid of these?
emotional factor
#CiscoPlusCA
5. The Business Challenge
Leverage our business scale
Grow Innovation – drive new product development
Instill a “collaborative” environment
Create a “sense of being” part of it
Look at enablers to drive the business
Remove the need for planes, trains and automobiles
Optimize everyone's’ time – give them time back
#CiscoPlusCA
6. Business Transformation - the SAP Challenge
• Launching a 4 year, global business transformation project
• Single instance, single global template
• Common, simple, global business practices
• The Challenge:
– Core team from every part of our business – globally (the best)
– Integration partner – heavy offshore resource pool
– No need for a central office – fly everyone in
– Goal – under budget, under plan and early with minimal defects

10. Video – the journey
• A phased approach was taken
– Cisco was still maturing the solution set
– Acquisitions were in the making (Tandberg)
– McCain was still too immature for leveraging video (we were starting)
• The phases
– (I) TelePresence in all major centers to support the One McCain program
– (II) WebEx as a collaboration tool and multi-point video (the cheap way
to video connect)
– (III) Video at the desk – executives only (9971’s)
– (IV) Multi-point to TelePresence connections (internal)
– (V) External multi-point to any point within McCain
– (VI) Jabber video at the desktop (everyone)

Global Corporate, Argentina,
SAP PMO – moving to Global
Australia, France, UK,

Executive desk/small
meeting room (EX 90) TelePresence/Video
At the office desk
(9971/Cius (execs))
Remote offices – medium
headcount (C20)
Remote offices –
more personal (C60)

15. Show me the money
These solutions are costly and need to drive enablers. We saw,
immediately some dramatic ROI/enabler returns to the business (outside of
the soft savings of time, collaboration efforts, etc.)
• Senior/Executive leadership team meetings (global)
– Global meetings are via TelePresence/Video except 2 x per year
– Weekly management meetings are via TelePresence/video
– Global team meetings are held via TelePresence/video (down from 4 per
year to 1 per year)
– Estimated savings $ 1.5-2.0 mil/year
• Business Transformation (SAP deployment)
– Original program travel estimates (total program – 4 yrs.)
• Integration Partner -> $ 9.6 mil. - Actual = 43% savings = $ 4.1 mil
