Revenue USD ~ $5B Deployment Location North America Industry Financial Services Products PCMCS, DRM Legacy Platform Planning Essbase PSGL Apptio Excel Partner Use Case Summary Vanguard needed to replace an excel based allocation solution that was too high-level with no accountability for resource usage. PCMCS was implemented, they are now seeing increased flexibility and reduced maintenance allowing them to leverage what if capabilities that were previously unattainable. PCMCS now enables each BU to understand their resource usage and overall impact on the P&L. Top Customer Objectives and Challenges • Vanguard needed greater context to facilitate decision making around capital allocations • Improved financial insight in-order to explain, trace and define the value delivered by business unit • Eliminate skewed results on investment spending • Create revenue adjustment analysis capability - to increase transparency of alternative results Results • The PCMCS model enables them to generate allocation results within PCMCS in under 20 minutes for Actuals scenario, and in under 40 minutes for 3 years of Forecast data • Can now run multiple daily cycles of allocations as forecast data is updated throughout the day • Full end-to-end automation with validation mechanisms enables the team to simply verify a set of standardized reports and quickly troubleshoot issues Key Benefits Achieved Increased allocation totals from 50% of revenue generating expenses to 100% across entire company Business Unit Accountability for Corporate Spending Faster Rule Development Ability to run Multiple Allocation Cycles per day High Systems Availability * PARTNER USE CASE * Partner Contact: Shereen Moubayed (BDM) Shereen.moubayed@alithya.com

- 31. Closing and Q&A
- 32. SELF-EVALUATION QUESTIONS > Does your company understand the true costs of its products or services? > Are costing models transparent enough? Can you easily trace back the assigned costs to the activities and line item expenses that drive them? > Do your costing methods operate at the right level of detail? > Are you satisfied that you are allocating shared services (e.g. IT/HR) accurately? > Are people spending too much time maintaining our costing models and other elements of our costing system? > Can people in your company quickly test how changes to commodity, input costs, lower or higher volumes will affect our profitability? > Are you getting answers from our costing systems fast enough to be actionable? Would reducing this process time improve our competitiveness or profitability? > Is all of the data that you need to understand true costs available in a single ERP system? If not, what are the initial and ongoing costs of integrating that data into your ERP system? 32
