Critical Success Factors Based on our experience and the objectives for this project the following factors will be critical to the success of this initiative: ? Executive sponsorship ? Experience implementing large scale enterprise applications including Oracle, PeopleSoft and Ariba ? A detailed understanding of Merrill Lynch’s Oracle Financials and Purchasing implementations ? A thorough understanding of Merrill Lynch’s requisitioning and procurement processes ? An understanding of the Merrill Lynch business culture, organization structure and business user munity ? Strong project management skills through implementation and business user acceptance ? Experience with eProcurement and strategic sourcing implementation and best practices ? Ability to surface and resolve issues as they are identified in a timely manner ? Strong program management 10 PROPRIETARY and CONFIDENTIAL: Not for use or disclosure outside of Merrill Lynch except by written agreement. Assumptions ? The Ariba eProcurement system will be selected during the CRP. If Oracle is chosen, the approach and timeline will be modified and presented to Merrill Lynch. ? The results of the CRP will provide detailed confirmation of the business rules and workflow to be implemented. ? The results of the Conference Room Pilot (CRP) currently being conducted by Merrill Lynch will be provided to Arthur Andersen. ? Merrill Lynch personnel will setup and support the technical environment and will be responsible for obtaining the chosen software and hardware prior to our engagement. ? We will implement one set of enterprise business rules per major modity group as confirmed in the CRP. ? During the analysis and design, it will be determined whether user information can be obtained from Oracle Financials () instead of PeopleSoft HRMS. ? The system will integrate with one instance of Oracle Financials () and the PeopleSoft HRMS system (if necessary). The proposed approach, anticipated timeline and estimated resources are based on the following assumptions: 11 PROPRIETARY and CONFIDENTIAL: Not for use or disclosure outside of Merrill Lynch except by written agreement.

Merrill Lynch will be responsible for the training required in support of the enterprise rollout to the 7,000 NY/NJ users. 12 PROPRIETARY and CONFIDENTIAL: Not for use or disclosure outside of Merrill Lynch except by written agreement.
