4. A SHORT HISTORY OF DISRUPTION
1950s 1972 1998 1990s 1998 2010
5. ⢠IT resources perpetually in
very short supply

even touch

and standards emerge
New Paradigm for
Solution Delivery
HOW THE CLOUD STEPPED UP
7. HOW THE CLOUD STEPPED UP
WHAT IS THE PRESENT REALITY
OF ERP?
Put the ERP in somebody else's data center?
⢠Kind of misses the point. It is not about where the
iron sits.
Buy up all the Cloud Innovators and turn them into low
and slow ERP and try to save the old revenue model?
⢠âWe bought these agile high growth Cloud
companies and handed them to the guys who
couldnât grow our ERP business. Hmm.â
Invent another database?
⢠Not so muchâŚ
ERP is facing the Polaroid Syndrome
⢠Expensive gooey peel apart film that was so cool
last year is looking at a tsunami of cheap easy digital
cameras
8. ERP like the main frame is not going
away and for good reason
⢠ERP is the hub that holds the business
together
⢠ERP that is open and welcomes external
innovation will drive HUGE value for the
business and earn itâs keep
⢠ERP is the core platform. ERP MUST
serve the business and not see itâs role as
being served by the business
⢠ERP must embrace and facilitate Open
Integration. The gate keeper days are over.
⢠ERP must embrace and champion
standards
WHAT COULD THE FUTURE HOLD?
9. Gartner also made the following ERP
predictions:
⢠By 2017, 70 percent of organizations adopting hybrid ERP will fail to
improve cost-benefit outcomes unless their cloud applications provide
differentiating functionality.
⢠By 2018, at least 30 percent of service-centric companies will move
the majority of their ERP applications to the cloud.

13. True Cloud
âş Rapid Innovation: Frequent release
cycles
âş Business owns the system and the
ability change configurations
âş Platform maintenance handled by
Coupa
âş Low TCO - Self-sustainable model
where services are optional
âş Downtime less than 10 minutes per
month
Fake Cloud â Others
âş Slow release cycles, no innovation
âş Developers own the system and are
required to code customizations
âş Expensive customizations approach
=> locks you in and you canât upgrade
âş High TCO - Not self-sustainable,
ongoing services are required
âş System outages frequent â watch for
vendors that donât publish public
uptime records

The cloud has forever transformed the way business is done in the modern age. As companies look to the cloud to extend the value of their ERP investments and consolidate systems, questions on cloud security, hosting, scalability and integration strategy are often front and center. Learn how the Coupa cloud quickly delivers business value and agility with decreased risk for companies around the world.

Building new products is an art and science no doubt. The framework  we follow religiously at Coupa entails a constant balance of 3 key forces: 1) Customers, 2) Market and 3) Innovation.
1) As we work with you, we're constantly listening and prioritizing requirements to ensure focus on use cases with the broadest applicability and biggest impact across the customer base. We use lots of different tools and channels to do this, such as focus groups or monitoring top voted requests on the feature request forum.
2) We also stay on top of market trends,, listen to industry analysts who are actively researching the market, as we seek to strengthen our position as the leader in cloud spend optimization
3) Innovation: and solving these is fueled with innovation. This comes down to the design led approach we take to solving problems, and employing technology appropriately to solve them elegantly. Innovation also comes from reaping the benefits of a true cloud platform. We analyze usage and spend patterns and can constantly drive innovations based on these real insights .
By keeping that focus on balancing these 3 forces, we'll continue to create with you the type of real results this whole conference is a demonstration of.
Coupa Cloud ensures global coverage with fully redundant infrastructure in geographically dispersed World Class Data Centers
Coupa is a cloud based service hosted by Amazon Web Services with 12 data centers in four geographies â Virginia, California, Ireland and Singapore.
US customers are hosted on the US East (N. Virginia) data center, and we use US WEST centers (N. California and Oregon) as DR sites
RIGHT
Process driven Integration with integrations supporting the process.
Do the right integrations that provide the best value to the process.
LIGHT
Use integrations when appropriate, look into process and data requirements before you determine if an integration is needed.
Prioritize and automate in a phased approach.
Coupa platform exposes itself through industry standard protocols and data formats
REST based API with XML Data Formats
SFTP based Integration with CSV Data Formats
This allows Coupa partners and customers to utilize the Standard APIs and Formats to build connectivity model to ERPs and other 3rd party applications. This open integration model allows for Coupa to connect to any system for standard usecases within the P2P business space.
Â
For every common business object (PR, PO, Invoice, Expense Report, Supplier and more) that you can work with in Coupa using the user interface, you have an API to perform the CRUD / business functions.

Coupaâs Integration Approach is sync with its Cloud deployment model philosophy. We are not a connector development shop. Neither the industry nor does Coupa believe in point to point connectivity models.
Our extensible integration models are based on the foundation of sharing common data formats that are required by systems that our customers need Coupa to integrate with. Coupaâs investment will be in our Core platform to extend native capabilities to provide support for more data formats. This model helps Coupaâs customers easily integrate with Coupa with data formats that are more native to their ERP.
Coupa has built into its platform a any to any data translation engine that allows up to support with ease an ERP Format â For SAP, it is XML IDoc
Coupa can consume and produce in native XML IDoc formats all data objects that will be required within a P2P business process. Coupa can also extend the mapping of the standard XML IDoc data formats for extensions to SAP made by our customer.
Taking the same philosophy and approach as with XML IDocs for our SAP customers, we have developed âCoupa CSV formats for ORACLEâ for our ORACLE customers.
With all our ORACLE EBS customers using âInterface Tablesâ as a mechanism to take data to ORACLE âBase Tablesâ, we have prebuilt formats and scripts to produce and consume data in a format that is more native to ORACLE customers.
A different market segment of customers, Coupaâs approach is similar and true to our principles
Continue to use Coupa standard APIs but have gone one step ahead in our integration model to use NetSuite Integration Platform and build connectivity model from NetSuite to Coupa using NetSuite Standard Platform and Coupa standard API. Great fit for this market segment and the biggest differentiator.
