When Big is Really Small 
The Dangers of Selecting a Cross-Industry Spend Solution 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 1
Today’s top energy executives recognize the huge value in 
effective third-party spend analysis… 
Millions in 
Cost Savings 
Operational 
Efficiencies 
Optimized 
SRM 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 2
…but often overlook the most important criteria when 
considering vendors 
!! 
! 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 3
Many variables seem important; others actually are important 
Total Spend Analyzed 
Number of Features 
Number of Rules 
Integration w/ Transactional Platforms vs Integration w/ Strategic Platforms 
Speed of Data Cleansing 
Energy Spend Analyzed 
Usability for Energy Professionals 
Energy-Specific Rules 
Quality of Data Cleansing 
vs 
vs 
vs 
vs 
Most Important! 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 4
And when executives prioritize the wrong variables, they end 
up with cross-industry solutions that pose meaningful risks 
Bad Data 
Inaccurate 
Reporting 
Millions in 
Lost Savings 
Total Spend Analyzed 
Number of Features 
Number of Rules 
Integration w/ Transactional Platforms 
Speed of Data Cleansing 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 5
But what makes cross-industry vendors so risky? 
Well, it’s pretty simple… 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 6
The things these 
companies buy… 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 7
…are VERY different from the 
things these companies buy 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 8
And… 
Different suppliers 
Different products 
Different services 
Different data 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 9
Plus, data from some industries is more complex 
Complexity of Spend Data High 
Low Data Complexity High 
Commodities Engineered products 
Basic services Highly-Technical Services 
Specialized vendors Vendors providing many 
products & services 
Centralized purchasing Distributed purchasing 
Products 
purchased 
Services 
purchased 
Suppliers 
Organization 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 10
Turns out, energy company data is especially complex 
Low Data Complexity High

Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 11
And we’re not talking about a small difference 
Vs. 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 12
Accurately classifying cryptic, energy-specific items like this 
requires highly specialized rules and schemas…

…which cross-industry vendors cannot profitably develop 
Complexity of Spend Data High 
Low DDaattaa CCoommpplleexxiittyy High 
Energy 
Consumer Goods 
Airlines 
Automobiles 
Beverages 
Fast Food 
= Cross-Industry Vendors’ Profitability Threshold 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 14
After all, items like this need to be decoded piece-by-piece, and 
even then – hundreds of permutations are possible

Now imagine this 1 transaction… 
7IN 26.00# 0.362W P-110 HC ERW R3 LTC-HYUNDAI-REG MIL(175 JT) 
…multiplied by millions 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 16
But if cross-industry vendors lack the assets and expertise 
to tackle energy data, how do they sell to energy firms? 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 17
They spend billions of dollars on sales & marketing… 
2013 Sales & Marketing Spend: 
$7.328 Billion 
2013 Sales & Marketing Spend: 
$5.164 Billion 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 18
…which they use to hold lavish parties and conferences…

Now let’s cover what happens when energy firms 
actually buy cross-industry spend solutions 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 24
They’re left with shocking (real-life) examples like this: 
Line Item: Cooling Tower Maintenance 
Supplier: Bunneys Inc. 
Price: $38,300,000 
Cross-Industry Vendor Classification: Correct Classification: 
HVAC Mechanical Construction Service 
Cooling Tower Maintenance 
✓ 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 25
…and many, many (real-life) examples like this: 
Line Item: Improvement Allowance 
Supplier: Red Hat Software 
Price: $3,200,000 
Cross-Industry Vendor Classification: Correct Classification: 
✓ 
Development Environment Software Real Estate 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 26
…which combine to form (real-life) categories like this: 
Cross-Industry Vendor Classification: Correct Classification: 
Chemicals 
Production Chemicals $2,641,910 
Painting and Coatings $1,487,143 
Nitrogen Services $443,150 
Not Chemicals

91% 
CHEMICALS, GENERAL 
$51.5M 
Pumps $10,088,197 
Motors $9,037,047 
Electric Submersible Pumping (ESP) Lift Services $3,704,851 
Variable Frequency Drives $3,165,546 
Pump Seals $3,034,483 
Drill Bits $2,691,688 
Valves $2,641,910 
Separators $1,487,143 
Wire and Cable $1,390,791 
Casing and Tubing Services $882,221 
Coil Tubing services $822,310 
Motor Maintenance $708,009 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 27
Their analysts spend days fulfilling simple requests… 
…and have no choice but to circulate incomplete reports 
? 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 28
Meanwhile, unactionable categories like this one… 
Portion that Wasn’t 
Actually Engineering 
Engineering Spend 
Misclassified Elsewhere 
Spend Classified 
as “Engineering” 
-$11M 
+$32.6 M 
$58.9 M 
…cost them millions in lost savings every year 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 29
But why listen to us? 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 30
Well, because when it comes to energy spend… 
$1.7+ Trillion 
Energy Spend 
Cleansed $320 Billion 
Energy Spend 
Cleansed 
“Largest” Cross-Industry 
Vendor in the World 
…we’re the big kids on the block 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 31
And, our industry focus allows us to do things 
that others simply can’t… 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 32
…like perfecting a rules engine that exclusively parses and 
classifies Power, Oil, and Gas data 
50+ engineers, analysts, developers Millions of energy-specific rules 
(an investment that isn’t cost-effective for cross-industry vendors) 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 33
Remember that line item example from earlier?

And just to be sure, our energy experts verify all classifications 
Raw Spend Data Rules Engine Expert Analyst Cleansed Data 
(cross-industry vendors often claim the whole process can be automated, 
but to achieve 98+% accuracy, human expertise is required) 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 36
Best of all, our industry focus allows us to conduct analyses 
that no one else can – like precise, per-unit benchmarking 
$2,000 
$1,600 
$1,200 
$800 
$400 
$0 
Pump Station $/HP 
6 pumps

4 pumps 
PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PS5 PS6 PS7 PS8 PS9 PS10 PS11 PS12 PS13 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 37
Still not convinced an energy-specific solution is the route to 
success? Let’s hear from some industry experts: 
Steps to Success for All Enterprises 
“To succeed at spend intelligence, it would help 
if you were to hook up…a solution provider that 
has familiarity with your industry” 
What to Look For in a Spend Analysis Solution 
“Experience in analyzing spend in your industry” 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 38
So what does all this mean for YOU? 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 39
It means you can expect things from us… 
…that you could never get from a cross-industry vendor… 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 40
…like no more time wasted on “data janitor work”… 
Clean Data 
Analyze 
…and no more anxiety over inaccurate reporting 
✓ 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 41
Plus, you’ll finally be able to manage all of your spend… 
“For every dollar of spend under management, 
Aberdeen has historically quantified 5% to 20% 
cost savings” 
…and save millions of dollars for your organization 
Power Advocate, Inc. Confidential 42

  1. Other analyses: Companies are doing this for services and equipment Proppant per pound (per well, per basin) This is for one vendor – you could compare this same information for other vendors You could track this information over time – track progress, monitor variability by basin/activity/etc. The same analysis could be done in comparing different vendors. A means of prioritization. Know where to focus. You have limited bandwidth and need to pick and choose where to focus attention and where to place your chips. Objective is to make this as automated as possible – a part of your standard operating procedures and reviews, not 4 people in a conference room for three months to try and answer one question – no scale in doing this.
