SAP Spends More on R&D Than All Others
R&D Expenditures (€ Millions)
“Importantly, the stronger margin does not appear to becoming at the expense of future growth – R&D headcount is up Q/Q and Y/Y and S&M headcount is down marginally quarter-on-quarter and up year-on-year – both indicating that capacity and product investment are not being curtailed.”

High opportunity costs due to lengthy sales cycles
Increase visibility to “sellable” titles
Improve Profitability
Lack of timely “by title” profitability analysis including P&L, balance sheet and cash
Ineffective cash management procedures
Visibility to Titles through the entire value chain
ObservationsKey Issues
Traditional windows are being shortened, and new windows added as technology advances bring new vehicles for distribution
Need for greater integration and automated window management to marketing, sales, business affairs, legal affairs…
Manage windows to maximize revenue
Increased competition for new content
Ineffective green-light processes
Contract terms are more complex as rights are defined in more granular terms
Ineffective IP management workflow
Maximize acquisitions
Key Issues for Intellectual Property Management
Lack of comprehensive business intelligence
Difficult to analyze project profitability
Systems are inadequate to deal with increasingly complex royaltycontracts
Real-time visibility to rights availability is critical for reducing sales cycle and increasing profitability of license sales
Money is regularly left on the table due to inability to clear rights in a timely manner
Timely, accurate information for reporting and analysis
ObservationsKey Issues
Lack of modern, flexible infrastructure
Reduce systems and duplication
Disparate systems and platforms make analysis and collaboration difficult or prohibitively expensive
Business systems integration adds cost with minimal benefit to end product
Align IT and Business Strategy
