MICROS Retail Supply Chain Difference Introduction In today's market it is growing increasingly difficult to identify true differences between vendors that you can trust. As a specialised provider in our space, we argue there are very few close competitors although if you research using terms like Location Product Lifecycle Management you will find many. Most however are generic and although on paper indicate all the items expected, they do not have the functional depth, knowledge and experience of brand and private label product development and quality, specifically in food. We would therefore like to draw your attention to our differences for your consideration and hope this helps with your evaluation. Why Micros RSC Our values… our leadership began the business in 1995 pioneering the research with several retailers and food manufacturers before launching our award winning product in 1997. Our ethos has always been to Learn, Execute, Assist and Deliver on our promises, adopting this LEAD approach across every function within the business. Although a minor interpretation, it is significant to us that we share a close client relationship instead of servicing a customer. As you are, we are passionate, proud and protective of our brand and ensuring we meet your goals enables us to meet ours. Our clients… we are fortunate that we work with some of the best brand and private label providers across the world. Our partnerships over the last 15 years have enabled us to deliver high quality and functional solutions that frankly have been honed to perfection by some of the most demanding companies to reach the highest quality. Long may this continue. Why Micros RSC over our competitors? Our people… we employ food and non-food, quality and product development practitioners to design, collaborate and advise on the use of our solutions. 50% of our business have sat where you are and experienced your situation, challenges and concerns and bring understanding and knowledge to ensure we guide and support you. Our user perspective ensures our continuous improvement and new product programmes, supported by our highly professional and skilled software analysts, developers and quality engineers, meet both today's and tomorrow's requirements. Our focus… we are passionate and dedicated to myCreations and not distracted by offering sourcing, trading and general IT services to the market. We utilise our specialised experience and knowledge to offer a fully comprehensive end-to-end solutions for all our clients. Our depth… unlike other solutions, which offer process management workflows collecting and managing data sheets, we offer specialised integrated applications for product and supplier development and compliance that have been designed from the ground up to meet the specific requirements of this market. Our heritage… we are committed to offering solutions that enable brand protection, compliance and due diligence efficiently and reliably to clients who are passionate, proud and protective of their brand. Our collaborative environment ensures right first time, enables quality improvement and inevitably improves both the speed and success of products to market. We do not offer systems that tick a box to meet a speed to market demand. st Our leadership… we were 1 to market in our specialised field in 1997; having led the market for over a decade with our award winning generation 2 solution, we recognised the need for the next generation based upon the changing global rd dynamics in consumer goods. In collaboration with our clients and partners we are pleased to introduce the 3 generation of these systems that uniquely combine true collaboration, visibility and control to every user individually across a global stage. 10th March 2009

Our internal industry practitioners and global alliance partners ensure our solutions continue to meet market initiatives and legislative requirements. This ongoing and rapidly growing demand on you and your IT solution is often overlooked and not accounted for in cost and resources within your internal IS providers. Our priority… your solution is our business and our number 1 focus.

Our product development programmes involve client and alliance collaboration to enable Micros to continually invest in these enhancements and keep you informed and tooled to meet these requirements. Misleading statements In a competitive environment it is sometimes too easy for vendors to position themselves in a manner that could be misleading.
