9. Contract Life Cycle Management Initiative – $350k
Transformational
Executive Sponsor: Kerry Samovar/ Michael Henry
Project Description & Investment:
Rovi manages the Contract Life Cycle using a combination of
systems (LCR), eDocs, and highly manual process. This
management is not scalable or efficient. The result is long lead
times, duplicate entry, and manual touches. Standard reporting
capabilities are limited and any ad-hoc requests have a long lead
time.
This project aims to evaluate and implement CLM solutions to
address the current pain points in reporting and duplicate entry
(and other relevant areas like end-to-end work flow).
Benefits:
§ More focus on value add activities by dramatically reducing double
entry performed by highly skilled personnel
§ Integrated and standardized system and process
§ Visibility into data and dynamic reporting; dashboard and self service
§ Retire LCR and eDocs with standardized application to improve
business flow, eliminate custom application requiring specialized skills
to maintain, enhance and support
Strategic Impact: High
• Low touch contract creation management, and reporting.
Elimination of custom system
• Will result in ability to provide better management information,
identification of renewals, establish position per costumer
• Integrated system between SFDC, Contracts and Oracle ERP
back end will enable visibility into critical data; save time and
reduce costs for IT to manage the systems.
Interdependencies:
• Legal process and skills changes
Project ROI:
§ Cycle time reduction for Contract Creation (by eliminating
duplicate meta data entry) – Unknown baseline
§ Cycle time reduction in the ability to make decision based on
self-serve reports – Unknown baseline
§ Reduction of annual eDocs support of $32k
§ Reduction of manual labor in both legal, sales, and IT –

36. DivX Partner Portal 2.0 - $105K
Transformational
Executive Sponsors: Bill Corry
Project Description & Investment: $95K Capex for Q2 through Q3 2014
§ The DivX Partner Portal provides DivX licensed partners (OEM, ODM,
IC) the ability to go through the entire DivX certification process online.
§ Several major accounts like Samsung do not have resources that
speak/read English, therefore requesting DivX technicians on a regular
basis to submit Certification applications on their behalf.
§ This initiative is to extend the Portal’s functionality and localize it to
Korean, Japanese, and Chinese to provide Rovi’s Tier 1 accounts the
ability to self help in their respective language and go through the
entire process independently.
Benefits:
§ Decrease under-reporting from partners due to the lack of language
support
§ Partner Support technicians no longer have to submit applications on
behalf of the partner and can focus on their primary role of processing
applications
§ Remove the stigma that our partners (such as Samsung) have when
visiting an “English only” website
§ Less lost opportunities from our Japanese partners, not wanting to use
an “English” only website.
Strategic Impact:
• Expand the DivX Certification reach to strategic Asian countries
• Extend Portal’s functionality to support more regions in the future
• Increased accuracy in Royalty Reporting
Interdependencies:
• Availability of stakeholders in Asia for the implementation and UAT
• Reliance on the Certification team to provide localized content
Assumptions:
• n/a
Project ROI:
§ Based on records for Samsung alone, DivX technicians manually
created 2750 applications in 2012 and 1400 applications so far in
2013 resulting in employees spending more than 700hrs in manual
processes.
§ Likely increase in total units reported certified leading to higher
revenue

Transformational
Executive Sponsors: Bill Corry
Project Description & Investment: $85K Capex for Q4 2014
§ The DivX Certification team invests a lot of money in delivering Contract
Product Deliverables (CPDR) to our partners such as Software Development
Kits and Certification Test Kits
§ These deliverables consist of hard copies, CDs, DVDs, BluRay, USB sticks,
and external hard drives. Shipping is also an added cost
§ With every new contract or new product/version release, the Certification team
must send all these product deliverables to our partners
§ The goal is to also create e-copies, use CDN for all media deliverables, and
provide access to all of the content directly from the Partner Portal based on
the contractual agreement
Benefits:
• Immediate delivery to the partner, helping partners meet Mass Production and
other deadlines
• Immediate recognition of revenue that is associated with partners receiving
CPDRs
• Reduce cost of producing hard copy versions of the test kits and shipping costs

• Extend Portal’s functionality to support more regions in the future
• Increase accuracy of Royalty Reporting resulting in less Enforcement
tasks by Sales Ops
Interdependencies:
• Availability of stakeholders for assistance with implementation and UAT

Assumptions:
• n/a
Project ROI:
§ Based on analysis done with the DivX team, creating an online
delivery solution will result in cost savings of $55K - $75K in annual
cost
§ Cost of CDN for this implementation is yet TBD
