Early adopters’ comments • Event-driven finance “We found that we could resolve our disputes faster when we tied events to their financial outcomes. With integration to Ariba, we expect to manage our supplier risk more directly and avoid placing purchase orders with suppliers that might jeopardize our business.” (Supply chain manager, European retailer) “The CFO and the treasurer should be excited and on the S/4HANA Finance project. They can help move thinking beyond ‘account’ and ‘center’ to ask and answer more valuable questions about the firm’s trajectory.” (Managing director, North American services firm)
IS functionality, customization, and re-engineering • IS functionality in ECC is absorbed in S/4HANA. • Intermediate aggregate tables for existing customization
