Keep the Best – Transform the Rest: How to Harmonize Finance on Your Way Towards a Global SAP S/4HANA

Is this witchcraft?

The classical path to drive innovation in Finance and Accounting in an SAP S/4HANA program is to start with a new system from the scratch. This implies a longterm project – especially for global organizations working in multi system environments.

This method minimizes costs because several classical projects will be concentrated into one project step leveraging harmonization and standardization goals.
