How SAP solved a problem for the customer?
3 things that helped drive the strategy
Industry
• RISE with SAP created a platform for compressed transformation allowing Accenture to focus on Clean Digital Core coupled with the ability to extend, integrate, and innovate with BTP. • One innovation example: Building the BTP Cash App Scheduler to send data to SAP Cash Application. This improved performance, the auto-clearing rate, and user experience. • We also leaned into fit-for-purpose SaaS applications. Corporate allocations is a critical input to financial reporting. As part of our Clean-Digital-Core strategy, we enabled SAP Profitability and Performance Management Cloud to replace our customized program with a fit-for-purpose platform to conduct complex calculations and provide real- time results.
• Leveraging RISE with SAP's tech-managed services, we've upskilled 50% of our retained IT team, directing their focus toward innovation. • Within the Clean-Digital- Core paradigm, our functional IT team has transitioned to composable architecture, forsaking custom code. • This strategic evolution allows us to quickly deliver innovation and meet critical business requirements with flexibility. Significant advancements, including SAP BTP and Profitability and Performance Management (PaPM) Cloud, underscore our commitment to agile and efficient solutions, reshaping our approach to technology implementation
