Accelerating Your Close Cycle & Real-Time FP&A

SAP Exploration Workshop for Finance - Workshop on Request

Every finance organisation has unique challenges around closing cycles, financial consolidation, and FP&A transformation, especially as boards demand faster insights and compliance becomes more complex. Rather than a standard workshop, we listen first. We'll start with an alignment call to understand your specific priorities, whether that's shortening close timelines, embedding real-time reporting, or building FP&A capability. From there, we design a focused session around what matters to you. Depending on your needs, we might explore:

Parallel closing processes and real-time data foundations (BDC, S/4HANA Finance)
AI-driven consolidation and predictive FP&A insights
Change management and team capability for modern finance transformation

Consolidating Spend & Gaining Supplier Visibility

SAP Exploration Workshop for Procurement - Workshop on Request

Procurement organisations face different challenges: supplier consolidation, maverick spend visibility, compliance, and approval automation. Rather than a standard workshop, we start by listening to your situation. We'll begin with an alignment call to understand your priorities, whether that's reducing supplier fragmentation, gaining spend visibility, or streamlining procurement workflows. From there, we design a focused session around what matters to you. Depending on your needs, we might explore:

Supplier consolidation strategy and source-to-pay workflows (SAP Ariba)
Maverick spend identification and compliance controls
AI-driven insights for procurement optimisation and cost reduction

KEYNOTE

SAP’s Vision for Finance, Spend, and the Intelligence That Connects Them

When finance and procurement operate as one, the entire organization gains momentum, decisions are made faster, insights become sharper, and performance reaches new heights.

In this keynote, we explore how the SAP Business Suite, powered by AI, is creating a unified and intelligent foundation that seamlessly connects finance and spend. By enabling trusted data to flow across the enterprise and empowering teams with real-time insights, organizations can move from reactive operations to proactive, strategic decision-making.

See What Has Changed, What You Can Act On Now, and What Comes Next

This session covers what has materially changed in the platform, where AI is now embedded directly into sourcing, supplier management, and contract processes, and what that means for how procurement teams work day to day. You will also get a clear view of the 2026 roadmap and what a transition from current-generation SAP Ariba realistically involves for your organisation.
