ABB moved from seven ERPs to just one version of SAP in nine months. Previously the different methods of reporting created a culture of dependence on spreadsheets and manual intervention. Getting away from this to understand that there is one version of the truth in SAP is a huge change management exercise, and one that few conquer well. Andrew Marshall and Martin Smith from ABB will share the approach they used to give their business confidence that SAP produces reliable reporting data without manual intervention. After going live in December 2009, they have invoked an approach to continuously improve and optimise their processes with SAP. Now the CFO’s ambition is to complete reporting on day three. If you want a fresh, people-focused approach to get the most from your SAP’s reporting capabilities, attend this session.
