MotivationFinance Roadmap for SAP on HANA

Situation, April 2015:

• Novozymes finance business model is based on one global standardized

finance template implemented in SAP more that 15 years ago

• We have multiple finance projects in pipeline but we observe a decreasing

ability for IT to deliver solutions in SAP

• We have not exploited the latest SAP enhancement packs (EHP 6-7), and we

do not have a clear picture of where the latest SAP enhancements can

benefits to our finance model and operation,

• SAP have announced a new roadmap for Finance (Simple Finance or SAP

S/4 HANA)

• Novozymes IT is upgrading the technical SAP platform to HANA

MotivationFinance Roadmap for SAP on HANA

SAP on HANA (S4HANA) offers a multitude of new features and functionalities – Simple Finance, FIORI, BPC, Consolidation, Asset Accounting, Reporting, Access Control etc. etc.

We wanted to:

• Understand the path for how NZ Finance gets the most benefit out of the SAP

platform with the new opportunities

• Align short- and long-term priorities across finance functions

• Sequence the current finance project pipeline in order to limit the risk of

rework and to secure the critical path

• Proactively decide on initiatives required in order not to be on a burning

platform within the next three to five years

11

A roadmap…

- recognizes projects to allow the organization to attain

strategic objectives

- is a snapshot of projects, priorities, dependencies

and timelines at a given point in time and should be

revised as knowledge or priorities change

- has a long duration and will facilitate internal

communication and alignment
