Business Process Simplification UX Improvement
Current Process• Plenty of operative entities & branches with a huge number of activities per
closing entity • Significant transaction volume at month end and time-intensive posting
cycles for mass data processes (e.g. order settlements, deferrals, accruals, assessments)
