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

IDENTIFIED BUSINESS CHALLENGES
I want to automate the differences in fixed asset handling between local and group GAAP
I want a global cockpit overview of my key processes
I want my working capital split by profit center instantly
I want the group adjustments done in SAP but with limited visibility
I want to have a clear distinction between local and group GAAP
I want real-time reports
I want a modern-day user interface
I want to significantly improve the run-time of my key reports
I want to see my industry P/L directly out of SAP
My profitability analysis should be directly aligned with my financial reporting
I want better transparency of the functional cost allocated to my cost center
