“Zurich wanted to be one of the first
customers to evaluate the financials
innovation delivered with SAP HANA.
Deployed as a simple add-on for SAP
Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, we
are really impressed by the results in terms
of the performance, simplification, and
agility it could bring to our finance
community.”
Wilco Boosman,
Director, SAP Convergence

“Sanofi has been collaborating with SAP on
the next-generation finance solutions, and
we have significant experience with SAP
HANA as we use it within our own financial
systems. The role of the CFO and the
CFO’s team continues to evolve, and this
new wave of innovation will allow finance
professionals to access information in new
ways, enabled by the speed and power of
SAP HANA. This will help to drive ongoing
finance transformation as we see it at
Sanofi.”
Jan Waals,
Principal and Global SAP Practice Leader
Sanofi Consulting LLP
“Our first experience with SAP Simple
Finance, powered by SAP HANA, has
proven to be the right solution to drive our
key financial processes and reporting in
real time. Our finance users were really
impressed by the ability to perform reporting
and analytics on item levels. Reconciliations
of costs and financial accounting can now
be done at any time. I’m fully confident this
is the way forward to run finance at DSB.”

“The financials add-on for SAP Business
Suite powered by SAP HANA was deployed
in less than two months without any
disruption to our business. We now have
one common platform for both regulatory

the-fly financial processes. This innovation
will help us deliver stronger financial
leadership through better advice on strategic

that impact the business performance and
effectiveness of SAP.”

“Our students live in a technological era,
and we must provide a consistent
environment so that their learning life and
their social life can seamlessly blend. Our
teaching staff and researchers must also
have administrative overhead lifted from
them so they can concentrate on their core
activities. As an example, with SAP Simple
Finance, our finance organization will be
able to focus on the most essential tasks
and get the job done in real time.”
John Dewar,
President & Vice Chancellor
La Trobe University (Australia)
“As a leader in high security technology,
innovation is critical for us, which includes
implementing our internal processes, such as
finance, on the latest technology platform. SAP,
with its SAP HANA technology, is definitely
ahead of the competition with its database
technology and speed. We have run SAP
ERP since 2002, and will now change our
platform to SAP HANA, to enable us to take
advantage of SAP’s continuing innovations
such as SAP Simple Finance, to meet our
goal of being a technology leader both in our
own business, as well as in our internal
support processes.”
