Summary
Transformations to SAP Cloud generally fail on adoption rather than technology — and the value case for your team, process chain, or available budget often gets lost in the acronyms. I'm Garrett, a CPA and certified MS Excel Expert with 20+ years in SAP Finance, from public accounting through hands-on FP&A implementations at AMD, ExxonMobil, Lockheed Martin, Tyson Foods, and Stryker Medical. A practitioner with perspective across the full stack — G/L to Data Warehousing and Management Reporting (FP&A / EPM): BPC/BW → SAC-Planning → Group Reporting → Signavio → Cloud ALM → Business Data Cloud
