VALUE ADDED:

The structured analysis and further development of business requirements and processes is driving the modernization of contract administration in a focused manner. Complex business matters and dependencies are made transparent, optimization potential is identified, and transferred into scalable solution approaches that enable as much straight-through processing as possible. This creates clearer and more efficient processes as well as reliable decision-making and implementation foundations for business departments, architecture, and development.

To achieve savings and optimize compliance, apps were restructured in line with the mappings in identity management, restrictions were defined and, above all, costs resulting from overuse were reduced. Communication with stakeholders, validation of authorizations with users and technical implementation in the SAP FI/CO and Sourcing & Procurement modules created significant added value for the group. This also included the corresponding documentation for the auditors.
