With each quarterly earnings announcement showing dramatic increases in cloud ERP revenue, SAP’s strategic shift to S/4HANA cloud services is clearly now in full swing. In Q1 2024, revenue from the Cloud ERP Suite was up 32% and reached $3.48 billion US, marking nine straight quarters of 30%-plus growth. 

The role of enterprise level CFOs has changed radically over the past decade with both a widening scope of influence and greater responsibilities for helping guide corporate transformation programs and technology choices. Instead of the historic backward-looking role focused primarily on gathering and reporting data, the Office of the CFO is now much more involved in proactively analyzing trends and formulating forward-looking strategies to drive future company results.

Previous episodes in this Insights Series have explored the challenges created by new Digital Solutions Economy paradigms for billing, fulfillment, invoicing, revenue accounting, and compliance across a wide range of industries.

We will explore how FI-CA optimizes rapid processing of very high volume transaction flows by collecting, aggregating, and posting all detailed level information to the GL, while providing seamless ability to handle credit and collections. The panel will also address how FI-CA interfaces with SAP BRIM for subscriptions and with revenue compliance processes through SAP RAR’s Contract Based Revenue Recognition (CBRR) functionality.
