EMPOWERING FINANCIAL TRANSFORMATION: LEVERAGING SAP BTP FOR REAL-TIME, AI-DRIVEN CLOUD-BASED FINANCIAL EXCELLENCE

Abstract
In an era where digital agility and data accuracy are paramount, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is redefining financial data integrity, offering a unified framework that integrates real-time analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive modeling into cloud-based financial systems. This session will showcase how SAP BTP enables organizations to streamline operations, improve compliance, and accelerate decision-making through intelligent automation. By consolidating structured and unstructured financial data from SAP and non-SAP sources, companies achieved up to 98% accuracy in financial reporting , a significant leap from traditional frameworks that averaged 75% accuracy. Reporting timelines were slashed from 3 weeks to just 2 hours, while forecasting precision rose from 70% to 92%, and risk identification efficiency markedly improved. A key focus is the role of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), which empowers finance teams with intuitive dashboards, live performance tracking, and AI-driven insights. Organizations using SAC have experienced a 90x improvement in reporting efficiency, as seen in a multinational audit firm that reduced report generation time from 15 hours to just 10 minutes using a 3-terabyte SAP HANA deployment. Further, the presentation will explore how real-time data and predictive analytics enhanced cash flow forecasting accuracy from 65% to 95%, optimized inventory management, and reduced supply chain lead times from 7 days to 2 days. AI capabilities, including deep neural networks and natural language processing, enable early anomaly detection and scenario modeling, vital for resilience in volatile markets. By attending this talk, financial leaders and IT strategists will gain a blueprint for leveraging SAP BTP as both a technological foundation and a strategic catalyst for scalable, future-proof financial transformation.
