SAP Simple Finance early adopter success
“Deloitte 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 Deloitte.”
Jan Waals, principal and global SAP practice
leader, Deloitte 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.”
Ken Kastrup Nielsen, IT Finance Specialist,
DSB (Danish State Railways)
“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”.

the most essential tasks and get the job
done in real-time.”
John Dewar, President & Vice Chancellor,

“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

technology and speed. We have run SAP ERP
since 2002, and will now change our platform to
