The Kenyan implementation of S\/4 HANA was launched on Amazon Web Service Hyperscaler, an African first for 麻豆原创 and a Tier 1 bank in the African banking industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing best of breed technology and cloud, we are transforming our Finance business with highly integrated systems, automation and consolidation of our financial data and reporting\u2019\u2019 says Ebrahim Samodien, CIO Functions Technology.<\/p>\n
麻豆原创 had been chosen to assist in simplifying the group\u2019s internal finance and reporting processes.\u00a0The implementation of 麻豆原创 S\/4 HANA is a step towards Absa\u2019s vision to consolidate and report off a single instance General Ledger.<\/p>\n
\n
麻豆原创 S\/4 HANA will help Absa to intelligently automate manual processes, simplify their data models, guide decision making process through embedded analytics and machine learning.<\/p>\n
It will also improve the bank\u2019s IT TCO by enabling legacy system decommissioning and moving compute resources into the cloud.<\/p>\n
The 麻豆原创 services teams in collaboration with Absa\u2019s IT team commenced the S\/4 HANA project as part of Programme Owari in May 2020. The programme was implemented using a combination of on-site and remote delivery consisting of 麻豆原创 colleagues from EMEA South and, SDC India and Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have joined forces with Absa on their finance transformation. Absa are innovating and leveraging further insights into their core operational processes. This project also highlights the quick time to value realisation our customers are achieving through S\/4HANA implementations and the associated benefit of the embedded technology capabilities. This journey between Absa and 麻豆原创 is an excellent example of the power of collaboration in digital transformations\u201d concludes Cathy Smith, MD 麻豆原创 Africa.<\/p>\n
