Banking SAP Production Planning Case Studies

Client: Regional banking group with 2,500 employees and $4.2B assets under management across 45 branches in the Midwest US.

Challenge: Banking SAP Production Planning was required to replace a 15-year-old legacy treasury planning system that caused 14-day month-end close cycles and failed SOX audit requirements. The bank faced regulatory pressure to modernize after a merger created 3 disconnected planning instances.

Solution: A team of 2 SAP architects and 4 developers executed a 14-week implementation using SAP S/4HANA PP module with SAP Fiori interfaces. Discovery phase mapped 23 legacy workflows to SAP standard processes. SAP Migration Cockpit transferred 1.8M transaction records. Custom ABAP development integrated SAP PP with the bank's core banking platform via REST APIs.

Results: Month-end close reduced from 14 days to 3 days. SOX audit passed with zero findings. 99.7% data accuracy across migrated records. Project delivered 1 week ahead of schedule with 2.8x ROI in the first 18 months.

Client: Global financial services company with 8,000 employees across 12 countries, managing $180B in investment portfolios.
