processes that hinder project
execution
 Time consuming maintenance and

or quality are detected too late in the
process
 Decisions to mitigate risks and
opportunity costs are taken too late
 Improved run time of project
monitoring reports

Engineering, construction, and operations
Business context and goals
Managing performance from a financial perspective is becoming more crucial every day. On-time
results for all audit- and analysis-related inquiries and an ability to react to risks and opportunities
exemplify the need for a transparent and efficient process to deliver financial information on time
and accurately. You need to manage operations and related performance successfully in today’s
volatile business conditions.
Business challenges
You need to plan, replan, monitor, and control the business model, business operations, the
products and services offered, the markets served, and the technologies brought to your
customers in volatile market environments. At the same time, you must increase efficiency, reduce
operating costs, and improve stakeholder satisfaction.
Process innovations
Real-time financial close ensures accelerated closing activities through faster processes, reporting
without data latency within an heterogeneous financial consolidation landscape.
Contribution of SAP HANA
SAP HANA offers features for custom planning with dimensions and at the aggregations level for
real-time simulations. Critical-path processes and reports are accelerated in a central,
comprehensive, and real-time consolidation environment. You can achieve almost instant
response times – even with a large number of calculations for products or across companies.
An enlarged analytical footprint for enterprise profitability is also available.
