Financial operational reporting for public sector financials Defense and security

Business context and goals

Use case: Financial operational reporting for public sector financials

Business value:

1. Effective financials operational reporting – especially at end of fiscal year and quarter when

near-real-time decisions are being made based on the question of what money needs to

be obligated

2. Reduced wait time for reports

3. Effective and efficient financial-close process

Business challenges

Impact on an ability to perform financial analysis

Reports that time-out and cause operational inflexibility and delays

Inability to complete expenditures at end of quarter or year because the status of funds and

obligations not visible

Contribution of SAP HANA

Military agencies have seen the potential for improved reporting that may become available to

other departments that have similar needs. Any government organization needs a clear view of

the status of funds – especially near the end of fiscal quarters and years, when heavy

transaction loads prevail.

Material requirements planning (MRP) Defense and security

Business context and goals

This arm of the military has a requirement to conduct MRP within its SAP software environment

Business challenges

During early 2012 while this program was undergoing its prefielding planning, the government

program office identified MRP scalability as one of the program’s major risks. SAP escalated this

issue to Bill McDermott at the request of the customer. SAP successfully identified several policy

and implementation areas that needed to be addressed by the government and the system

integrator.

In regard to MRP scalability, SAP believes that the customer has data-setup and data-integrity

issues and an inability to run relevant reports and perform analysis. Both are likely to be bottlenecks

to scaling up the solution to an estimated 160,000 users from the current user base of 3,000.

Contribution of SAP HANA

SAP HANA would help the MRP run ingest and process the anticipated volume of data
