[CUSTOMER] Sounds familiar? Increasing business demands slowed by a legacy system! Endura bet on @SAP #S4HANA #Cloud Public Edition to overcome it. Endura SpA, Italy is a top chemical developer, manufacturer, and supplier of active insecticide ingredients. It’s also the leading producer of piperonyl butoxide, or PBO, a common insecticide synergist. Though business was booming, the company’s IT infrastructure had become a roadblock to its strategic short- and long-term goals. Endura’s operations were run on a decades-old on-premise ERP system. Custom-built by a group of small vendors, the platform relied on a tailored setup and ongoing updates and maintenance. Integrating new features was a long and sometimes impossible task due to a lack of system standardization. Operations productivity was bogged down by a tangle of complex internal and external processes. Overall, the IT infrastructure wasn’t designed for efficiency, adaptability, or innovation. “The migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition was a major transformational effort that embraces the present while adapting to the future. It’s a foundational step for the company to be more agile and resilient.” Maurizio Rongo #CIO, Endura SpA Full story in comment #SAPCloudERP #CloudERP #Transformation #ERP #SaaS

OneTrust CFO Guido Torrini discusses operating without a budget, being a 'wartime' CFO and nurturing finance teams to help them evolve beyond the reporting function.     Guido Torrini loves “technology and its infinite applications.” With over 20 years in finance at companies like Cisco Systems, Dell Technologies and Groupon, he has seen widespread transformation that has altered the finance function for the better. He’s also lived through tech’s boom and bust periods—beginning in the early 2000s when networking equipment was so hot that Cisco surpassed Microsoft as the world’s most valuable company. https://lnkd.in/eBJnU5ht #CFO #Finance #Business #StrategicCFO
