EY teams can help today’s financial institutions (FIs) accelerate their transformation with SAP Solutions®.

Helping financial institutions transform the finance function

Today’s financial institutions (FIs) need to accelerate their transformation agendas to become more agile and resilient in their pursuit of growth and greater long-term value while maintaining regulatory compliance. Reimagining and redesigning the finance function is frequently central to that effort, with strategic investments in innovative technologies key to achieving better, faster results in the digital economy.

Together, EY teams and SAP® offerings can help FI clients — banks, insurance companies, and wealth and asset management organizations — transform their finance functions, and in the process increase both strategic focus and operational efficiency, become value creators for the entire business and realize sustainable competitive advantage.
