EY has the breadth of capabilities, experience and technologies and a proven track record to turn transformation ambitions into reality.

This year at SAPHILA, EY showcases its work helping organisations to generate long-term value faster – innovative, industry-focused, cloud-based, sustainable – with global alliance partner SAP.

Martin Zloch, Consulting Executive Director at EY, says: "As organisations redefine their business models, optimise their operations and strive toward greater sustainability, technology plays an increasingly important role in unlocking business value.

“SAPHILA offers an unmissable opportunity to see the latest and greatest innovations, customer success stories and product roadmaps within the SAP ecosystem, and to network and learn from like-minded business and technology experts."

Zloch believes organisations can unlock immense business value in four strategic areas: Supply Chain Optimisation, Finance Transformation, Sustainability, and Governance, Risk & Compliance.

"Modern organisations need real-time insights from their digital supply chains to reduce costs and optimise their end-to-end supply chain processes. Through integrated business planning leveraging SAP's extensive solutions portfolio, we can help organisations improve their supply chain efficiencies."

He notes the important role the modern finance function plays in optimising the supply chain, supporting sustainability efforts and enhancing governance, risk and compliance.

"The modern finance function acts as a strategic advisor to the business across the entire scope of its operations, but success in this domain requires accurate, real-time data and powerful reporting capabilities," says Zloch. “Finance leaders are also challenged by new sustainability reporting requirements that demand fresh approaches and business-led thinking around the role of technology.”

He adds that much of the data required to accurately report on sustainability is already embedded in SAP systems. “We see a great opportunity to support and guide companies as they define their sustainability journeys, enhance their supply chain efficiencies, and transform their finance functions, leveraging SAP solutions. We look forward to valuable discussions at SAPHILA 2023."

Together, we turn potential into sustainable performance.
