Story
Financials work at Discover Financial spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Financial planning was splitting across regional habits. FP&A asked for a shared way to run planning and forecasting without freezing local judgment.
Fiserv (Clover) is what they standardized on. Fiserv provides financial services technology for banks, credit unions, and merchants, including processing, digital banking, and Clover. Discover Financial uses it as the system of record for financial planning, with FP&A as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
