Story
EDF grew procurement and payables faster than the local tools around it. From France, utilities teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Procurement and AP were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out SAP S/4HANA put source to pay on SAP. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. EDF keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so procurement and AP do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier source to pay. Procurement and payables is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join procurement and AP without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
