SBN Finance Function Day 2026 @EY Skye

Many organizations struggle with fragmented, Excel-based planning processes that limit transparency, consistency, and scalability across Finance and operations. SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) addresses these challenges by providing a unified, cloud-based platform for integrated planning, analytics, and collaboration.

This presentation follows the SAP Analytics Cloud planning implementation journey at Hydro Aluminium Metal and explores how SAC Planning enables standardized end-to-end planning processes, a single source of truth for planning data, and integration with SAP landscapes such as SAP Datasphere.

• Single Source of Truth – Employee and organizational data is maintained centrally in SuccessFactors and flows seamlessly into S/4HANA via Business Integration Builder (BiB). No more HR vs. Finance data conflicts.
• Automatic ID Synchronization – One Employee ID in SuccessFactors automatically creates and matches the corresponding Personnel Number in S/4HANA.
• Frictionless Time Recording – Employees record time in CATS using the same unified ID they already know. No confusion, no rekeying, no mismatched records.
• Smart, Automated Processes – Organizational structure replicates cleanly, so approvals route to the right people and cost allocations land correctly—without manual effort.
• No duplicates. No dual maintenance. No constant cleanup. Admin time drops dramatically, errors decrease, compliance improves, and reporting becomes far more reliable.

Bottom line:

• You save time, increase accuracy, and free HR and Finance teams to focus on what actually matters—people and business outcomes, not system reconciliation.
• This is modern HR + Finance working as one system, not two.
