Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Adidas spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Financial close was splitting across regional habits. Controllers and shared services asked for a shared way to run record to report without freezing local judgment.
Oracle (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is what they standardized on. Oracle delivers enterprise applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, including Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Adidas uses it as the system of record for financial close, with controllers and shared services as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
