Story
Deutsche Bahn grew financial close faster than the local tools around it. From Germany, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Controllers and shared services were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Sage Intacct put record to report on Sage. Sage provides accounting, ERP, and HR software used by small and midsize businesses to run finance and operations. Deutsche Bahn keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so controllers and shared services do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier record to report. Financial close is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join controllers and shared services without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
