Story
Inside Interpublic, record to report used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in communication services groups working out of the United States. Controllers and shared services needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Interpublic uses SAP SuccessFactors from SAP as the working layer for financial close. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. The practical change is simple: record to report has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Interpublic gets from SAP is a durable place to run record to report and a way for controllers and shared services to see the same financial close at the same time.
