Story
Communication Services work at Niantic spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Procurement and payables was splitting across regional habits. Procurement and AP asked for a shared way to run source to pay without freezing local judgment.
SAP (SAP BTP) is what they standardized on. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. Niantic uses it as the system of record for procurement and payables, with procurement and AP 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
