Story
Health Care work at Olympus spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Japan. 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.
Sage (Sage Accounting) is what they standardized on. Sage provides accounting, ERP, and HR software used by small and midsize businesses to run finance and operations. Olympus 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
