Customer Case Study: When an Integrated SAP Landscape Has to Come Apart

The session

About this session

Warner Bros. Discovery is one of the world’s largest media and entertainment companies, formed by bringing together two complex global organisations. After years spent integrating their finance processes and S/4HANA landscape, evolving corporate plans raised a very different challenge: how could systems designed to operate one global enterprise be separated for two independently operating companies?

Barbara Rojas shares a finance perspective on the navigating the complexities in preparing for separation across more than just the system itself, highlighting why untangling an integrated SAP landscape is rarely as simple as undoing the original program.

What You'll Learn

• Why separating an integrated SAP landscape is not simply integration in reverse
• Where dependencies can emerge across finance systems, data, processes, reporting and controls
• Strategies for aligning finance, technology and business stakeholders around critical design
• Designing separation that positions both companies for success, not just independence.
