Case Study: Enel achieves a 5-day financial close with SAP HANA (SAP S/4HANA on SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud)

How Do You Supercharge Your Finance Processes to Achieve a Fast Closing in a Complex Landscape

Enel, a global energy leader pursuing an “Open Power” strategy and carbon neutrality by 2050, faced a fragmented finance landscape with 19 ERP systems across more than 484 companies in 23 countries. This created inefficient reporting, redundant manual checks, poor transparency and a month-long close cadence (16 working days), limiting timely decision making and operational efficiency.

Enel implemented SAP S/4HANA for central finance foundation on SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to centralize transactions in real time and harmonize data into a single platform. The result: the close shortened from 16 to 5 working days, faster reconciliations, higher-quality consolidated data, real-time analytics, lower total cost of ownership and a digital core that supports ongoing modernization and new customer services.
