Case Study: CPFL ENERGIA achieves real-time financial consolidation and 30-minute month-end closing with SAP HANA

How to expedite data consolidation after a major corporate merger

CPFL ENERGIA, a leading Brazilian utilities group serving 9 million customers and consolidating 44 companies, needed to expedite financial data consolidation after major mergers. The company faced long month-end closings and slow, unreliable consolidation and cash-flow forecasting processes that hampered timely decision-making.

Working with Neoris, CPFL migrated SAP BPC 10.1 to HANA, using in-memory processing to enable real-time closing and consolidation. Month-end processing fell from over six hours to about 30 minutes (saving roughly 72 hours/month), finance workload dropped by about 90%, and the company can now run cash‑flow simulations for all entities up to 36 months, improving planning, M&A integration and faster decision-making.
