Case Study: Canton of Zurich streamlines financial processes and speeds funding approvals with SAP

How the Canton of Zurich successfully adopted SAP BTP and trust its capabilities as a strategic platform

The Canton of Zurich, the largest canton in Switzerland, wanted to modernize its finance approval processes, which were still based on nonstandardized Word templates, multiple tools, and manual checks. This made it hard to track project finances quickly and accurately, while also creating delays, errors, and inefficiencies. SAP BTP was selected to support the digitalization effort, along with SAP Build Process Automation and SAP Build Work Zone.

SAP helped the Canton of Zurich build a standardized, system-based workflow that automated and simplified fund-release requests, approvals, tracking, and analysis. The result was greater transparency, compliance, agility, and operational excellence, with high user satisfaction during testing. The project also delivered 100% of project streams on time and within budget, and combined 9 processes into one comprehensive solution.
