Case Study: Vertex Pharmaceuticals achieves faster, more transparent global tax management with SAP and Vertex Tax Accounting

Improving Corporate Tax Management Through a Strong Partnership with SAP

Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a global professional services company, faced challenges in strengthening its tax application's integration with SAP solutions, simplifying its IT architecture, and supporting its overall technology migration to the cloud. To address these multifaceted global tax needs, the company partnered with vendor SAP.

The solution involved deeply integrating Vertex's Tax Accounting application with SAP Cloud Platform and certifying it for use with the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) application. This co-innovation partnership with SAP resulted in improved performance, simplified IT architecture, and greater sales enablement opportunities. The partnership provided Vertex's mutual customers with real-time insight for tax strategy and a faster financial close process with increased transparency and reduced risk.
