Case Study: Maastricht University achieves faster financial reporting and lower operational costs with SAP

Maastricht University Becoming a leading digital institution

Maastricht University, a research-focused public university in the Netherlands, wanted to become a leading digital institution by replacing outdated, disconnected systems with a more efficient cloud-based environment. Using SAP solutions, the university aimed to integrate finance, HR, and procurement into one system while improving reporting and the user experience for staff and researchers.

SAP, working with implementation partners, delivered an intelligent cloud ERP foundation built on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP Ariba. The university modernized operations, eliminated manual processes, and improved visibility across departments, resulting in 45% faster financial reporting and a 20% reduction in operational costs.
