Case Study: Eli Lilly and Company achieves agile, standardized financial planning and forecasting with SAP Analytics Cloud
A SAP Case Study
Transformation with SAP Analytics Cloud Enabling agile planning and forecasting
Eli Lilly and Company, the global pharmaceutical manufacturer, needed to replace a decentralized, spreadsheet-heavy planning process that sat outside SAP and made it hard to validate, reconcile, and standardize financial data across affiliates. The company was also under pressure to improve forecasting and scale operations quickly as revenue growth accelerated.
SAP implemented SAP Analytics Cloud for Eli Lilly and Company to create a global, unified planning and forecasting platform integrated with SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW/4HANA. The result was a single source of truth for planning, standardized reporting, real-time forecasting, and broader scenario planning for 400+ users, helping Lilly consolidate its 2025 global financial plan and forecast revenue 1.5x with the same number of planners.
