Context & central challenges
Les enjeux
The CEB is a multilateral development bank. It finances social investments for governments and local authorities in 42 member countries. Its finance, procurement, human resources, and travel management systems relied heavily on Microsoft Excel. The application landscape was heterogeneous and poorly adapted to managing 230 employees from 33 nationalities.
The goal: to deploy a robust solution, aligned with market standards, to modernize all of these systems without expensive specific developments to maintain.
Modernize financial management, purchasing, and budget accounting
Digitize HR management, talents, and business expenses
Meeting the requirements of an international institution (multi-currency, multi-entity, compliance)
Maximizing the adoption of standard SAP features to limit future maintenance costs

Our approach
Fit-to-standard: SAP best practices, without custom developments
KPC steered the implementation using the SAP Activate methodology and translated CEB's requirements into standard features. A POC was carried out beforehand to validate the Public Cloud solution. The goal was to align processes with the SAP roadmap, not to readapt them in the code.
Finance & Procurement
Unify financial management and procurement
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public centralizes financial management, budgetary accounting, procurement, and payments. Processes are standardized on SAP best practices.
HR & Business Expenses
Digitize HR and travel
SAP SuccessFactors covers Core HR and talent management. SAP Concur supports the digitalization and control of travel expenses.
Data & Analytics
Establish a sustainable data and analytical foundation
SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere provide reporting, data warehouse, and governance capabilities. The Integration Suite on SAP BTP ensures the interoperability of the entire system.
