My breakout session will dive into the SAP BlackLine partnership and the SAP solutions available to help you accelerate your close to disclose process. You’ll discover new ways to increase speed, efficiency, and quality while closing your books using SAP ERP, SAP solutions for EPM, and SAP S/4HANA. These innovative ideas will help you:

• Achieve real-time insight into the financial close progress and financial results

• Automate financial consolidation, accelerate the close process, and remove error-prone manual processes

• Improve financial statement production and management reporting

I’ve had the pleasure of attending InTheBlack in previous years, and found the greatest value in BlackLine’s thought leadership and listening to customer experiences. This year is sure to be the best one yet, and I hope to see you there.

The BlackLine Financial Close Suite has been an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution since 2013 and supports the completeness of SAP’s Accounting and Financial Close technology.

These solutions help customers reduce risk and achieve compliance in account reconciliation and financial close processes, gain efficiencies and increase employee productivity, thus freeing up resources for value-adding activities and supporting the business and enabling Continuous Accounting.
