Central Finance Consolidation Across 7 SAP Instances at General Motors

As part of a PwC-led program, Enterprise Solutions Lab served as SAP process-validation lead for General Motors' Central Finance initiative — consolidating seven global SAP instances into a single SAP Central Finance platform.

Project Overview

GM ran finance on seven separate SAP systems worldwide. Central Finance brings those into one real-time reporting backbone without ripping out the source systems. ESL owned process validation — the bridge between IT and the user community that proves the consolidated design behaves correctly.

Validation Leadership
