Hola! Most SSC/GBS C-level executives who attend SSON LATAM events define themselves as looking after an Onshore Captive operating model. They want to optimize the orchestration between human and bot workforces to expand the scope of their operating model and attract talent. Such an automation strategy provides near real-time metrics for better decision-making across functions so they can hit their difficult KPIs and provide a higher return of investment.  


Join this workshop to discuss: 


  1. Adding automation to manual processes 
  2. Scaling intelligent automation across support functions 
  3. Orchestrating Business Intelligence automation with the workforce 
  4. Integrating your operating model 

 

Walk away with business intelligence automation to expand the scope of your operating model. Gracias!

2:30 pm - 4:00 pm WORKSHOP D: Master the Touchless Close and Redefine your R2R Process

If your organization runs SAP, this is your opportunity to reimagine what finance automation can achieve.  


Built for SAP. Proven in the enterprise. 


This workshop is designed specifically for finance and IT leaders operating within SAP ECC or S/4HANA landscapes. You’ll discover how native automation—purpose-built for SAP—is enabling world-class finance teams to eliminate manual work, reduce close cycles, and drive compliance across global entities. 


What you’ll learn 

  • How global enterprises run touchless R2R on SAP 
  • Real examples from Siemens, Arla and Jabil—each using Redwood’s SAP-native platform to transform their close. 
  • New research from SSON Research and Analytics: R2R automation maturity 
  • Be among the first to see the latest benchmarks on where finance teams are winning—and where they’re falling short. 
  • Complete SAP-native automation in action. Learn how to automate journal entry, balance sheet certification and task orchestration without leaving SAP.  

 

Join peers in a guided workshop session to define your automation path—aligned to your SAP environment.
