The company-wide migration from an older SAP system to SAP S\/4HANA presented an opportunity to fundamentally rethink planning. Previously, financial planning was primarily carried out using decentralised Excel files, which led to poor data quality, time-consuming manual processes, and a lack of transparency. RheinEnergie recognised the need for an integrated EPM solution to enable efficient and high-quality centralised planning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37d9fdb4 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"37d9fdb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/api.signal.bdg.io\/storage\/v1\/object\/public\/email-assets\/7c634307-06b4-48fd-b75a-0b3c8900bf66\/shared\/1779873817740_EN_SucSto_RheinEnergie.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read success story<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76bc8359 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76bc8359\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37892703 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"37892703\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52c28912 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"52c28912\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PROJECT OBJECTIVE<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9146ca3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9146ca3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The aim of the project was to implement a centralised planning platform based on Jedox for cost centre, cost type, and profit centre planning.
