SAP didn’t just build ERP — it built the modern finance function.

From Business Objects to Ariba, Concur, and Signavio, every acquisition was a deliberate move to expand the CFO’s reach — from reporting to spend control, process visibility, and AI-driven insight.

This post breaks down how SAP’s 20-year acquisition strategy quietly redefined what “finance transformation” really means — and why the modern CFO’s tech stack now extends far beyond the ledger.

It’s not just about recording numbers anymore. It’s about governing spend, accelerating processes, and predicting outcomes.
