FUNDACAO BRADESCO – SAP Innovation Awards 2025
Fundação Bradesco lacked standardized systems for operational and financial security. A digital transformation was initiated using a Greenfield SAP S/4HANA implementation to streamline decision-making and automate processes. Additional systems like ServiceNow, Teknisa, and Avalara were integrated to optimize governance and resource allocation. This improved compliance, standardized processes, and provided stakeholders with easy access to information, enabling faster and more effective decisions. - 5454 Download the DocumentPUBLIC

GLOBAL CHALLENGES

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
PUBLIC 6
Aiming to address the global supply chain crisis and improve
governance in Fundação Bradesco schools, many located in
remote regions, which provide quality education for underprivileged
children. In this way, contributing to Brazil's achievement of the UN
SDG 4.
There were no standardized systems for process integration to
ensure operational and financial security and efficiency. The budget
and resource allocation were controlled using spreadsheets, which
was against market best practices, resulting in slow decision-
making by Fundação Bradesco's executives.
By initiating the digital transformation, Fundação Bradesco's main
objective is to streamline decision-making, standardize process
flows between areas, and automate processes, aiming to optimize
resource allocation in schools while adhering to high compliance
standards.
