| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2020 | 2021 |
In 2020, Smith+Nephew implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial platform, replacing SAP ERP ECC 6.0, as part of a global finance transformation program. The program was scoped as a multi-region ERP Financial rollout across EMEA, LATAM, APAC and included post-M&A accounting integrations in the U.S, aligning SAP S/4 HANA deployment with consolidated finance objectives and tax compliance requirements.
SAP S/4 HANA was configured to support core financial capabilities, including general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, tax and VAT compliance modules, and accounting system consolidation. The implementation addressed ERP Financial workflows and incorporated category-aligned automation for period-end close, statutory reporting, and tax reporting processes, alongside targeted configuration for VAT and cross-border accounting treatments.
Integrations were executed to connect SAP S/4 HANA with outsourced accounting and tax compliance services and newly established global business services centers, while internal IT PMOs, IT developers and multiple consulting and implementation partners provided technical delivery and systems integration support. The deployment covered coordinated cutovers and post-M&A accounting consolidations across the specified regions, and the SAP S/4 HANA implementation functioned as the core financial system of record for those integrated services.
Program governance was centralized under the Finance Transformation Director, with a dedicated PMO, a team of project managers and budgetary control for the overall program, and performance oversight of consulting and implementation partners including Big Four and specialist consultants. The transformation included development of a global finance target operating model, the setup of multiple GBS centers with over 300 roles moved into those centers, outsourcing of accounting and tax compliance globally, and ongoing development of post-Go-Live ways of working and process improvements.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Smith+Nephew implemented Workday Absence Management. The deployment targeted Absence and Leave Management capabilities to centralize leave administration within HR and the Global Business Services organization, with an initial operational focus on EMEA HR cohorts.
The implementation configured standard absence types and entitlement rules, employee self-service for leave requests, manager approval workflows, absence balance and accrual calculations, and configurable notifications and calendar visibility. Workday Absence Management was tested in sandbox environments and supported by data quality audits, role-based training, and the creation of over 30 user guides to standardize operational procedures.
Operational coverage emphasized HR coordinators and GBS HR Services across EMEA, reflecting existing support for roughly 5,000 EMEA employees and local subject matter expertise in the United Kingdom and Germany. The deployment aligned absence records with core Workday HR master data to ensure consistent employee profiles and to feed centralized case management and reporting workflows.
Governance was organized through the centralized GBS HR Services function, with Level 1 HRIS support, structured training and coaching for local HR teams, and scripted testing and audit processes for release governance. Support activities during the rollout included sandbox testing, training delivery, and country integration work that increased incorporated countries from 3 to 20 and were recognized internally for cost reduction and quality improvements.
