**Job Description**:
ARHS Developments is looking for SAP Functional Analysts, possessing high level expertise with integration projects, for the European Institutions.

**Context**

The client’s IT modernisation project will significantly change the model of its financial reporting. As a SAP Functional Analyst, you will oversee the functional analysis of the project’s real-time reporting and the data extraction for the data migration.

The financial and accounting management is supported by a corporate information system consisting mainly of Accounting and Supply Asset Management modules (SAP ECC-based). Furthermore, it includes the Data warehouse (in-house developed using Oracle database and SAP Business Objects reporting) and a middleware (SAP PI service bus, Oracle service bus).

Striving for continuous improvement and ensuring compliancy with the Financial Regulation and Accounting Rules, the client will revise its Information systems, as detailed in a business case on the modernisation of the corporate finance system, to come to a new single Finance Platform base on S/4HANA

Implementing this platform will help to make the client’s financial IT landscape future-ready, improve its user experience, increase its capacity to process data and strengthen control of available date, raise cost-effectiveness, support reliable, consistent and timely information, and allow for predictive analytics and flexible modifications - whilst driving system robustness and business continuity.

The success of this implementation relies greatly on the adoption of S4H’s standard processes and industry best practices by keeping any customisations or developments to be the bare minimum.
