When Lloyds Banking Group set out to update its financial systems, the project wasn't just about technology—it was also a catalyst to help the organization evolve how its finance function works, rethink what finance will look like in the future, and determine how IT can help make that happen.

found a very different experience than its on-premises enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations of the past. No big hardware costs up front, no customizations, no extensive requirements-gathering phase—and early on, end users were able to see the actual environment and understand how their work processes would change and why, says Matt Trager, the head of finance data and architecture for LBG. Get insights from Trager, based on his team's implementation of cloud-based ERP.
