SAP on the Role of ERP in Business Manageability: Insights from KPMG’s “Vydnokolo” Project

SAP demonstrates how modern ERP solutions are becoming the foundation of transparent and controllable business management-especially in an environment of constant change.

The “Vydnokolo” project, implemented by KPMG in Ukraine, became a platform for open dialogue among CEOs about real-world challenges and management strategies in unstable conditions.

Participants included SAP Ukraine, Farmak, NovaPay, and Vchasno, underscoring the critical role of technology in modern business.

The original concept of Vydnokolo envisioned an offline format with live discussions. However, Ukrainian realities once again proved that agility is not a competitive advantage-it is a basic necessity. The ability to adapt quickly, maintain a focus on quality, and make tough decisions in times of crisis emerged as one of the project’s core themes.

ERP as a Common Language of Management

The Vydnokolo format stood out for its substantive discussion of risks, business model resilience, the role of people, cybersecurity, analytics, and AI. Most importantly, ERP systems became the common language for open executive dialogue, enabling CEOs, CFOs, and COOs to make decisions based on reliable data rather than intuition.

In an environment where strategic planning always involves two scenarios-“how it should be” and “how it will actually be”-ERP helps companies quickly adapt processes, maintain control, and make complex decisions even under crisis conditions.

Participation of Leading Experts

The project brought together leading experts from the business and IT communities, including:

• Anna Mikulitska (Hanna Mykulitska) – SAP Ukraine
• Volodymyr Kostiuk – Farmak
• Ihor Syrovatko – NovaPay
• Anton Skokov – Vchasno

Their practical insights showed that modern businesses need a single source of truth to see finances, operations, and logistics in real time, reduce risks, and strengthen business model resilience.

SAP ERP as a Strategic Tool

For SAP Ukraine-as well as for the entire community of SAP professionals and users-ERP is not just an accounting system, but the foundation of transparent management and business growth.

SAP Business One and SAP’s analytical products enable companies to:

• make decisions based on data rather than assumptions;
• adapt business processes without losing control;
• increase transparency across finance, production, logistics, and sales;
• lay the groundwork for scalability and AI integration.

A modern ERP system allows companies to remain manageable, transparent, and ready for change-turning data into the basis for open dialogue and strategic decision-making.

The Vydnokolo project confirmed a key insight: the winners are not those who wait for stability, but those who invest in data, technology, and business manageability today.

SAP Ukraine ERP is a strategic tool that helps Ukrainian businesses maintain control, build transparent processes, and effectively implement innovations-including analytics and AI-even in the most challenging market conditions.

The Perspective of Digital Business Solutions

For Digital Business Solutions, these topics are not theoretical. Ukrainian companies approach us every day with the same questions:

• how to maintain business manageability amid constant change;
• how to see finances and operations in real time rather than after the fact;
• how to prepare a company for analytics and AI adoption;
• how to reduce risks and strengthen business model resilience.

The answer to these challenges lies in systemic digital transformation, not in isolated automation initiatives.
