Embedding Tax Compliance into SAP: Brown-Forman’s Global BlueprintAs real-time tax mandates accelerate worldwide, global businesses face growing compliance risks that can halt operations and disrupt ERP transformations. In this session, Brown-Forman’s Director of Enterprise Applications and SAP, Kelly Lewis, joins Vadim Nemtsev, Director of Product Marketing for Indirect Tax at Sovos, to share how the company unified tax compliance within its SAP S/4HANA transformation.
This session shows an in-depth look at how Brown-Forman embedded global tax compliance into its SAP roadmap to strengthen governance, streamline reporting, and future-proof operations ahead of new international mandates. Demonstrating how your team can build an intelligent compliance architecture that eliminates shipment delays, reduces manual workloads, and turns tax into a strategic enabler rather than a blocker.
Watch now to learn:
- Key strategies to prepare for 2025–2027 e-invoicing mandates
- Why aligning ERP modernization with compliance drives measurable ROI
- How to prevent noncompliance from disrupting operations
- Best practices for connecting IT, Finance, and Tax on one global platform
SAPinsider Research Webinar: Tax Technology in SAP EnvironmentsTax and finance leaders running SAP are moving from fragmented, spreadsheet‑driven tax activities to integrated, AI‑enabled tax operations that are tightly aligned with SAP S/4HANA roadmaps and global compliance demands. By standardizing on end‑to‑end tax automation, central data governance, and embedded tax engines, leading organizations are decoupling tax logic from SAP core systems, improving audit readiness, and creating scalable tax platforms that can keep up with rapid regulatory change.
In this SAPinsider webinar session, learn how benchmark leaders are architecting tax technology across SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP, and key third‑party solutions to support direct and indirect tax, e‑invoicing, and global reporting without over‑customizing SAP. The speakers walk through concrete SAP scenarios showing how intelligent mapping, AI‑driven anomaly detection, and cloud‑based tax engines are being used to maintain clean tax data, automate calculations and filings, and provide real‑time visibility to tax, finance, and IT stakeholders.
Watch this webinar to:
- Discover how an end‑to‑end tax automation layer can accelerate SAP S/4HANA projects by isolating tax rules and compliance logic from the SAP core, reducing upgrade risk, technical debt, and manual work.
- See practical, SAP‑centric use cases where integrated tax workflows, AI, and analytics improve user experience, shorten close cycles, and strengthen compliance across regions facing diverse e‑invoicing, ESG, and indirect tax requirements.
- Learn lessons from SAPinsider’s 2025 benchmark on how peers are funding tax technology, managing integration challenges, closing skills gaps, and using the DART model to prioritize next‑step investments in AI, data quality, and third‑party solutions like Avalara, Vertex, and others.

Brazil’s Tax Reform: Building a Resilient SAP-Centered Tax Compliance ArchitectureBrazil's tax reform is already underway—and it is not only redefining compliance, it is reshaping how companies operate at scale. As new mandates, electronic document types, and dual-system tax models take effect, organizations are rethinking the role of technology in managing tax determination, transaction reporting, and operational resilience.
In this on-demand session, Sovos experts Antonio Garcia and Helton Arsenio, hosted by SAPinsider's Sean Byers, examined how leading companies operating in Brazil are adapting their architectures to thrive in this new environment. Through three real-world customer cases, they explored how global enterprises are modernizing tax processes, externalizing tax logic from SAP, and building scalable platforms to absorb constant regulatory change.
The session detailed how organizations handling millions of transactions per month are preparing their SAP landscapes to support Brazil's new CBS and IBS tax framework—without compromising operational performance. Cases covered included a major Brazilian retailer operating across all 27 states requiring centralized, SAP-certified tax determination; a major airline managing millions of electronic tickets (BPE) with complex cancellation and rebooking workflows; and a global telecom company processing hundreds of documents per second across legacy systems inherited through acquisitions. Each case revealed how companies are turning regulatory pressure into an opportunity to modernize core systems and eliminate reliance on manual, spreadsheet-based processes.
Viewers will come away with:
- An understanding of Brazil's dual-system transition period (running through 2033), during which companies must manage legacy and new tax regimes simultaneously
- Why 2026 is the critical year for alignment and testing—and why 2027 marks the beginning of real government validation and enforcement
- How new electronic document formats (NFCom for telecom, BPE for airlines) and dramatically expanded XML invoice data requirements demand tighter master data governance
- How the government's move to transaction-by-transaction, item-by-item real-time control—including "assisted calculation"—makes dispute readiness essential
- Strategies for connecting SAP to certified tax engines without over-customizing existing systems
- How Sovos Intelligence applies AI and business intelligence tools to enable natural language querying of tax data and proactive planning
The organizations that will navigate Brazil's reform successfully are those treating tax technology not as a compliance cost, but as a foundation for scale, resilience, and competitive advantage. With 2026 already here and 2027 enforcement approaching, the window to build that foundation is narrow.
