Payment operations have quietly become one of the most strategic levers a finance organization can pull, yet for many SAP customers the mechanics of accepting, securing, and reconciling payments remain a source of friction, cost, and risk. In this three-part Expert Exchange series, SAPinsider’s Robert Holland sits down with payment leaders from Worldpay to unpack how modern payment technologies integrate directly into the SAP digital core—reducing day sales outstanding, accelerating liquidity, and freeing finance teams from manual, repetitive work. The throughline is clear: there is no one-size-fits-all answer, and the right approach starts with understanding how each business operates and how its customers want to pay.
Together, the episodes give SAP finance, treasury, and operations leaders a practical roadmap for turning payments from an operational burden into a driver of speed, accuracy, and financial insight.
