As SAP customers accelerate toward S/4HANA and broader digital transformation, tax compliance is often left behind, until it disrupts go-lives or derails global operations. Brown-Forman, the global spirits company behind Jack Daniel’s and operating in 170+ countries, tackled this challenge head-on. Facing complex VAT tax determination and e-invoicing mandates across Brazil, Portugal, and Mexico, Brown-Forman partnered with Sovos to embed real-time compliance into SAP — proactively, not reactively, without draining IT resources or delaying transformation timelines.
Join Kelly Lewis, Brown-Forman’s Head of SAP CoE, and Vadim Nemtsev, Sovos’ Director of Product Marketing, to learn how Brown-Forman future-proofed its SAP ecosystem while improving resilience, reducing audit risk, and simplifying operations across jurisdictions.
