Sharing National University's Digital Transformation Journey

One of the key highlights of the event was a panel discussion featuring Ms. Jean Amantoy, CFO of National University, and Cris Dominic Meer of McCoy Philippines, who shared insights into National University's digital transformation journey with SAP Cloud ERP.

Ms. Amantoy discussed the university's transition from standalone, on-premise financial systems to a more connected digital foundation. With multiple campuses and ambitious expansion plans, National University needed a scalable solution that could support its growing operations and long-term goals.

Since implementing SAP, the university has experienced improvements in data accessibility, process automation, and reporting. With information more readily available across campuses, the finance team can spend more time analyzing data and generating insights, while providing management with more timely and accurate information. The system's embedded governance and controls have also strengthened confidence in financial processes.

Cris Meer emphasized that successful transformation goes beyond replacing an existing system. It requires understanding an organization's vision and designing a solution that supports its future ambitions. For National University, this meant building an SAP ecosystem that could accommodate new campuses without requiring the solution to be redesigned with every expansion.

The discussion underscored the importance of aligning technology, processes, people, and leadership to achieve meaningful business outcomes. Both speakers also explored the potential of AI in education, highlighting the need for practical applications, responsible adoption, and appropriate governance as National University continues to advance its digital capabilities.

Connecting with the SAP Ecosystem

Beyond the stage, SAP Connect Day Philippines provided valuable opportunities for McCoy Philippines to network with fellow SAP partners, customers, business leaders, and industry professionals. Through conversations and knowledge-sharing throughout the event, our team was able to strengthen existing relationships, establish new connections, and exchange perspectives on the evolving needs of businesses undergoing digital transformation. These interactions opened opportunities to better understand industry priorities, discuss emerging technology trends, and explore how SAP solutions can help organizations address their operational challenges and growth ambitions.

Participating as a Gold Sponsor also allowed McCoy Philippines to contribute to the broader conversation around business innovation while reinforcing our commitment to helping organizations get more value from their SAP investments.
