Project Montana was a multi-year initiative that aimed to simplify and optimize the cost allocation processes within Google Finance, balancing simplicity with the necessary granularity for meaningful financial reporting. Bhavani Krothapalli played a critical role in this project, which reduced the monthly data volume for financial actuals from 600 million records to 50 million, achieving the most substantial performance improvement in Google Finance in over eight years.

As a key contributor, Bhavani was responsible for integrating driver data across various systems, a foundational element for all cost allocations. She also led the effort to revamp the reporting infrastructure, utilizing the latest technologies in SAP, including SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). This revamp resulted in the creation of intuitive, live reporting dashboards that provided real-time, actionable insights into Google’s financial performance. Bhavani’s contributions were crucial in ensuring that the project not only met its objectives but also set a new standard for financial process efficiency within Google.

The success of Project Montana was recognized across the organization, with Bhavani’s leadership in system integrations and reporting receiving particular acclaim. Her innovative solutions, such as the integration of SAP BW/4HANA with Google BigQuery, and her efforts in mentoring junior team members further solidified her reputation as a leader in financial technology innovation.
