These are exciting times for CFOs. There is growing anticipation in the boardroom that technology and automation will finally deliver the promise to connect business information and business performance.
Data, information and analytics is at the center of the agenda, and this is both driving and enabling Finance to respond to next-generation challenges. Coupled with that, automation is opening up many opportunities to do more with less—meeting the frequently demanding, often conflicting requirements of all key stakeholders, from employees to customers, and from auditors to shareholders.
The opportunities offered by automation technology are limited only by imagination and mindset. But to ensure automation delivers on its promise, it is crucial to have the right approach to planning, implementation, and the targeted selection of appropriate pilot projects.
Intelligent automation can help finance leaders achieve the business outcomes they need in terms of revenue growth, profitability, working capital, and delivering customer satisfaction, both internally and externally.
