Is your finance function ready for the next wave of transformation?
A new wave of finance transformation is emerging, in which leading finance functions will lead by successfully collecting, storing and gaining insight from huge quantities of data. This new wave will position finance teams as data stewards — a new role for many CFOs, but one that must be embraced and embraced quickly.
From rethinking organizational structure, updating operational toolsets and redefining planning to managing cash, creating investment opportunities and improving forecast and analytical capabilities, finance leaders are now able to leverage internal and external data to help drive strategic opportunities for the company.
Exploding data volumes, radical automation and industry convergence — augmented by a move to the cloud — are creating this new wave of opportunities for transformation and expanding the role and impact finance functions have at their companies. Modern CFOs are leveraging this new era of data to further enhance their capabilities within operational finance via advanced analytics to drive insights that penetrate into operations.
