The Challenge
Many finance departments are facing hours of manual accounting processes each month. Siloed departments, disparate data sources and clunky, legacy systems make regular reporting a long and arduous task. Throw new and existing complex regulations into the mix and you have a team that is spending all of their time looking backwards.
Technology, business models and customer expectations are changing. Most companies now have new digital front-ends, mobile apps, and omni-channel services, built for differentiated customer experience. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain and cloud are becoming part of every boardroom agenda. Finance departments that don’t modernize are at risk of being left behind.
