Episode Description
The buzz: Salud! The integration between Finance and Operations has evolved from time-lagging batch processes to now real-time information. Since operational information ultimately impacts both your revenue and cost planning, changes across your entire value chain must be reflected in finance. Savvy CFOs now see their functional scope widening from core accounting to include catalyst and strategist roles. And digitally mature organizations are enjoying up to a 26% increase in profitability. It’s all good. The experts speak. Alex Bannell, Capgemini: “So what?” Eric Bramley, Deloitte: “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity” (General George S. Patton, Jr.). Rich Sernyak, PwC: “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful” (John Maeda). Martin Mrugal, SAP: “Zero Latency is the future currency for competitive advantage.” Join us for Finance and Operations Integration: To Your Business Health!
