At a time when economic instability is colliding with rising digital expectations, finance leaders are being asked to do the impossible: cut costs, manage risk, and deliver real-time insights (all without adding headcount). The key to achieving this is via automation and AI-powered solutions, which enable straight-through-processing, unearth and analyze crucial data, and allow for agility in volatile economic environments.
However, the journey from piecemeal automation to autonomous processes isn’t easy. It requires detailed planning, effective change management, and the right solution. This year’s summit is a blueprint for achieving this, delving not only into the opportunity that AF brings, but case studies showing the real impact and lessons learned from those who’ve moved forward.
