8:30 AM Workshop F: The Efficiency Mirage: What Tools Won’t Fix in Record-to-Report Automation

Are your finance operations truly automated? Redwood and SSON Research & Analytics reveal the truth behind the “Efficiency Mirage” in shared services. Get the first-look at new 2026 research exposing why most finance teams hit a ceiling with fragmented financial automation and compliance tools. Discover what the data uncovers about the hidden manual effort, rework, and risk still buried beneath “automated” processes.

Hear how leading enterprises like Siemens have been able to break the cycle with Redwood’s end-to-end Record-to-Report orchestration platform and achieve autonomous financial automation.

In this session, you’ll:

See exclusive new SSON research quantifying the hidden workload that tools don’t remove
How Siemens replaced patchwork automation with true orchestration— achieving faster closes, stronger control, and audit-ready accuracy
Understand why “compliance isn’t completion” and how orchestration runs through the process, not around it.
Learn practical steps to build a continuous, touchless close and reclaim time, confidence, and control in your finance operations.
