FOKUSTAG UND WORKSHOPS - Dienstag 18. November 2025

4:30 PM Elevate Your Finance Close: A Workshop on Record to Report (R2R) Automation

Park Avenue Salon, Redwood, Syntegon, Siemens, EN

Join us for an exclusive, expert-led workshop hosted by Redwood, designed for process owners, heads of shared services, and finance leaders who are ready to move beyond manual processes and achieve a truly automated and efficient R2R financial close. This isn't just another workshop —it's a practical session featuring real-world insights from industry leaders.

What We'll Cover

In this workshop, you'll get an inside look at how global enterprises are achieving finance transformation and learn how they are building autonomy, reducing manual effort, and accelerating the close process.

• Learn from Leading Enterprises: Hear directly from finance leaders at Siemens and Syntegon as they share their firsthand experiences, challenges, and successes with R2R automation. This is your chance to get a candid look at what works in a real-world environment.

• Benchmark Your Automation Maturity: We’ll present exclusive research findings from SSON Research & Analytics that reveal the biggest obstacles holding back R2R automation in large enterprises. Use these insights to compare your organization's progress and identify untapped opportunities.

• Build Your Automation Blueprint: Redwood will demonstrate how to bring to life the vision of a fully orchestrated, Touchless Close. We’ll show you the essential components, including native SAP integration and end-to-end automation, and how to get there faster.
