Beyond SAP BPC: Rethinking Finance for the AI Era

SAP BPC's approaching end of maintenance is more than a technology decision—it's an opportunity to redefine finance for the AI era. Join IBM TruQua finance transformation experts, Par Ghatahora and David Wiegand, for an executive discussion on the strategic options available to finance organizations.

Designed for CFOs, Controllers, and FP&A leaders, this session explores the risks of standing still, the capabilities required of a modern finance function—including unified data, planning, consolidation, governance, and embedded AI—and a practical roadmap for navigating the transition. You'll leave with a clear framework to assess your options and define the finance operating model that will drive better decisions and greater business value in the years ahead.

What you'll learn:

• Why BPC's end-of-maintenance timeline should be viewed as a finance transformation opportunity—not just a technology upgrade.
• The key risks of remaining on legacy planning and performance management platforms, including innovation, AI, talent, and cost challenges.
• The three strategic paths finance organizations are evaluating and the factors to consider for each.
• The essential capabilities of a modern finance operating model, from unified data and planning to embedded AI and governance.
• A practical roadmap for assessing readiness, avoiding common migration pitfalls, and building a successful transition strategy.
