Finance leaders are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape where traditional ERP systems often constrain innovation. This session explores how CFOs can leverage AI and automation to transform financial operations without the disruption and cost of a complete ERP overhaul. We’ll examine practical strategies to free up resources, improve agility, and enable advanced analytics—all while maintaining compliance and governance.

Attendees will gain insights into how AI-driven tools can enhance forecasting, reporting, and decision-making, and how alternative support models can unlock budget for these initiatives. The discussion will include real-world examples of organizations that have successfully shifted from a “cost center” mindset to a “strategic enabler” approach, positioning finance as a driver of digital transformation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how AI and automation can modernize finance functions without replacing core ERP systems.
  • Identify strategies to reduce ERP support costs and redirect savings toward innovation initiatives.
  • Evaluate governance and risk considerations when implementing AI in financial operations.
