Session III—Harnessing the Digital Transformation Journey

As architects of strategic planning processes, CFOs are uniquely positioned to become key drivers of a company’s digital transformation. In today’s digital age, the finance function is increasingly connected to different departments of an organization. Updates to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, although an enterprise effort, are having an impact on treasuries. How are finance executives navigating the integration of new technologies?
