Executive Summary
For most organizations, existing systems in finance and supply chain were implemented in the last century. Although very valuable and, in many cases, irreplaceable, these legacy systems hamper an enterprise’s ability to adapt to change and deliver new offerings with speed. Leaders face tremendous pressure to both grow the business and achieve operational efficiencies amid tough market conditions. The advent of new technologies in cloud computing, analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) provides opportunities to move from transactional systems to autonomous systems. This report shows how the drive toward situational awareness will require technologies that unify workflows, facilitate smart orchestration, and improve automation of finance and supply chain processes.
