Transforming Financial Planning and Analysis
In this virtual round table with OneStream by The Manufacturer, we will be exploring how complex organisations can deploy resources much more efficiently and add real, strategic value through technology.
VIRTUAL ROUND TABLE
Manufacturers face increasing complexity through mergers and acquisitions, supply chain disruptions and market uncertainty. Reliance on spreadsheets and legacy applications for Finance processes pose significant risk. Instead, future-focused businesses are unifying financial consolidation, reporting, planning and analytics through platform technology. We will be exploring how complex organisations can deploy resources much more efficiently and add real, strategic value through technology.
Core discussion points:
- Sharing best practice for unifying finance and operations
- How are you achieving data quality and business insight?
- What tools do you need to support growth and evolving FP&A requirements?
In collaboration with OneStream.
