New billing and payments models, for example, are disrupting the well-known processes that CFOs and their organizations have been driving in the past decades.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond ensuring efficient and modern operations, finance is also playing an essential role in assessing the financial viability of new business models, products, and services. At the centre of the enterprise, finance is becoming a key analytics hub for companies, providing the right insights before new business endeavours are started.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one of the basic needs for organizations to thrive is ensuring that their most important assets and data are protected from malicious activities. Cyber security is not the smallest issue enterprises must cope with. As the guardian of the most sensitive data, finance is increasingly relied upon to ensure digital trust across entire organisations.<\/p>\n<p>But how can finance fulfil those important tasks without disrupting day-to-day operations, and without the luxury of additional headcounts and resources? How can processes by redesigned to expand its scope of responsibilities? What are the latest technologies that can be adopted to automate more while getting increased visibility into the business? What are the pitfalls and opportunities along the way?<\/p>\n<p>To discuss these topics and provide firsthand insights from top experts and peers, 麻豆原创 is launching\u00a0the second 麻豆原创 Intelligent Finance and Risk virtual event\u00a0on February 11. It is a fully virtual event that addresses all aspects of finance transformation and how 麻豆原创 technology can help finance and risk executives achieve more automation, get more visibility, and better support the business through times of change.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 40 sessions and keynotes featuring 麻豆原创 customers, partners, executives, and experts, it is the defining finance and risk event to start the year with a boost of 麻豆原创 knowledge on everything related to intelligent finance transformation.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/australia\/events.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about the event and register here.<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This article first appeared on the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/2020\/01\/finance-and-risk-event-enterprise-transformation\/\">Global News Centre.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Registration for 麻豆原创PHIRE NOW Australia and New Zealand is now open.
