803 0 Kommentare Oracle Reveals Global Best Practices for CFOs to Manage Modern Finance - Seite 2

"Modern CFOs are embracing their role as business catalysts and technology evangelists, but finance organizations are often the last to digitize operations," said Karen dela Torre, vice president, Oracle Applications. "CFOs need to digitize finance in order to successfully execute on new strategic mandates as digital change agents. This research helps identify best practices for the key process areas critical to any finance function."
"CFOs must recognize the value of a holistic approach to digital transformation that can drive both operational savings and the flexibility needed to change business models or shift in and out of markets," said Oracle Vice Chairman Jeff Henley. "Those who master digital transformation across the enterprise are not only helping fulfill their mandate as the stewards of corporate value, but also placing themselves in a better position to assume a greater leadership role in their organizations."
"CFOs are the collaborators and responsible for aligning all the other C-suite executives to make sure that there are no gaps in strategy, decision-making, or execution. No one really touches all parts of the enterprise the way the CFO does," said Keith Kravcik, executive vice president and CFO, Ovation Brands. "To stay competitive in today's market it is imperative to implement best practices, like the ones outlined in this report, to drive value creation and organizational excellence."
"Previous technology studies we have conducted indicate that the CFO's influence on IT and technology investments is rapidly increasing," said Marie Hollein, president and CEO, Financial Executives International and FERF. "In today's digital age, it is imperative for the IT function to become more strategic and align with corporate goals and objectives. FERF's research with Oracle provides a comprehensive guide of best practices in the application and use of new technologies for CFOs."
