- Prophix presents Finance as a Strategic Asset: How Finance Leaders are Earning their Place at the Strategy Table with Wayne Slater, Director of Product Marketing and Kasia Baniak, Product Marketing Specialist
- If there is one thing we learned from last year, is it time for Finance to redefine what they do and how they do it. Transforming the Finance function goes deeper than upgrading technology. It’s using that technology to fundamentally change the role of Finance — from reactive to proactive, reporting to predicting, observing to advising. Taking on this new role, however, requires Finance professionals to develop new capabilities, embrace new technology and shift into a new role: being a strategic partner in their organization. Join us for an informative session about the shifting priorities of future-ready Finance professionals and how innovative technology like Corporate Performance Management (CPM) can take your FP&A to the next level.
