Catching the Digital Wave! Leveraging Emerging Technologies


This event session will be followed by a networking reception and evening presentation entitled "Good Growth/Bad Growth - Whatcha Gonna Do?" (5:30 PM - 8:00 PM) - Register separately by clicking here.

Digitization is transforming businesses throughout the world. There are four key drivers behind these efforts: improving customer engagement; digitizing products and exploring new business models; improving decision making; and driving operational efficiencies. Organizations need to decide whether they are going to be the disruptor and try to take a lead as a transformer, or whether they are going to play a waiting game, monitor the competitive landscape, and react as necessary to defend market share. 
 
There are a multitude of techniques that can be used to transform business processes. Often, just deciding on what to analyze and automate creates a frustrating dilemma.  It's so easy to be distracted by the identified pain points and symptoms, making it very difficult to step back and view the information objectively.
 
May’s professional development session will cover how companies are leveraging robotics process automation (RPA) and process mining to achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings within the Finance function, including:

  • How do we detect and resolve harmful bottlenecks, costly inefficiencies, and compliance issues?

  • How fast do we get insight into our processes?

  • Do we know the root causes well enough to tackle the issues successfully?

  • How can process optimization improvements, including the implementation of RPA, meaningfully impact growth, financial results, and performance and risk management?

Join us for an insightful discussion about the future of process analytics and optimization and how to quickly identify where system-driven workflows hit manual process bottlenecks – often areas which are ripe for the use of RPA to drive up automation and drive down costs. Our discussion will also cover case studies involving RPA and process mining – including demonstrations of different technologies available in the market.
