A modern financial system can become ‘right-time’ – not looking only at the past
but also involved in what’s happening now and in the future. With earlier
generations of technology, the only way to get things done was to run each
function in isolation. The financial system kept to its core role of keeping a
reliable historic transactional record. While that remains a crucial function,
today’s robust connectivity makes it possible to break down those barriers and
connect financials directly into day-to-day business operations.
Implemented in just a few months or even weeks, a cloud financial system is able
to work in sync with the business. Instead of acting as a brake on progress, it
embraces and facilitates change. It delivers financial data in a business
context that shows the real-world impact of decisions.
