Finance and New Technologies: The Driving Force Behind Business Growth

In the era of Industry 4.0, the many changes taking place in the areas of administration, finance, and corporate control are affecting the strategic, technical, and organizational dynamics that CFOs and controllers are called upon to develop first and foremost.

Banks, too, are undergoing a period of major transformation, driven both by regulatory changes in recent years and by a gradual narrowing of margins in traditional banking activities. This requires greater attention to costs and risk management, as well as reflection on future strategic and business decisions and the professional skills of bank managers.

Specific, targeted skills are required, and for us, these are at the heart of our intensive training, monitoring, and market analysis efforts.

Finance and Digital

Thanks to the use of new digital technologies, today’s finance manager has access to essential tools—such as Big Data—that can be integrated into business operations to generate new value for the company. The recent data-analysis-oriented approach makes it possible to identify new connections and statistical correlations that are useful in internal decision-making processes and in relations with external stakeholders—with whom corporate management must increasingly engage in order to update its business models and financial structure.

Today, companies—and SMEs in particular—operate in an environment where managers in the Finance, Accounting, and Control (FAC) department are expected to possess a technological and digital mindset that enables them to strategically leverage the many technologies having a “disruptive” impact on finance operations to support the business. Digital innovation is, in fact, reshaping the dynamics of the financial world: from payments to management control to financing, and on to new financial services such as Fintech and blockchain—a true revolution in the entire transactional system of the finance sector.
