Executive Summary:

Enterprise finance has to contend with not only familiar business cycles and periods, but also disruptive circumstances that are marked by uncertainty. The latter conditions may be outside the experience of many managers and executives. Expected by organizational leadership to skillfully navigate these challenges, finance groups need assurance that their systems are up to the task.
To support analysis and decision-making in these complex situations, a complete CPM solution is more effective than a partial solution with limited and siloed functionality.

When a CPM solution covers the full spectrum of business performance management processes—from budgeting, planning and forecasting to consolidation, reporting, and analysis—within a unified platform, it can be described as an end-to-end or complete solution.

Executive Summary:

Vendors of corporate performance management (CPM) software have begun to recognize the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in their products. Nearly all vendors have some AI-based features today, or under development for an upcoming release, but only a select handful have emphasized AI as a strategic, fundamental component. Customers have started to request AI in CPM systems, particularly for its value in predictive analytics and forecasting – which many in Finance already have experience using that predates the use of AI in this area. This white paper focuses on the role of AI in budgeting but some of the discussion is applicable to other areas of CPM and Finance as well. Due to its “high volume, accurate historical records, and quantitative nature”, Finance is well-suited for artificial intelligence.
