What A Successful Finance Automation Project Looks Like - Let's Be Pragmatic!
We all do projects; a finance automation and intelligence project integration or automation or predictive can be simple, wide, or deep.
Nobody is busier than the operations team. How can we de-risk the project, and how long is it going to take?
We employ best practices, using methodology and processes developed through many deployments, to ensure risk is mitigated and success is the destination. This integrates into your own way of working as needed.
The length depends on the level of complexity, and a first implementation, with all factors considered, can take between 3-5 days of effort over 14-60 days.
