Few things are as critical to corporate finance, accounting and related professionals as our systems. And those systems, from core accounting and budgeting platforms to back office infrastructure, ERP and CRM are moving online, into the “cloud”, and into an entirely new business model called Software as a Service, or “SaaS”. This represents the largest change in technology for our profession since the dawn of the internet.
Attendees at this event will learn about the latest in Cloud Computing and SaaS for finance, accounting and related functions: what they are, where they can be used, how companies are putting themselves in the cloud and more, including a focus on risk issues and how to use third party assessments to build trust with potential services providers. Our presenters have the latest knowledge of these applications and how you can put them to work for you, as well as what pitfalls to look out for.
