Examining how Autonomous Finance and AI agents are revolutionizing finance operations with touchless processes, real-time decision-making, productivity gains, and greater agility in shared services.
As shared services evolve from transactional support centers into strategic enablers, the next major shift is toward Autonomous Finance. While many organizations recognize that the autonomous finance and AI revolution is underway, they often struggle with where to begin or fall into the trap of expecting quick, “magic bullet” solutions.

Discover how shared services can unlock greater agility, accelerate cycle times, and drive enterprise-wide value by harnessing the power of AI.
Key topics in this session include:

- Discover how AI agents can actually be used to increase efficiency and productivity in back-office finance operations of shared services/GBS.
