Financial Systems: Beyond the Spreadsheet Lie a Host of Technologies That Do More Than Simply Crunch the Numbers

Overview The intersection of finance and IT is not limited to ROI analyses, budget scrutiny, and potentially testy conversations between CFOs and CIOs. The finance function itself is the focus of a number of IT initiatives that will propel corporate efficiency. Decisions on whether to invest in any of these newer technologies may still entail some good old-fashioned spreadsheet analyses, but that doesn't mean the technological underpinnings of the finance department will remain static in 2004. This paper presents profiles of five technologies that will not only allow finance to calculate the bottom line but greatly enhance it.
