Episode Description

The buzz: Cloud. Finance is warming up to adopting the Cloud, to help provide strategic advice to the business, operate more efficiently, and maintain compliance. But Finance first must figure out how to balance ease of ownership, low-cost predictable subscription model, less IT dependence, with concerns about security and data integrity of critical finance information in the Cloud. When? The experts speak. Joshua Greenbaum, Enterprise Applications Consulting: “The Office of the CFO needs to be split into the Office of Financial Compliance and the Office of Financial Innovation so we can ignore the former and stop driving financial innovation based on what a regulator thinks is innovative.” David Dixon, TruQua: “Behind every cloud is another cloud” (Judy Garland). Neil Krefsky, SAP: “You are not here to shrink down to less, but to blossom into more of who you really are” (Oprah). Join us for Is Finance Ready for the Cloud?
