Real Time Visibility. Embedded Intelligence. Anytime, Anywhere. 

Today’s advanced technologies are transforming finance for the 21st century, turning finance into a strategic partner in mission delivery. True real-time visibility, enhanced with predictive capabilities, turns finance’s focus to the road ahead instead of the rear-view mirror. Embedded intelligence turbocharges employee productivity, presenting key information needed for decision making without requiring them to seek it out. Modernized, intuitive user experience allows efficient execution of business functions at the desktop or on mobile devices. Delivery through the cloud in an as-a-service model relieves agency resources from the non-mission-related tasks of maintaining finance systems and ensures up-to-date, secure, reliable, audit-ready, and highly performant technology to support the finance function.

Modernizing financial management is about more than moving yesterday’s financial systems to a secure and modern technological platform. It’s about employing machine learning and robotic process automation to free finance staff from non-value-added, repetitive tasks. It’s about predicting the impacts of changing conditions on agency finances and maximizing the impact of each taxpayer dollar in accomplishing agency missions. It’s about ensuring transparent and accountable government program and service delivery.

On December 11, 2018, we heard from government and industry leaders who are at the forefront of this innovation as government leadership, executives, program managers and others assemble in Washington, D.C. to explore the next generation of federal financial management. Watch the recorded videos of each session below - this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
