The Digital Elephant And The CFO

Digital transformation is not new, and most companies have been on a digital journey since the 1990s. The digital transformation came in many forms -- Web, Web 2.0, SaaS, cloud, mobile, business intelligence, and big data for starters. Digital touches every operational aspect of a business in a similar way that the CFO role does. Eating this new digital elephant is a massive undertaking for any business. In the next two years, the CFO may well be the driver of this evolution of digital -- analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI).
