Process Assessment/System Selection Webinar: Watch Now

In some cases, business processes may be improved through optimization of existing technology and enhanced user training. In other cases, organizations may have simply outgrown their processes and/or systems. In this webinar, recorded on January 24^th, leaders in AAFCPAs’ Business Process & IT Consulting practice provide insight for CFOs contemplating a change in their operations with new processes or technology.

You could not transition seamlessly to a remote-work environment.
Your processes are highly manual, and Excel is the backbone.
Your team struggles to complete reports.
You have many disparate information sources, and no or minimal integration.
Your existing system is not capable of supporting process design changes.
You need features beyond what your current system is providing.
The system you are using is no longer supported by the vendor.
You cannot get the data you need when you need it in order to make timely actionable decisions.

Webinar Objectives

Understand how to assess your processes and systems to determine if a new system is required.
Understand how to approach a system selection to ensure you identify the right system that meets all your requirements, including budget.
