• The role of the finance department has evolved rapidly over the
past decade.
• With greater access to data and more powerful tools to analyze
that data, the expectations of finance have moved well beyond
managing cashflow, income statements, and balance sheets.
• Finance can now be the hub of all data across all company
departments. With real-time data access, finance can make
enterprises more agile, and with powerful new technology like
business intelligence and predictive analysis, finance can drive
better decision-making than ever before.

In today’s economy, executives need to make smart decisions fast, see opportunities where competitors haven’t, and continuously innovate to create advantage. While e-commerce, IoT devices, and social media are creating an unprecedented volume of data, organizations wrestle with disparate systems, silo’d infrastructure, and fractured decision-making. As a result, companies fail to recognize opportunity, manage risks, and create value.

Truefirms

In today's rapidly changing digital market, businesses continually search for ways to remain ahead of the competition and encourage creativity. IT staff augmentation has become a very common method. But what does augmentation of the IT staff actually mean? In simple terms, it refers to the process of augmenting your own IT staff by temporarily employing outside experts in the field. For companies that need to increase their IT capabilities quickly but don't want to make the costly investment of hiring full-time employees, IT staff augmentation services offer a flexible answer. Businesses can access a huge talent and resource pool to help their efforts to transform themselves by using the skills and knowledge of outside experts.

CFOs need real-time insight, context around data, and collaboration capabilities to take their business to the next level.

Time to-market starts with you

Backbase

Too often, banks calculate the value of software solutions on their time to market. The quicker the solution goes live, the better the ROI. But what banks keep missing, is the value of their time-to-decision. In many situations, the dreadful and highly political decision-making processes during the Request for Information (RFI) phase, takes longer than actually implementing the software. Therefore, time-to-market goes both ways.

During this webinar, we discussed how to potentially mitigate the impact of the state and local tax (SALT) cap at the federal level. New York State has joined the list of states that have enacted an elective pass-through entity tax in an effort to do just that. We also dove into the possibility of changing residency to a low-tax or no-tax state. With state tax rates on the rise in some places and the realization that remote work is doable, many individuals are contemplating making a move. To succeed in making a change like this, one must be aware of the technical rules and be willing to significantly adjust one’s life. We talked through all these considerations.
