Often dubbed as the ‘change agents’ for an organisation, CIOs today are entrusted with the most important task of leveraging technology for a company’s success. Right technology implementation is the nub for accelerating the profitability of an organisation.
With the advent of digital transformation, CIOs are curating their technology roadmap and leaving no stone unturned to check the tech trends and ride on the latest technology bandwagon.
According to Gartner CIO agenda survey, about 51% CIOs are taking charge of innovation and 49% are heading digital transformation. Large scale digital transformations take 3-5 years on average to yield significant results.
Business expense automation is one of the most crucial areas of digital transformation. About 95% of companies have standardized processes, but still organizations are losing huge amount of money owing to frauds.
The need of the hour is one such solution that promises to provide a lot of benefits for minimal cost. At the same time, since the traditional methods have been working well for decades, why would businesses move away from such established systems and opt for automated expense management?
