In today’s demanding environment where CFO’s are
expected to play a Quasi – CEO’s role, the ability to separate
the clutter from what is ‘essential’ becomes critical. IT when
leveraged skillfully plays a strong partner role to the CEO and
the CFO. In this blog, Virender shares a new concept of
‘Workspaces’ developed by Ramco and the significance of
Workspaces in delivering information to the CFO’s in a simple,
visual mode with the ability for the CFO to be able to identify
and work on ‘red flags’ well in advance.

In today’s scenario, with the number of emerging challenges
that a CFO has to deal with – globalization, diversity and
changes in regulations, stakeholder management, risk
management and reporting, it is becoming increasingly
important to run a competitive finance function that can help
deal with the above.
This can only be achieved with a highly productive &
performance driven environment that can continuously guide
the business with sound, well-grounded numbers and related
details; a responsibility that percolates down the hierarchy to

everyone in the function including the middle, junior
management and all the executive personnel.
We, at Ramco recognize this and have introduced a new
concept of ‘Workspaces’ aimed at ‘Empowering a role to
perform at his very best, delivering optimal productivity and
performance!’
Our ‘Workspaces’ provides various functions and roles with a
unique and completely refreshed user experience model
steered by a data driven interaction pattern and powerful
visualizations. The work-spaces do away with a typical
software usage experience of menus and screens; instead
completely focusing around data and the actions.
A workspace presents actionable data and alerts in the form
of a To-do / exception list. The key information together with
the possible actions is presented for various situations
necessitating further actions. Also, embedded within them
are operational metrics that can aid in effective decision
support as well as serve as a means for a continuous
assessment and improvement. The designs are created with a

no-clutter philosophy with access to minutiae available on
demand.
With an increasing complex environment and a myriad of
challenges for the function, this sure will help simplify life. As
an aid to work prioritizing and effectively managing
information flows, a user will be able to accomplish much
more for less.
Overall, they strive to provide a stress free experience by
presenting the most needed information for a given context
and an option to seamlessly drill-thro’ to other enterprise
functions and processes to access more information
In the current context, where Finance has evolved, from
being traditionally viewed as a controlling role to, being
viewed as an enabling role; powerful tools such as
Workspaces can be a huge assistance for providing that deep
visibility to operations and decision making.
With continuous evolution in technology and related
advancements, there is a growing pressure on the CFO and

his team to continuously evaluate the benefits and return of
an IT system, the associated risks of data, obsolescence,
security breaches etc. It is my firm view however that
furthering the productivity & efficiency improvements for the
finance function is and will always be a top consideration for
a finance leadership to convert this to an organizations’
advantage!
