Global economic volatility has put the Financial Officers at center stage, playing a much broader role in the enterprise than ever before. Today's CFOs and Financial Officers face a range of conflicting challenges. Data needs to be accurate, yet quickly loaded; access to information needs to be ubiquitous, yet secure; and IT infrastructures need to remain stable for reasons of finance and compliance, yet must evolve.

Despite the constant need for the Business Leaders, CFOs, Financial and IT Officers to watch the bottom line, they are more focused on supporting business innovation than cutting costs.

The IDC Event is part of the IDC Big Data and Business Analytics Forum 2014 aiming at supporting business line managers to understand the value of investments in Business Intelligence Technologies. The event goal is to assist finance managers in understanding the opportunities, created by the adoption of ICT technologies as well as presenting business investment plans in IT in the next 5 to 10 years.

This event will help Business and Financial Leaders to drive sustainable and transformative change for growth and profitability. Based on insights from timely analysis of integrated financial and operational data, Business Leaders and CFOs are uniquely positioned to influence all parts of the enterprise to:

• Deliver operational excellence
• Innovate robust risk management and business models
• Secure access to capital and drive beneficial collaboration across the value chain.
