Connected Data Architecture for Modern Finance Teams
Build on your understanding of data and AI workflows to design a connected architecture that supports reporting, forecasting, automation and scale.
Shape Your Digital Decision Making
This workshop shows finance teams how to move beyond disconnected spreadsheets and siloed systems to create a unified data environment. You will learn how data flows across the organisation, how to structure it for reliable reporting, and how connected architecture supports automation, forecasting and AI adoption. The session translates technical concepts into practical, finance-led decisions leaders can make without becoming data engineers.
