Surviving Today’s Technology Complexity, One CAO’s True Story
Michael Smith, CAO, Tyler Technologies
Requirements in the back office have grown exponentially while reporting deadlines remain fixed. New accounting standards, ASC606 and ASC 842, and new business models, such as the subscription economy and IoT, are driving this change. Technology is the answer, but the game has changed significantly. The “Cloud” was to provide new benefits but brings new challenges. Instead of delivering insight to leadership, finance teams are forced to direct time to overcome these technology challenges. Old models for automating no longer apply, and finance leaders must embrace new approaches to avoid significant risks to the business.
