Let’s Get Agentic: Driving Finance Transformation

ABOUT THIS EVENT

An Exclusive Executive Roundtable with SAP, Deloitte & BlackLine

The future of accounting is rapidly shifting from passive automation to active autonomy. Today, finance leaders—regardless of their current ERP landscape—face a common, critical challenge: how to drive rapid digital modernization while maintaining absolute trust, control, and close-cycle continuity. Attempting to manage fragmented, manual accounting processes across legacy, cloud, or hybrid systems invites severe operational risks, from data integrity gaps to talent scarcity.

Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, freeing finance teams for strategic work. This exclusive executive roundtable explores how to leverage a platform-first, ERP-agnostic approach to build a highly resilient, future-proof finance function. Whether you are actively planning an ERP migration, managing hybrid ERP environments, or looking to maximize your existing system investments, you will discover how sequencing accounting automation ahead of major IT changes de-risks your transformation journey and secures your record-to-report (R2R) cycle.

At this intimate peer forum, you will learn to:

  1. Maintain close-cycle and R2R continuity during major digital transformations and ERP upgrades.
  2. Unify fragmented, siloed data across legacy, hybrid, or modern cloud ERP environments using an ERP-agnostic finance platform.
  3. Achieve the “gold standard” for record-to-report with a controlled, automated, and agentic financial close.
  4. Combat the finance talent crisis and change fatigue by automating manual exceptions, freeing up critical team members for strategic advisory roles.
  5. Establish “Clean Core” governance—leveraging best-in-class automated controls and continuous substantiation to keep your financial ledger audit-ready and upgrade-friendly.
