The COVID-19 crisis has triggered an acceleration in the adoption of finance technologies. Nilly Essaides, senior research director of finance, EPM and FinOps and Bill Marchionni, senior director, finance advisor at The Hackett Group, continue our segment on 2021 Key Issues identified in their survey and give us their insights on aggressive growth projections for several tools and solutions, the top growth areas for finance digital transformation and more.
