AI’s impact on the future of finance
SAP Insights commissioned TRENDONE GmbH to study trends in the field of artificial intelligence that would be expected to have an effect on the business processes within the finance department of a typical midsized-to-large company. Using input from SAP subject matter experts, we created a framework of financial process capabilities (in other words, the jobs-to-be-done). Then TRENDONE applied a proprietary scouting method of trend search and analysis, screening examples of innovations, and clustering technologies being applied to various use cases. This produced a set of trends that, having been vetted with SAP subject matter experts, were merged into the five core themes highlighted here.
