Modularization and better integration with third-party applications are expanding financial management (FM) suite capabilities, accelerating adoption across the organizations of all sizes. FM suite vendors offer end-to-end solutions to meet the ever-growing demand, especially among small and midsize businesses. Solutions built on open standards with plug-and-play integration and those that offer great user experience are gaining market share. Leading vendors are investing in OCR, NLP, ML, and RPA to automate financial management processes and build an intelligent finance function.
These and other trends are explored in Avasant’s new Financial Management Suites 2020 RadarView™ report, which covers emerging trends in the market for FM suites. The report is a comprehensive study of FM suite vendors, including top trends, analysis, and a close look at the leaders, innovators, disruptors, and challengers in this space.
