Successful Digital Transformation Requires New Breed of CFO, Sage Study Shows
ATLANTA, Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sage, the market leader in cloud business management solutions, today released a survey report detailing the impact of digital transformation on the finance department. The “CFO 3.0 – Digital Transformation Beyond Financial Management” report found that 98% of CFOs say their job has significantly changed in the past five years, with three-quarters citing that they now play a critical role in driving digitalization across their organizations. While the majority of CFOs are open to embracing emerging technologies, a large majority (82%) believe their organization’s culture is not ready for the introduction of more automated technologies and 79% are still concerned that the emergence of AI will impact their job security.
Nearly half (46%) of CFOs are facing increased demand to provide overall business counsel. Additional factors driving the changing CFO role include the availability of real-time data and increased compliance and regulation requirements, as well as the expansion of the role beyond financial management to include functions like IT and cybersecurity.
“The modern CFO is evolving from being a backwards-looking number collector to a trailblazing strategic leader who uses data and emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, to create a vision for the future of their business,” said Marc Linden, Sage EVP and GM of Medium Segment Native Cloud Solutions. “The digitalization of business is fundamentally changing the way finance leaders work and embracing technological evolution will separate the leaders from the laggards in this new era. However, a lack of cultural readiness in the office of finance may slow adoption of new technology and hinder achieving optimal results with any digital transformation.”
Embracing Emerging Technologies
While there may be a perception that finance professionals are conservative and risk-averse when it comes to acknowledging the value of emerging technologies, the Sage report reveals quite the opposite. Nine in 10 (91%) noted that they believe the introduction of AI into the workplace to be a positive advancement, while 93% admit to being comfortable with automation performing more of their day-to-day accounting tasks in the future.
The enthusiasm behind introducing new innovations is, in part, being driven by the benefits finance leaders are already seeing. Approximately three-quarters (76%) of financial decision-makers currently drive digital transformation in their business. In addition, more than nine in 10 (94%) agree that financial management solutions are helping their teams optimize operations, while 92% believe these efforts can help automate and streamline the compliance process.
“CFOs have access to the most important data in the business and the insights pulled from this data are critical to driving the company forward,” said Marie-Helene Simard-Brown, CFO, Costa Farms. “Data such as inventory management, compliance changes and financial forecasting must be set up and gathered properly in order to glean the right insights and operational efficiencies. This creates a real opportunity for CFOs to be innovation ‘change agents’ in the digitalization journey of the business.”
Overcoming Uncertainty, Training Talent, and Convincing the Culture
The Sage report also indicates that while financial professionals recognize the value of emerging technologies, the organizations they work for are not necessarily ready, and require additional training and education:
- Only one in four (26%) believe their business is currently on the cutting edge
- Nearly one third (32%) identify digital skills as a key gap in their organization
- Four out of five (83%) finance leaders believe their teams currently lack the skills to optimize the effectiveness of any AI rollout
- 82% believe the culture of their organization isn’t yet ready for the introduction of more automated technologies
The study also reveals that despite financial professionals themselves believing in emerging technologies, it is not without some hesitations around how they will be personally impacted. More than three quarters (79%) admit to being concerned about how the increased use of automation will impact their job security, and 76% are worried about the potential bias AI solutions could inadvertently bring to the workplace.
“Company culture plays a vital role in the effective integration of any technology,” said Nancy Harris, Managing Director, Sage North America. “As CFOs are driving digital transformation forward, they must not overlook the critical role they play in ensuring teams have the skills necessary to optimize these solutions and allaying any misperceptions and fears about AI and automation across the wider organization.”

About the Survey
Sage commissioned the online survey, which interviewed 500 senior in-house financial decision-makers, including CFOs, finance directors, accountants, and controllers across the United States. The industries represented fell across five broad verticals: professional, scientific & technical services (19%), finance, insurance & real estate (25%), healthcare & not for profit (20%), hospitality (15%) and manufacturing (21%). Approximately 85% of respondents were from firms with between 100 and 499 employees, while the remainder were from firms with between 20 and 99 employees.

Synthetik Applied Technologies LLC announces development of UrbanScale – a modeling platform for the prediction, characterization, and quantification of extreme urban heat
AUSTIN, Texas and LONDON, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Synthetik Applied Technologies announces the development of UrbanScale, a tool to model and predict effects of extreme heat in urban areas, through a project funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). The physical characteristics of urban areas amplify heat effects resulting in what are known as urban heat islands — areas where surface temperatures are much higher than their surroundings. The UrbanScale tool addresses this climate peril with sophisticated analytic tools based on physics informed neural networks and cutting-edge machine learning to predict urban heat and help better understand and mitigate the risks associated with these extreme heat events. As a result of climate change, these events are expected to increase, impacting both the people that live in urban areas and the infrastructure on which they depend.
The UrbanScale platform shows significant promise to provide data on the severity of heat islands and their effects to better understand how they impact human health, energy use and damage to physical infrastructure. This information will provide a step-change in capability for government agencies, urban planners, and transportation authorities to direct efforts for mitigation and intervention. In particular, inclusion of demographic information into data pipelines will allow understanding of how urban heat effects may impact vulnerable or disadvantaged populations. Integration with climate forecasts and models will also provide unprecedented capabilities for forecasting risk associated with climate change.
Josh Hatfield, Director of Research and Development at Synthetik, said:
‘We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to study such an important issue. Extreme heat is already the largest cause of weather-related fatalities in the US, and climate change will only increase the importance of understanding heat in urban environments. Helping to meet that challenge fits directly into Synthetik’s mission.’
Synthetik COO Tim Brewer commented:
‘The UrbanScale tool will allow both our government and insurance partners to better characterize the risk of extreme heat in urban centers and promises to deliver critical insight on the way these events impact energy demands. We look forward to exploring its wide-ranging applications.’
Synthetik plans further development of UrbanScale with NOAA and other partners in the public and private sector.
