Infographic: Importance of Finance and IT Working Together

The critical need for Finance and IT Leaders to partner for success in the new world of work  

As organizations face the post-pandemic era, they are grappling with big changes to their operations and processes, while strategizing for future success. Finance and IT leaders are uniquely positioned to work together to help their organizations build the infrastructure needed to succeed in an ever-more connected world. According to recent Oxford Economics research, this is the great opportunity and challenge facing IT and finance executives today.

  • 47% of survey respondents agree the pandemic’s effects highlighted inefficient business processes 

  • 53% of survey respondents agree the pace of digital transformation at their organization is speeding up 

  • Only about 1/3 of finance executives say they have a unified strategy with IT to support business expansion
