Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with CIOs and CDAOs across industries and geographies, from Gartner C-level communities to strategic customer partnerships to executive roundtables. Despite differences in maturity, size, and industry, the themes are remarkably consistent. Organizations feel pressure to move faster with AI They are challenged with scaling…
For the past decade, the relationship between engineering and finance has been defined by a convenient truce. As long as interest rates were near zero and growth was the primary directive, the CFO was willing to treat R&D as a black box. The mandate was simple: hire the best engineers, adopt the fastest methodologies and…
What happens when finance finally stops treating modernization as a set of disconnected projects and starts running like a single, continuous system? If 2025 was the year experimentation with AI spiked, 2026 is the year finance leaders turn that energy into operating reality. The pressure is even higher for faster cycles, sharper insight, lower risk,…
Something subtle is happening in Accounting departments. The anxiety that used to define month-end, the scramble, the spreadsheets, the waiting, is giving way to steadier, more predictable work. The reason is a structural change known as continuous close, a model that spreads reconciliations and validations across the month instead of concentrating them in one exhausting…
AI adoption is the new baseline for staying competitive in a data-driven world. But organizations that deploy AI without proper governance and cultural readiness often find themselves wasting time and resources on costly proof-of-concepts that never make it into production. This guide provides a practical, step-by-step framework to help organizations embrace AI responsibly and scale…
Three years. $80 million. A complete migration to AWS. And your credit risk team is still exporting data to Excel to build exposure reports. This paradox of modern infrastructure paired with legacy workflows defines the state of cloud transformation in financial services. Banks, insurers, and asset managers have moved massive volumes of data to the cloud.…
It’s tempting to think of AI as a new frontier requiring new rules. But in many ways, the principles of data readiness remain unchanged. Clean, well-structured, and well-documented data has always been critical to deriving insights. The difference now is that machines, rather than humans, are increasingly consuming and acting on that data, often in…
파이낸셜타임스(FT) 보도에 따르면, 아마존은 화요일 엔지니어링 회의를 소집해 AI 도구 사용과 연관된 “일련의 장애 사태(a spate of outages)”를 논의한 것으로 전해졌다. FT는 의무 참석 회의를 위해 작성된 브리핑 노트를 인용해, 아마존이 최근 몇 달간 “영향 범위가 크고(high blast radius), 생성형 AI 지원 변경(gen-AI assisted changes)이 수반된 사건이 증가하는 추세(trend of incidents)”가 있었다고 밝혔다고 전했다. 해당…

지난해 AI에 대규모 투자가 이뤄졌지만, 실제로 측정 가능한 성과를 낸 기업은 많지 않았다. PwC의 2026년 1월 글로벌 CEO 설문조사에 따르면 CEO의 56%는 지난 12개월 동안 AI로 매출이 늘거나 비용이 줄었다고 답하지 않았다. 가트너 조사도 비슷하다. AI로 비용을 절감했다는 CFO는 5%, 매출이 증가했다는 CFO는 6%에 그쳤다. 그렇다면 이런 저조한 수치의 배경에는 무엇이 있을까? 중고차 유통 기업…
