Following on from the success of our previous finance software sessions, this year’s event will offer an update on the latest developments for the sector, the state of the market, and will also examine some of the most common challenges that organisations experience when selecting and implementing a new finance system and associated software. Delegates will be invited to share experiences of software and suppliers as well as discussing examples of good practice for selecting and implementing the right solution for your organisation.
