Abstract:: Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) software enables the office of the CFO to gain better insight into business performance and make timely business decisions based on today's market demands. However, significant costs and challenges impair a business's ability to derive optimum value from its critical applications on a timely, predictable, accurate and consistent basis. This white paper describes the challenges in connecting and managing an ecosystem of finance related applications, and illustrates a new approach called Application Process Automation. It addresses the most critical priorities facing finance organizations:

- Improving financial close processes for faster and more accurate visibility
- Predictable, and reliable, continuous planning and forecasting processes
- Compliant finance systems and processes
- Cost-effectively managing and integrating heterogeneous finance applications and BI tools from multiple vendors
