Rapid tech innovations, dynamic customer demands and a global pandemic – We live in a world that is volatile and susceptible to disruptions. Leaders today need to know sooner, act faster, and adapt more quickly to changing business conditions.
To that end, the value of planning and analysis has never been more crucial. Businesses may have made decisions in the past using spreadsheets, siloed procedures, and unlinked end-to-end systems. However, with the emergence of digitisation and constant volatility of the market, these traditional ways may now lead to more delays, errors, and frustrations.
DigitalCFO & Jedox jointly organised a physical CFO Executive Roundtable discussion with more than 10 senior finance leaders sharing valuable insights with each other.

How Digital Securities By ADDX Are Changing Corporate Finance
This case study examines what digital commercial papers are, what gap they fill in the current corporate financing landscape, as well as the long-term implications if this instrument becomes widely accepted among issuers and investors. | ||
 ADDX is your entry into private market investing. It lets you invest in private equities, hedge funds, unicorns, and other private market opportunities. We've even made them accessible at a far lower entry cost. Private markets have long excluded most people. We don't think that's fair, and we're here to change that. If we succeed in building a financial market that allows capital to flow freely through equal access to investors, we have a shot at creating a world where everybody can access financial ecosystems – easily, fairly, and safely. | ||

Consolidation is a foundational element of any corporate performance management solution today. Improved management reporting, for example, which is cited as a primary driver in two-thirds of all CPM/BPM projects, relies heavily on consolidation functionality. Larger and medium-sized enterprises that seek to improve their financial consolidation are usually aiming to trade up from legacy systems, separate and weakly integrated applications, and/or Excel processes.
It’s common that a specific pain point drives Finance to consider upgrading financial consolidation, and then a larger vision of how to leverage the upgrade takes shape. We encourage companies to define the vision clearly and extend it as far as practical, because this tends to bring the most extensive benefits.
This whitepaper recommends a set of ten key criteria for selecting a consolidation solution and gives real-life examples of several major companies that “took consolidation to the next level”.

APIs (application programming interfaces) are the firepower behind many of today’s most popular online products and services, connecting and exchanging data between applications and web servers. An API is a set of software code and definitions that describe how two or more applications can interact and communicate with one another. Developers use APIs as a shortcut to quickly and efficiently integrate their applications with other software. Once implemented, applications exchange data with each other by making ‘API calls’, pushing and pulling information between themselves in real-time. Organisations offer APIs to developers – who could be employees, customers or third parties – as a way of increasing the speed and efficiency of developing new applications that work their software.
SWIFT has been a leader in unlocking the potential of APIs for years having launched their first API in 2017. Since then, adoption and usage of the SWIFT API channel has grown significantly with more than two billion API calls made over SWIFT in 2020 – a 120% increase year-on-year.
The ‘Be part of SWIFT’s open API revolution’ paper explores in detail:
- APIs and the platform economy
- Tapping into the power of APIs in financial services
- Overcoming a key industry challenge: A Fragmented API Environment
- Harnessing the power of APIs for the SWIFT community
- APIs: At the heart of SWIFT’s strategy
- Starting your API journey with SWIFT
- The APIs available on SWIFT

With an estimated 1.9 billion Muslims around the world – nearly a quarter of the global population and the largest religious group in the world – the opportunity and necessity of Islamic finance is evident. This relatively new banking sector has been around for roughly 40 years, and given how young the industry is, it demonstrates a huge potential and scope for evolution.
To get better insight into how this industry can develop, Mambu conducted a global survey of 2,000 members of the younger Muslim community (Gen Z and millennials) to understand what Islamic finance means to them, as well as their expectations of this sector.
Key Beliefs Include:
- You shouldn’t make money from money –
essentially, a system that is ‘interest free’
- Your money should not cause harm, meaning
Islamic financial services should not invest in
things like alcohol, tobacco and gambling.
- Islamic finance encourages partnership
(Mudarabah), in which partners share in the
profits and losses of an enterprise.

Leading medical technology company, Siemens Healthineers, was looking to automate its highly manual order entry process to free up Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) from time-consuming, low-value tasks and facilitate order management, regardless of order type or format.
Siemens Healthineers Italy turned to Esker to automate, standardize and streamline its order management process, and ensure full compatibility with NSO.
Prior to Esker, only 8% of orders were automated. Today, Siemens Healthineers automates 85% of received orders, with 93% of order fields correctly identified by the solution.
