Key findings include:
 Automation of the finance function is advancing.
 An elite group of automation “Masters” is leading
the way.
 Bottom-line benefits are the priority today, but
anticipated gains—if realized—could be
transformative.
 A joined-up approach to automation is more likely
to be effective.
 For the most advanced, legacy technologies are
the main impediment.

We surveyed 500 senior finance
executives in Europe and North
America, across five industry sectors.

The research
Capgemini asked 500 senior finance executives in Europe and North America and across five sectors about
automation in the finance function.
We found that the automation objectives of many firms stretch far beyond the transactional. First is the digital
transformation of the finance function itself; second is the elevation of its role in the business to a provider of
insights that drive value.
For the purposes of this study, automation is defined
as the application of technologies such as robotic
process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence
(AI), machine learning, and chatbots.
Within the finance function, automation lends itself to
numerous processes, such as invoicing, order
management, payments, journal entry, and many more.
In this context, the term “robot” typically denotes a
software program that drives the automated
execution of a process.
Defining automation
FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 5
Intelligent automation technologies and techniques
such as AI, RPA, and machine learning are pushing
automation on to the agenda of CEOs in most
industries—and not just to boost efficiency.
About four in 10 survey respondents say their
organization has an enterprise-wide strategy in
place for automation. They expect it to lead to:
 Greater productivity and reduced operating costs
in areas where repetitive processes dominate
 More informed decision making
 Better business insights
 Increased sales
 Greater customer satisfaction
Nearly seven in 10 respondents see the potential for
finance processes to be fully or nearly fully
automated within three years (see Figure 1).
And 43% of finance executives believe that
automation could transform the finance function
from scorekeeper into strategic business partner.
Why automate?
Finance leaders’ expectations of automation are
high. More than half of the survey group—56%—
believe it will be a high-impact development
or the finance function, affecting many of its
workloads.
FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 6
26% of the sample are ahead of the rest in the
automation of finance processes. They have an agreed
transformation strategy in place to guide finance
automation and have fully or partly automated the
processes covered in the survey (see Figure 2).
The Novices, meanwhile, are the 18% that have no plans
for a finance automation strategy—or have plans but no
strategy yet.
This affects growth: 26% of Masters have had revenue
growth of 10% or higher over the past three years,
compared with only 6% of Novices.
The Masters: Who is best in class?
Masters are more likely to be found in
North America than in Europe. They are most
prevalent among consumer products companies
and least prevalent among firms in the financial
services sector.

We’re still in the early stages of this, so we
are looking at things that are business-rule
driven.”

Financial Services and Systems, Staples
What is getting automated?
Many companies are choosing to take an iterative
approach to automation, starting with the processes
that should be easiest to automate.
Why? This approach:
 Provides straightforward and relatively risk-free
opportunities to test and pilot newly acquired
automation technologies
 Means that success in building efficiency and
driving costs out of such processes will help to
make the business case for later, more ambitious
stages of automation.
Perhaps more than other functions, finance involves
the types of repetitive processes, such as accounts
payable, that lend themselves to optimization
through automation.
These processes tend to be where
automation starts.
FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 8
Masters are automating more than Novices and more than the overall survey sample. Seven in 10, have
fully or nearly fully automated their queries-handling and payments processes, compared with half of the
overall sample and barely 40% of Novices (see Figure 6).
For many, transaction processing is currently the focus for automation. Other finance teams are automating
across a wide range of processes (see Figures 7 and 8).
FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 9
An enterprise-wide approach
More than eight in 10 Masters—85%, who by definition have
a finance automation strategy—say that the business as a
whole is also pursuing such a strategy (see Figure 9). And
considerably more Masters indicate that automation is led at
enterprise level by a dedicated team (see Figure 10).
Bit by bit
Many finance teams are taking an iterative approach: pilot,
proof of concept, deployment in one or two transaction
processes, and then a staged rollout to other process
categories.
We will start small, and build the planning
capability on top of that, and then we will grow that
out across the function over the next several years.

Two other, interrelated challenges of automation are high on companies’ lists (see Figure 13).
One of these is security. But strong governance systems could enable automation to enhance systems and
data security.
Another perceived risk of automation is automated processes going wrong. Several executives we interviewed
say that senior company management is afraid of losing control of key financial processes once large numbers
of robots are deployed.
Strong governance and control is the most effective antidote. For example, human intervention could be
mandatory for certain types of sensitive transactions such as large payments. And robots themselves need to
be monitored and managed.
A premium on governance
A whole series of programs are in
place to audit, monitor, and improve
our cybersecurity defenses. Any
new initiative, including RPA, must
go through that testing process to
ensure that no vulnerabilities are
being introduced.

1. About half of the companies have fully or nearly fully automated individual processes such as queries
handling and payments. Just under half say the same of cash reconciliation, order management, and
invoice raising.
2. A group of automation “Masters” has fully or partly automated these processes. They are confident
about expected returns from automation. More than half (58%) expect automation to generate
maximum benefits for them within three years, compared with just 32% of Novices.
3. Masters expect automation to help finance provide value to other parts of the business. For example,
60% expect that in three years’ time automation will be helping them to improve their customers’
experience, and 55% say it will be helping to unlock new insights that drive value for the business.
4. Masters’ finance automation is closely integrated with enterprise-wide automation efforts, and 85%
say the business as a whole is also pursuing an automation strategy.
5. For the Masters, legacy technologies are the main obstacle to automation. The greater a finance
team’s automation progress, the more likely it is to be satisfactorily addressing talent and skills
challenges but to be running up against technology blockages.
6. About two-thirds (65%) of the Masters say that automation is more advanced in finance than other
functions, and 54% say that finance should play a leading role in driving automation in the
organization. For Masters, finance looks likely to take on an influential role in digital transformation.

Our key findings

1. Think automation first. If it is worth changing the process, it is worth thinking about how to change
it sustainably and how automation can help improve outcomes.
2. Standardize to the hilt. Organizations need to review their processes before automating to remove
any differences that have crept in over time. They should not see automation as a solution to areas
where they have failed to standardize.
3. Automate at your own pace, but not in isolation. Keep other departments (beyond IT) updated
on finance’s progress with automation.
4. Be iterative, but think big. Firms with globalized finance may find it useful to roll out pilots across
every region from the start. Plan for AI and machine learning to eventually drive many processes.
5. Generate knowledge from the data. The most effective robots are underpinned by intelligent
knowledge management. Data storage and retrieval are key and should be centralized. Applying AI
techniques to knowledge management will give robots more powerful capabilities.

it. Senior finance leaders need to communicate clearly. They should not minimize redeployment
prospects, but they should emphasize opportunities for higher-value, more rewarding work.

5 senses changes how we transform
Traditionally we managed process
design through process mapping. We
paid a lot of attention to capturing all
the detail – and trying to standardize
and move to best practice by
eliminating waste.
Now we use the 5 senses to re-
imagine finance operations.
We take more of design thinking
approach and think how we would
automate first to achieve benefits of
automation. Rather than the classic
deconstruction of process steps we
map the activity to the components of
the 5 senses.

Building an automation-led transformation program is not
just about technology
Record to Analyze
New controller needs to be able to
explore how to use technology to
monitor and analyse
transactions. R2A professionals
need to use interaction tools to
connect better with the business
to understand their questions and
provide better answers.
As automation takes over the basic,
repetitive work, todays’ collectors
should focus on building and
leveraging strategic relationships
within the customer base to
navigate through complex issues.
Credit to Cash
The role of P2P moves away from
manual processing to exception
handling and knowledge capture.
It’s more about analyzing
transactions to improve business
performance.

All rights reserved. 4 The research Capgemini asked 500 senior finance executives in Europe and North America and across five sectors about automation in the finance function. We found that the automation objectives of many firms stretch far beyond the transactional. First is the digital transformation of the finance function itself; second is the elevation of its role in the business to a provider of insights that drive value. For the purposes of this study, automation is defined as the application of technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and chatbots. Within the finance function, automation lends itself to numerous processes, such as invoicing, order management, payments, journal entry, and many more. In this context, the term “robot” typically denotes a software program that drives the automated execution of a process. Defining automation
  • 5. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 5 Intelligent automation technologies and techniques such as AI, RPA, and machine learning are pushing automation on to the agenda of CEOs in most industries—and not just to boost efficiency. About four in 10 survey respondents say their organization has an enterprise-wide strategy in place for automation. They expect it to lead to:  Greater productivity and reduced operating costs in areas where repetitive processes dominate  More informed decision making  Better business insights  Increased sales  Greater customer satisfaction Nearly seven in 10 respondents see the potential for finance processes to be fully or nearly fully automated within three years (see Figure 1). And 43% of finance executives believe that automation could transform the finance function from scorekeeper into strategic business partner. Why automate? Finance leaders’ expectations of automation are high. More than half of the survey group—56%— believe it will be a high-impact development or the finance function, affecting many of its workloads.
  • 6. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 6 26% of the sample are ahead of the rest in the automation of finance processes. They have an agreed transformation strategy in place to guide finance automation and have fully or partly automated the processes covered in the survey (see Figure 2). The Novices, meanwhile, are the 18% that have no plans for a finance automation strategy—or have plans but no strategy yet. This affects growth: 26% of Masters have had revenue growth of 10% or higher over the past three years, compared with only 6% of Novices. The Masters: Who is best in class? Masters are more likely to be found in North America than in Europe. They are most prevalent among consumer products companies and least prevalent among firms in the financial services sector.
  • 7. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 7 We’re still in the early stages of this, so we are looking at things that are business-rule driven.” Violet Desilets, Vice President, Financial Services and Systems, Staples What is getting automated? Many companies are choosing to take an iterative approach to automation, starting with the processes that should be easiest to automate. Why? This approach:  Provides straightforward and relatively risk-free opportunities to test and pilot newly acquired automation technologies  Means that success in building efficiency and driving costs out of such processes will help to make the business case for later, more ambitious stages of automation. Perhaps more than other functions, finance involves the types of repetitive processes, such as accounts payable, that lend themselves to optimization through automation. These processes tend to be where automation starts.
  • 8. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 8 Masters are automating more than Novices and more than the overall survey sample. Seven in 10, have fully or nearly fully automated their queries-handling and payments processes, compared with half of the overall sample and barely 40% of Novices (see Figure 6). For many, transaction processing is currently the focus for automation. Other finance teams are automating across a wide range of processes (see Figures 7 and 8).
  • 9. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 9 An enterprise-wide approach More than eight in 10 Masters—85%, who by definition have a finance automation strategy—say that the business as a whole is also pursuing such a strategy (see Figure 9). And considerably more Masters indicate that automation is led at enterprise level by a dedicated team (see Figure 10). Bit by bit Many finance teams are taking an iterative approach: pilot, proof of concept, deployment in one or two transaction processes, and then a staged rollout to other process categories. We will start small, and build the planning capability on top of that, and then we will grow that out across the function over the next several years. Thomas Newman, Director of Solutions Development, General Mills Roads to transformation
  • 10. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 10 Two other, interrelated challenges of automation are high on companies’ lists (see Figure 13). One of these is security. But strong governance systems could enable automation to enhance systems and data security. Another perceived risk of automation is automated processes going wrong. Several executives we interviewed say that senior company management is afraid of losing control of key financial processes once large numbers of robots are deployed. Strong governance and control is the most effective antidote. For example, human intervention could be mandatory for certain types of sensitive transactions such as large payments. And robots themselves need to be monitored and managed. A premium on governance A whole series of programs are in place to audit, monitor, and improve our cybersecurity defenses. Any new initiative, including RPA, must go through that testing process to ensure that no vulnerabilities are being introduced. Thomas Peyton, Vice President, Service Excellence, Wolters Kluwer
  • 11. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 11 1. About half of the companies have fully or nearly fully automated individual processes such as queries handling and payments. Just under half say the same of cash reconciliation, order management, and invoice raising. 2. A group of automation “Masters” has fully or partly automated these processes. They are confident about expected returns from automation. More than half (58%) expect automation to generate maximum benefits for them within three years, compared with just 32% of Novices. 3. Masters expect automation to help finance provide value to other parts of the business. For example, 60% expect that in three years’ time automation will be helping them to improve their customers’ experience, and 55% say it will be helping to unlock new insights that drive value for the business. 4. Masters’ finance automation is closely integrated with enterprise-wide automation efforts, and 85% say the business as a whole is also pursuing an automation strategy. 5. For the Masters, legacy technologies are the main obstacle to automation. The greater a finance team’s automation progress, the more likely it is to be satisfactorily addressing talent and skills challenges but to be running up against technology blockages. 6. About two-thirds (65%) of the Masters say that automation is more advanced in finance than other functions, and 54% say that finance should play a leading role in driving automation in the organization. For Masters, finance looks likely to take on an influential role in digital transformation. 1.

  • 12. FPIA @ CBA| September 2018 © 2018 Capgemini. All rights reserved. 12 1. Think automation first. If it is worth changing the process, it is worth thinking about how to change it sustainably and how automation can help improve outcomes. 2. Standardize to the hilt. Organizations need to review their processes before automating to remove any differences that have crept in over time. They should not see automation as a solution to areas where they have failed to standardize. 3. Automate at your own pace, but not in isolation. Keep other departments (beyond IT) updated on finance’s progress with automation. 4. Be iterative, but think big. Firms with globalized finance may find it useful to roll out pilots across every region from the start. Plan for AI and machine learning to eventually drive many processes. 5. Generate knowledge from the data. The most effective robots are underpinned by intelligent knowledge management. Data storage and retrieval are key and should be centralized. Applying AI techniques to knowledge management will give robots more powerful capabilities. 1. Think automation first.

Senior finance leaders need to communicate clearly. They should not minimize redeployment prospects, but they should emphasize opportunities for higher-value, more rewarding work. Eyes on the bigger prize: lessons from the Masters

We paid a lot of attention to capturing all the detail – and trying to standardize and move to best practice by eliminating waste. Now we use the 5 senses to re- imagine finance operations. We take more of design thinking approach and think how we would automate first to achieve benefits of automation. Rather than the classic deconstruction of process steps we map the activity to the components of the 5 senses. Process mapping Agile Design Thinking

Notas do Editor

  1. 1: Interact (talk / listen) The ability to listen, read, talk, write and respond to users of the IA solution. The aim here is for technology to ensure that the interaction feels intuitive and the customer is happy. Examples in this space include chatbots and voicebots. 2: Monitor (watch) Here technology is used to watch and record key business data. It is used to create knowledge. This would include CCTV and IoT sensors. 3: Knowledge (remember) This is about being able to store and find information effectively using components like databases and search engines. This is probably the least developed area within corporations, but examples include Wikipedia and employee’s hard drives. 4: Analyze (think) This is the ability to detect patterns and recognise trends. It applies algorithms to knowledge to determine appropriate action or predict future consequences 5: Service (act) This area uses technology to take action. We are used to the concept of Robots working on an assembly line and now they are moving into the office.
