Client success stories

Jet Aviation operates in one of the world's most precision-driven industries. Yet in 2022, its accounts payable function was running on manual approvals, inconsistent tools, and physical stamps across multiple regions. Something had to change.

In this session, Patrick Burri, Finance Transformation Director at Jet Aviation AG, shares how Basware helped the business replace a fragmented, multi-ERP AP operation with a single, standardized approach to invoice lifecycle management, all while a global SAP S/4HANA migration was underway.

Patrick will walk through why Jet Aviation chose Basware over SAP's native tools, how Basware's clean core approach kept the S/4HANA program on track, and the visibility and control the business now has across Americas, EMEA, and APAC.

If you are navigating a major ERP transformation and wrestling with where AP fits in that picture, this session will show you what good looks like.

The future of finance is autonomous, but you cannot build AI on top of spreadsheets. To unlock the promise of Agentic AI and predictive analytics, Finance leaders must first secure their data foundation and automate the "last mile" of the financial close.

In this session, BlackLine and Global Blue share a practical blueprint for this journey. Learn how Global Blue moved from manual interventions to a modern, exception-based operating model. We will discuss how automating core accounting tasks is not just an efficiency play—it is the strategic enabler that empowers your talent to shift focus from data entry to data analysis and value creation.

  • Google shares insights on the transformation with the finance department at Alphabet
  • Value levers for the CFO Department and the firm are discussed
  • Google cloud provides a high level overview and demo of its agentic and platform capabilities
Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is at a critical transformation point, with 58% of global CFOs ranking it as the finance area that needs to transform the most.  This session explores how the integration of Agentic AI into core financial processes is unlocking limitless decision intelligence and boundless exploration.  To highlight the real-world impact of Agentic AI, this session features a practical case study from TX Group and how by leveraging the Planning Agent they shifted its FP&A team from "chasing numbers" to conducting high-value analysis.

CFO Survey Switzerland

Swiss companies remain optimistic about their business prospects, despite the strong Swiss franc and rising energy and procurement costs putting pressure on margins. However, more companies are able to pass on their higher costs to customers than in autumn. Geopolitical risks, potential demand weakness and currency risks are the greatest challenges. Trade turbulence is affecting 64% of companies, with 15% severely impacted. CFOs expect artificial intelligence in the finance function to deliver overall cost savings, particularly in labour costs, but also anticipate higher spending on IT and technology.
