Date: Wednesday 27th January

Time: 18:00 – 22:00

Location: Frameless, London

Finance leaders are under increasing pressure to modernise operations, improve visibility and create organisations that are ready for future growth.

Join Hitachi Solutions, Microsoft and transformation leaders for an exclusive executive evening exploring the foundations of successful finance transformation. Through real-world experiences, practical lessons and peer discussion, we’ll examine what separates successful programmes from those that fall short, and how organisations can build the right foundations for long-term success in an increasingly AI-enabled future.

With over 20 years of experience delivering finance and operational transformation programmes, Hitachi Solutions helps organisations build the foundations required for sustainable business change. As a Microsoft specialist, Microsoft Finance Partner of the Year and member of Microsoft’s AI Circle, we work closely with Microsoft to help organisations modernise finance and operations while preparing for what’s next.

Together, we’ll explore why modern ERP, trusted data, strong governance and organisational alignment remain critical to successful finance transformation, and how emerging technologies such as AI and agentic business processes are creating new opportunities for organisations that are ready to take advantage of them.
