IA & EPM
AI for financial performance management
Machine Learning AI can help management controllers automate the analysis of financial data, detect hidden trends and optimize budget forecasts. It enables faster, more accurate decision-making, improves the monitoring of performance indicators, and reduces risk through advanced predictive analysis.
The arrival of high-performance generative AI is forcing finance departments to rethink the efficiency of their tasks and processes. Micropole supports them in exploring new use cases: building chatbots capable of querying EPM data, automating the generation of financial reports, and much more.
