Introducing the Finance Target Architecture Series

Finance is under pressure like never before. Beyond accurate bookkeeping, modern finance functions are expected to deliver real-time insights, faster closes, and predictive forecasts — all while ensuring compliance and auditability.

To achieve this, organizations need more than just an ERP upgrade. They need a target architecture that ties together core finance systems, reporting tools, data hubs, and analytics into a coherent, governed whole.

This blog series will explore:

  • Why target architectures matter for finance
  • How ERP, reporting, and BI fit together
  • The role of data hubs and master data management
  • Practical design principles for resilient, future-ready finance
  • A roadmap from “as-is” to “to-be”

The first article will lay out a target architecture for finance and explain how its components interact. Follow-up posts will dive deeper into governance, design blueprints, and logical data architectures.

Stay tuned!
