Commentary from Keynote Speakers
"With the continued growth, success and positive feedback we have received from our annual Host Analytics World event, 'The Future of Finance Tour' was a natural next step in providing financial leaders with the tools and information they need to stay at the top of their game," said Ian Charles, CFO at Host Analytics. "We are extremely excited at the prospect of hitting the road to help organizations succeed whether they are already a Host Analytics customer or simply curious to learn more about the benefits of cloud-based EPM."

"I'm excited to join Host Analytics for 'The Future of Finance Tour' and even more excited for what attendees will learn," said Steve Player, Managing Director at The Player Group. "The finance organizations I work with are achieving amazing results and increasing their own strategic capabilities while lowering their costs using rolling forecasts, visual analytics, and a more dynamic approach to EPM. I can't wait to share those insights and give attendees compelling, practical suggestions that they can apply immediately in their own organizations."

"There's a different conversation I hear now with CFOs and CEOs," says Brian Sommer, Founder of Vital Analysis and Contributing Writer for ZDNet. "They aren't interested in minor changes -- they want to modernize Finance. They want people, processes and systems designed for new ways of planning, reporting, etc. They want to get out of maintaining systems, month-old data and too many error-prone spreadsheets and move into a world where huge volumes of data are influencing operational and financial decisions in real-time. It takes no effort for finance to stay rooted in the past -- it takes vision to move it ahead."
