Two predictions from Deloitte’s Finance 2025: Digital transformation in Finance1 should cause those who work in digital finance to take note in regards to reporting:

  1. “With operations automated, finance will double down on business insights and service. Success is not assured.
  2. Finance goes real-time. Periodic reporting will no longer drive operations and decisions – if it ever did.”

If your organization is struggling to analyze masses of data quickly enough to report in real-time, there is artificial intelligence that can help, particularly in the form of natural language generation, or, NLG.

RPA is no longer enough

Robotic Processing Automation (RPA) was critical to the early stages of digital transformation in digital finance, but now it is a bare essential. Digital finance departments need more than RPA; they need an integrated platform that can rapidly analyze massive amounts of data and deliver articulate insights in real-time. Data for data’s sake is meaningless, and even insights on their own are not enough. Tableau users know this already and are looking for more.

Visual dashboards aren’t enough

Tableau dashboards deliver beautiful, data-backed visuals, and there are more insights that can be revealed. These deeper insights have, until recently, required a series of deep-dive drill downs, which take time and require expertise. The dashboard visuals on their own must be interpreted, and that interpretation by humans is not always precise. Lack of precision in digital finance is risky. This is where Arria NLG can help.
