Inconsistent definitions, hierarchies, metrics, and KPIs across the finance, marketing, sales, and product development teams led to endless data wrangling and churn; resulting in widespread “shadow finance” and multiple versions of the truth. Sound familiar? Microsoft Finance’s response to this challenge was a company-wide process and change management effort to create trusted data that was widely available, enabling finance to focus on delivering insight instead of managing data. Learn how they did it, and how you can assess how to improve your own business data strategy.

Learning Objectives
- Understand common challenges facing finance teams to reduce manual work and build trust with business partners stemming from ineffective and non-centralized data management approaches.

- Learn how Microsoft implemented an aligned data management framework to create a common data language across multiple functions to increase efficiency and deliver greater insight.
