Insights from ADAPT’s latest CFO Edge research, capturing perspectives from the region’s leading finance executives. CFOs are redefining technology investment and ROI, while playing a key role in digital, AI, and cloud strategies and decisions.

As organisations rethink their growth ambitions and apply greater scrutiny to technology spend, CFOs are moving beyond cost control to become architects of business value.

Finance leaders are no longer signing off budgets from the sidelines – they are shaping the digital roadmap itself, with growing influence over AI adoption, cloud modernisation, and automation decisions. Their goal is clear: to link every dollar of digital investment to measurable enterprise outcomes.

Yet most still find it difficult to quantify technology’s real impact. Legacy systems, fragmented data, and disconnected KPIs continue to cloud visibility between transformation and tangible business value.

For technology providers, this marks an important shift in engagement. Join us for this year’s last ADAPT Analyst Market Briefing, where we unpack how CFOs are redefining the metrics of digital success. You’ll gain access to exclusive, client-only research and insights to refine your strategy, align with mission-critical priorities of finance leaders and position your solutions as strategic investments.
