CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and business leaders face unprecedented challenges in 2021. Companies are under intense pressure to increase digital-first investments while revenue growth and margins remain highly volatile. The pandemic exposed new risks and spotlighted new opportunities. While some industries are aiming to stabilize their core businesses and reignite growth, others are seeking ways to sustain and expand recent successes. All organizations, regardless of business circumstances are looking for intelligent tools and approaches that can improve execution, optimize efficiency, and monetize new business opportunities. In this environment, innovation in Quote-to-Cash can translate into tangible near-term results. The Monetize Forum aims to help organizations identify intelligent strategies, best practices, new tools, and partnerships to drive success in Quote-to-Cash. This two-day event brings together leading industry analysts and business, finance and technology executives as well as the top echelon of software suppliers and implementation partners.
Monetize Forum 2021 took place virtually on January 19th and 21st.
