CCH Tagetik

In this lab-style session, delivered by Delbridge in partnership with CCH Tagetik, In this lab-style session, delivered by Delbridge in partnership with CCH Tagetik, attendees will get practical experience using CCH Tagetik AI to clean data, spot issues, and build predictive forecasts that actually support faster decision-making. Working in a guided sandbox, you’ll see how AI-powered automation can take on the repetitive work of data mapping and anomaly detection, flagging outliers and inconsistencies so controllers and FP&A teams can focus on analysis instead of hunting for errors. From there, we’ll walk through configuring predictive forecasts that respond instantly to changing assumptions, using AI to surface hidden trends and scenario impacts across revenue, cost, and key operational drivers. You’ll also get hands-on time with Tagetik’s GenAI assistant: asking natural-language questions (e.g., “Show last quarter’s product revenue by BU vs. forecast”) and turning the answers into presentation-ready outputs for leadership.

Prophix - Finance 2026: Solving the Data Challenge and Unlocking Real AI Impact

Finance teams today face a “here-to-there predicament” in the AI era: macro trends point to rapid adoption of intelligent automation, yet most organizations still lack the clean, reliable data needed to realize meaningful AI outcomes. The 2026 CPM Trend Monitor highlights Data Management as the top priority for CPM users because most vendors haven’t solved integration—still relying on consultants, IT, or middleware to stitch together fragmented systems. This session explores how Prophix is breaking that pattern with a Data-First platform strategy and a practical, use-case–driven approach to AI built on trust and transparency. Rather than chasing hype, Prophix uses AI to intelligently ingest and govern financial data, enabling organizations to adopt agentic workflows, predictive insights, and autonomous operations with confidence, and to finally move from aspiration to measurable impact.
