From 40+ Excel spreadsheets to monthly forecasts in seven days
e-regio moved its entire planning process – from profit centre and cost centre planning to integrated P&L, cash flow and balance sheet – out of Excel and into Jedox. What used to take six weeks and happened just twice a year is now a monthly routine completed in seven working days. The key wasn’t just the tool: the controlling team was actively involved in building the solution, which meant the knowledge stayed in-house from day one.
Will AI replace the CFO? Not quite.
Agentic AI is fundamentally reshaping the finance function – faster than most people expect. CFO Kyanush Kay and Jochen Heßler (bdg) discuss the reality of Excel, the AI hype, and what it all means for the CFO role.

In this article, we outline a pragmatic 5-step approach that significantly increases the likelihood of success for your AI project – regardless of your industry.
