Moving finance toward agentic automation

Finance teams are under pressure to work smarter, not harder. Persistent inefficiencies in processes and manual workflows, growing compliance demands and the need to scale during global expansion make it harder to meet shareholder expectations. These challenges slow decision-making, increase costs and create operational bottlenecks.

That’s where IBM® watsonx Orchestrate® steps in. With customizable AI agents for finance, your teams can automate repetitive tasks, accelerate planning cycles and surface insights faster—freeing up time for higher-value work. Whether it’s streamlining order-to-cash or improving forecasting accuracy, these agents bring AI to where work happens.
