Herein lies the importance of good governance around managing change.  Automated governance allows for an agile approach whilst ensuring all governing steps are followed - including change approvals, test and test result approvals, delivery to production approvals, and so on. Customers, employees, or business partners shouldn't be testing changes.  For those running SAP, you are in luck.  Automated change governance solutions have been available for decades and maturing year on year. #sap #automation #changecontrol

The Federal Budget headlines are here, but what truly matters to mid-sized businesses?

Fuel prices (49%), utilities (43%), and interest rates (43%) are their top concerns. - Innovation for Growth: While cautiously optimistic (63% believe the economy will improve📈), they seek measures that support digitization (36%) and national security (37%). - Red Tape Reduction is Crucial: Cutting red tape (36%) is a major priority, allowing them to scale and adapt more effectively🚀. What the Mid-Market Needs: - Streamlining Operations: Incentives to tackle rising fuel and utility costs, along with support for efficient business processes👌. - Investing in Innovation: Funding for digitisation initiatives and policies that foster growth in green technologies and national security sectors💡. - Less Bureaucracy, More Growth: A streamlined regulatory environment to free up resources and unlock their full potential🔓.

Episode #4 out of #6 of the Xero for Groups series is done ✅✅✅ Big shoutout to Emily Yanay of Airwallex, Michelle Kvello of Lantern Partners Pty Ltd and Scott Martin or XY Sense for sharing everything there is to know about Spend Management & FX! A classic line from Michelle that stood out to me was "the cost (of FX) is never marginal"! If you're working with overseas customers, hiring remote teams, or managing cash in other currencies - then its critical to have an appropriate spend management and cross-currency cash solution. The benefit you can get from a "natural hedge" by having a way to receive, hold, and spend in other currencies can absolutely be material. There are some amazing tools/apps out there, so if you've got this as a gap in your current techstack then its probably time to take a look! We didn't get too much into the Xero v ERP discussion today, but there was one really interesting call out that Michelle made: "For us and our clients, we haven't hit that point yet... where spend management is a reason for moving to an ERP.... In fact, its probably the other way around. There's other reasons that are pulling you in the direction of an ERP and your spend management is getting dragged with it, but you're actually losing some of the functionality..." Its a good reminder that although there are times when an ERP might be the only option, its almost never the all-round best solution. Xero and its ecosystem are best of breed in everyway. Flexible. Innovative. Easy-to-use. So unless you're forced to move, hang onto Xero as long as you can! Checkout CFO Techstack for more great insights ✌
