"At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), the finance function is becoming the proving ground for enterprise AI. The finance organization at HPE ( No. 143 on the Fortune 500) used to revolve around a weekly ritual: a 90-minute Monday Operational Performance Review fueled by more than 100 pages of PowerPoint and hundreds of hours of manual preparation across the business. That call was the "heartbeat of the company," and finance was the "back engine" orchestrating every data point, Marie Myers, EVP and CFO of HPE, told Fortune."
"Partnering with Deloitte, the team co-developed CFO Insights, an AI-powered solution built on Deloitte's Zora AI platform and running on HPE's Private Cloud AI infrastructure. Inside HPE, the system has a more personal name: "Alfred," a nod to Batman's trusted butler. For Myers, Alfred is more than a tool; it's a platform to rethink how finance operates and how a CFO leads. CFO Insights has cut HPE's financial reporting cycle time by about 40% and processing costs by at least 25%, while driving more focused discussions around operational performance."
Hewlett Packard Enterprise transformed its finance function from a manual, presentation-driven process to an AI-enabled operating model. The previous 90-minute Monday Operational Performance Review relied on over 100 pages of PowerPoint and hundreds of hours of preparation. Finance centralized preparation in a single FP&A organization to create a clean data and workflow foundation. The team partnered with Deloitte to build CFO Insights on the Zora AI platform running on HPE Private Cloud AI, internally called "Alfred." Alfred delivers faster access to data, self-service natural-language queries, and shifted focus toward proactive, insight-driven decision-making.
