Marie Myers, EVP and CFO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, views agentic AI as a pivotal advancement following robotic process automation (RPA) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. At HPE, she focuses on integrating AI into finance, piloting Deloitte's Zora AI, starting with operational reporting. Training on AI has been implemented for many employees, emphasizing that quality governance and appropriate talent are essential for AI's effective adoption in finance.
Myers describes agentic AI as "the biggest unlock for finance since RPA and ERPs [enterprise resource planning systems]."
The main metric HPE is tracking is productivity, with focuses on operational reporting and predictive forecasting.
Data quality and governance are probably the biggest inhibitors to getting started with AI implementation.
