At this specialist conference, which is aimed at practitioners in controlling and accounting, possibilities for automation in finance and planning departments were shown – for example in data research on the Internet, statistics updated through process automation.
Heimo Losbichler, head of the university of applied sciences and organizer of the conference entitled “You only recognize a good helmsman in a storm”, spoke of a gradual farewell to the currently most used program Excel.
Finance Minister Magnus Brunner came just in time to get inspiration for the administration. “A few applications come to mind immediately,” he said in his subsequent presentation.
The minister asked the number people in the audience to understand that not all of the government’s aid measures were accurate. Brunner just referred to the poor database and the difficulty of linking it across departments. Work is currently underway to link tax data with other data. Brunner announced that this should be completed in the first quarter of 2023.
The CEO of Amag, Gerald Mayer, gave an insight into the complex planning processes of the aluminum group and the great financial leeway that the Ranshofners need. His company also needs security contributions – which caused Wien Energie to tumble when it traded on the stock exchange.
The representative of the paper industry, Franz Hiesinger from MM Karton, advised the audience of 220 to react quickly and consistently to changed costs and not to wait too long while people slip into the red.
