How Should a CFO Be Looking at Data?

It was a relatively short time ago that databases played only administrative roles in most companies. Today, needless to say, data is fundamental to most companies’ very products. Where the CFO of old looked at databases mostly from a budget-approval standpoint, the modern CFO is also a frequent and regular departmental consumer of data. Meanwhile, these databases have enabled the “as-a-Service-ing”‘ of countless industries.

SaaS models, in all their flavors, emphasize repeatability at scale, and they rely on large, complex databases to keep demanding customers happy. They also contain the record of your strategic performance.

Should the modern CFO be thinking even more broadly than she currently is?
