What the Press is Saying

Jedox’s momentum in AI-driven planning hasn’t gone unnoticed – industry press and analysts have been buzzing about Jedox throughout March 2024. Here’s a quick overview of how Jedox has been portrayed in recent media (with links to the original articles):
Finance Media on AI & Planning:

The piece noted that AI helps CFOs minimise risk with data-driven accuracy, run what-if scenarios in seconds (versus weeks), align spending with strategy via intelligent insights, and break down silos for unified, real-time planninglinkedin.com. In short, press consensus is that AI in planning is becoming a must-have for forward-looking CFOs – and Jedox is frequently cited as a key player in this trend.
Accountancy Press on AI Skills:
The CPA Now publication (by the Pennsylvania CPA Society) ran an article “Accounting in the Age of AI,” authored by Jedox CTO Vladislav Maličevićjedox.com. It emphasizes that “AI is here to stay” and explores the new demands this places on both up-and-coming accountants and seasoned finance leaders. Key takeaway: finance teams will need to adapt their skill sets – leveraging AI for automation while providing strategic guidance. Jedox’s perspective in the article underscores that marrying human expertise with AI tools (like Jedox’s AI-assist features) can free up professionals for more value-added analysis. This aligns with the broader media narrative that the role of finance is evolving in the age of AI, rather than being replaced by it.
Business Press on Data-Driven Culture: CEOworld Magazine (March 2024 issue) discussed the competitive advantage of building a data-driven culture. It pointed out that companies across industries are “drowning in data” and need better ways to turn data into decisionsjedox.com.

Similarly, Real-Time Insights magazine published “Digital Transformation: How AI Can Help CFOs,” noting that successful finance digital transformation uses powerful AI/ML tools to analyse large data volumes across the enterprisejedox.com. These articles reinforce Jedox’s messaging: adopting modern EPM software with AI capabilities is key to staying agile and competitive.
Analyst & Tech Press: Jedox’s recent Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader ranking also garnered press coverage. Tech outlets and blogs picked up the news, some noting that “Jedox’s commitment to continuous innovation and extended planning capabilities solidifies its market leadership”einpresswire.com.
