What CFOs Need from Business Continuity Management Technology and Why Vendors Are Missing the Opportunity

This IDC Market Perspective describes what CFOs need from business continuity management (BCM) technology and why vendors are missing the opportunity. CFOs increasingly view BCM technology as essential for financial resilience, risk management, and stakeholder trust. They demand solutions that provide real-time financial impact analysis, integrate with enterprise risk platforms, enhance situational awareness, and ensure operational resilience across finance and supply chains. Vendors have a unique opportunity to position BCM as a strategic tool for protecting shareholder value and enabling informed decision-making. Advanced, integrated BCM technology can transform continuity planning into a competitive advantage in an unpredictable business environment."BCM isn't just compliance; it's the CFO's tool for safeguarding financial resilience, reducing risk, and turning unpredictability into strategic advantage." — Heather Herbst, research director, CFO Tech Agenda, IDC
