Other information

Starting from the actual products and services Finance is to deliver, COI considers primarily the ‘production processes’ Finance is to execute. Finance’s services include various reports and business insights, which are based upon data and information ultimately sourced from the business lines and sectors and transformed with the latest in (GEN AI) analytics.

The associated E2E processes consist of many data flows, processed today through different applications and data warehouses as well as end-user-computing tools such as Excel and PowerPoint. Parties in this process communicate through different means and use meetings as their primary alignment within the matrix/network organization that they are part of. All these aspects, which together contribute to the ‘assembly line’, can and need to be improved enabling ASML to scale out further.
