Yet for many institutional investors, access still lags opportunity: there has been no single, disciplined benchmark for capturing the GCC’s most investable listed companies.

Most CFOs have invested heavily in the technology that governs how their companies spend money. The software governing everything that happens after a deal is signed, how they invoice and collect, until recently, has been patchwork: held together with spreadsheets, professional services, and institutional patience.
