"FP&A Software is Dead" Leading FP&A Software Provider Datarails Declares, Introducing the Finance Operating System for the AI Era

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 10, 2026--

Signaling a major industry shift, leading FP&A software provider Datarails has declared that traditional FP&A software is dead, as AI-era finance teams increasingly demand speed, flexibility and the ability to leverage modern AI tools – something closed enterprise software was never designed to provide. Datarails has released FinanceOS, an AI-ready financial operating system that enables companies to consolidate and collect all of their financial and operational data in one place, including critical controls CFOs rely on – like audit trails, permissions, and governance. Then – assured that their numbers are unified, real-time, and fully governed – finance teams of any size can harness the world’s most advanced AI engines and agents, including Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gamma, Lovable, and Base44, to execute virtually unlimited financial workflows. This could include financial reports, generating board-ready presentations, deploying AR agents, running live forecasts and scenario analysis, automating month-end close processes, and orchestrating complex finance operations with accuracy and control.

This operational layer, the ongoing connection between the database and its outputs, addresses one of the biggest barriers to AI adoption in finance. According to Gartner's AI in Finance Survey, AI adoption in the finance function has flatlined – moving just one point, from 58% in 2024 to 59% in 2025 while 91% report low impact from using AI tools – with data quality and availability cited as the most common obstacles. CFOs can throw data into any AI tool of their choice, yet that data loses all audit trails, compliance, governance and other critical information. The data is also static, meaning that the outputs created with AI tools are only as reliable and up-to-date as the data they were fed. The operating system solves these issues, providing consolidated, live, undisputed and fully auditable data infrastructure they can use AI to build upon.

“You no longer need traditional FP&A tools to build models or run analysis. AI engines like Claude in Excel can generate sophisticated financial models in seconds,” said Didi Gurfinkel, CEO and Co-Founder of Datarails. “But intelligence is no longer the limit – infrastructure is. Without a governed operating layer, those models cannot run on real-time, accurate, and fully auditable data in a secure, controlled environment. FinanceOS provides the operational layer that makes AI-driven finance reliable and scalable.”

Available to finance teams of any size through a flexible, usage-based pricing model, Datarails FinanceOS can be fully operational within a few business days. It is built on the same proven infrastructure that powers Datarails’ FP&A, Cash Management, Month-End Close, and Spend Control products – solutions trusted by thousands of companies worldwide – and Datarails remains deeply committed to continuing to invest in and enhance these core capabilities.

Datarails will partner closely with customers of FinanceOS, providing ongoing training, design, enablement, and access to the latest AI advancements. In addition, Datarails offers optional professional services to design and develop custom agents and workflows tailored to each organization’s needs – ensuring finance teams can adopt AI safely, confidently, and at their own pace.

Using FinanceOS, finance teams can connect to over 400 data sources – including ERP, CRM, HRIS, payroll, and billing systems, from NetSuite, SAP, and Sage to Salesforce, HubSpot, BambooHR, and industry-specific specialist platforms. FinanceOS securely connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, Cursor, Replit, Gamma, Manus, and other leading AI tools. Real-time consolidation ensures data is refreshed across the environment within seconds of updates, while role-based permissions and compliance with SOC 2, and GDPR, provide enterprise-grade security, governance, and control.

“A thriving open ecosystem will accelerate AI adoption in finance faster than any single vendor could achieve alone,” said Gurfinkel. “Every time a team builds on top of their FinanceOS – whether that's a pre-built platform, a vibe-coded solution, an open source template, or something that doesn't exist yet – the more the industry moves forward.”

LONDON (AP) — Two Jewish men were stabbed and injured in a London street on Wednesday, in what politicians and community leaders called the city's latest antisemitic attack. Police arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.

Counterterror police are investigating whether the stabbings in the Golders Green neighborhood are linked to recent arson attacks on synagogues and other Jewish sites in the British capital. This attack has not been declared an act of terrorism.

“Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said.

The security organization Shomrim said a suspect “was seen running along Golders Green Road armed with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public." It said the suspect was detained by Shomrim members before being arrested by police, who used a stun gun on him.

Surveillance camera footage showed a man beside a bus stop donning a kippah, or traditional skullcap, before a passerby with a knife lunges at him.

The Metropolitan Police said the victims, a man in his 30s and one in his 70s, were hospitalized in stable condition. The force said the suspect also tried to stab police officers, but none was injured.

Police said they are working to establish the suspect's nationality and background, and Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said “investigators are considering all possible motives.”

Arson attacks in recent weeks targeted Jewish sites in London, including a charity's ambulances in Golders Green and a synagogue a few miles (kilometers) away.

“It happens in Israel, but happening on our own doorstep, of course it’s shocking,” said Golders Green resident Moishe Grunfeld. “I have kids, I have grandchildren.”

Britain’s Jewish community is long-established but tiny as a percentage of the population, numbering about 300,000. The northwest London suburb of Golders Green is one of its epicenters, home to kosher restaurants, Jewish schools and several dozen synagogues, as well as large Asian and Middle Eastern communities.

“There must be absolutely no place for antisemitism in society,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said.

No one was injured in the arson incidents. Several people, ranging in age from teens to people in their 40s, have been arrested and charged.

Counterterror officers are investigating whether the arson attacks were the work of Iranian proxies. The U.K. has accused Iran of using criminal proxies to conduct attacks on European soil targeting opposition media outlets and the Jewish community. Britain’s MI5 domestic intelligence service says more than 20 “potentially lethal” Iran-backed plots were disrupted in the year ending in October.

Britain’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said Jews face a campaign of violence and intimidation and that words of condemnation are no longer sufficient.

“This must be a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community, every leader and every decent person in our country. This is a hatred that we must face down together," he said.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the world must “wake up” to a rising wave of anti-Jewish hatred.

“In one of the great capital cities of the West, it has become dangerous to openly walk the streets as a Jew,” Herzog posted on X. “This is an unacceptable situation.”

The number of antisemitic incidents reported across the U.K. has soared since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel and the subsequent Gaza war, according to the Community Security Trust. The group recorded 3,700 incidents in 2025, up from 1,662 in 2022.

In October 2025, an attacker drove his car into people gathered outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur and stabbed one person to death. Another person died during the attack after being inadvertently shot by police.
