In this brief presentation, the speaker argues that finance teams should adopt a single, canonical file location that always points to the most recent version of a document, mirroring how large IT operations handle backups. Using an analogy where Amazon would create separate domains (amazonv1.com, amazonv2.com) for each backup, the speaker illustrates how proliferating versioned file paths would create confusion and inefficiency. The speaker contends that, unlike IT, finance often maintains multiple parallel copies of files, making it hard to know which version is current. The recommended solution is to keep archived copies immutable while ensuring a consistent, easily discoverable path that always references the latest file.
