Treasury Systems
Selecting & implementing a Treasury Management System (TMS) is often a very challenging project for Corporate Treasury departments. Typically Corporate Treasurers will go through such a process once or twice in their life. The choice of a TMS is a structuring decision that will often become the cornerstone of the business processes (and the added-value) delivered by the Treasury department.
The adequate system will need to adapt to the environment and challenges the company is facing. It will need to allow automation of processes, enforcement of internal controls, agility in its ability to meet the ever changing reporting requirements, support the team in the compliance tasks,…
Choosing and implementing a TMS is not a walk in the park and therefore, relying on consultants that have significant experience in the selection and implementation of TMS can significantly increase the chances of success of such project.
O2 Finance helps you to:
- define the key requirements, prepare and manage the request for proposal process;
- bridge the communication gap between the system vendor & yourself;
- review TMS vendors offers & assist in decision-making process;
- manage the implementation project & assure quality in line with the originally defined benefits
- reinforce your treasury team during this intense and work intensive period
