Commentary
The treasury function in banks and corporations is transforming due to organizational change, regulatory mandates and a requirement for more sophisticated modeling and analysis tools.
For treasurers, this means increased pressure to stretch time and resources in order to do more with less. Technology plays a fundamental role in making the existence of the treasurer less stressful and more efficient. Keys to success for today’s treasurer include the abilities to centralize and aggregate information, optimize processes, such as payment flows, and perform detailed risk management analysis.
