A few of the promised benefits of moving to a cloud ERP system include fewer technical requirements, support at all times, and reallocating company resources to value-added activities. This includes cost savings based on decommissioning IT network hardware and shifting system support from an internal resource to cloud system provider. One of the main roadblocks of these benefits is the technical integration to banking partners. These cloud ERP solutions provide technical tools but drop the development, configuration, and support of these complex integrations to the client. Many Cloud ERP clients now look to move payment processing to an independent Cloud based solution that provides real-time, internet-based communication with banks and other financial institutions to simplify support activity. Join this session for an overview of Banking Connectivity platforms to help streamline ERP Migration and fill in the gaps left by current SaaS ERP Platforms for Treasury needs.

With ever changing turmoil in world economies, looming depression or recessions, inflation, and rate volatility, it has become even more important to have the techniques, tools, and processes available to be able to forecast short- and long-term cash and liquidity needs. Cash Forecasting as a tool is critical to financial liquidity management and analysis for the best use of an organization’s resources.
Rapidly rising interest rates, market and world volatility, the need to manage exposure and cashflow have been thrust to the forefront of many companies. With a prolonged period of record low interest and borrowing rates, there has been less focus on liquidity and cash forecasting. This session will discuss best practices, tools, and techniques to maximize an organization’s ability to leverage and improve their Cash Forecasting techniques.
