In today’s landscape, there is a significant shift in the market moving from on-premise software treasury solutions towards cloud-based treasury management solution alternatives. Taking the proactive approach to designing a thoroughly thought out plan for your organization’s cloud journey is key to implementation success.
Treasury Management Trends and The Cloud TMS
Part of understanding Treasury Management Solution (TMS) trends and Cloud includes taking stock of current procedures and systems. Key factors to consider in a treasury process redesign include letting the Treasury Management System drive the process design, having detailed cross-functional mapping, and agreement on guiding principles and treasury process attributes.

- Cost: what are the one-time and ongoing costs associated with each product?
- Reporting: how is it able to meet leadership and regulatory reporting requirements?
- Integration & Customizations: what is the level of cost and effort to integrate to other business-critical systems?
- Change Management: Is organizational readiness for systematic changes?
- Data Conversion: what effort and cost is required to move or convert historical data?
Architecture: how do we ensure the architecture is built to support long-term growth?
