We cover all aspects of the Corporate Treasury functions: Cash Management, Electronic Banking, Cash Flow Forecasting, Investment Management, Short and Long-Term Debt, Foreign Exchange, Derivatives and Market Risk Management.

Our implementation methodology has been proven through multiple successful implementations of SAP and other leading solutions. It includes project management, deliverables management, reengineering of related business processes, evaluation of configuration alternatives against user requirements, definition of functional specifications for custom developments, configuration of the redesigned processes, interfaces, unit and integration testing, end-user training, ongoing quality assurance, knowledge transfer, preparation for production and post-implementation support.

#SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY

SYSTEM SELECTION (RFP/RFI)

We recognize that even though treasury functions are similar across industries, there are several critical and distinct factors that affect the specific needs of each company.

Additionally, there are a variety of treasury software solutions in the market – ranging from small, specialized boutique tools to complex, all-encompassing ERP packages - each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Our expertise can be invaluable in assessing degree of fit between the market and your requirements. In addition, we can help determine when and how mixing solutions from several vendors may make sense.

IAM Treasury will guide you through the critical steps of a system selection, from requirement definition through preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Information (RFI) and the evaluation of vendors. With this approach, we provide detailed analyses and recommendations that help you select the best solution for your needs.

TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY

We can work with you to bridge the gap between the current state of your systems and architecture and a target environment that will support your operational vision.

Our approach aligns your IT and treasury strategies through systematic evaluation of the current system environment, definition of functional and technology requirements and development of a vision for the future environment.
