Is Your Treasury Management System Over Sold or Underutilized (and how to tell)?

presented by 
Bruce Lynn, Managing Partner, The Financial Executives Consulting Group LLC  (The FECG LLC)
and
Daniel Melski, VP Finance & Treasurer, Church & Dwight Co., Inc.

Many surveys by the AFP and others have shown that TMSs are pervasive within most large companies.

These same surveys have also shown a dissatisfaction with the “product”; for example, companies with a TMS continue to use and depend on 1980s technology (i.e. spreadsheets) to execute many treasury functions.

During this presentation the speakers will explore possible reasons why a TMS is not delivering as promised.

While it is often convenient to blame shortcomings on a vendor’s offerings or service, the presenters will discuss how their experiences have revealed that Treasury, and even other financial functions within a company, must assume some responsibility for a TMS’s inability to produce the desired outcomes.

By the end of the presentation you will learn:

1.    How to create a business case for acquiring the “right” TMS in 2021

2.    How to increase the ROI for treasuries that have already acquired a TMS

3.    Why optimizing the ROI inherent in treasury technology will require a company to adopt a multi-dimensional view about its profitability, liquidity and risk so that all users across the company understand the capabilities and limitations of technology
