Webinar: Creating the connected treasury: a blueprint for transformation, sponsored by Agicap.
March 12th 2024 | 9am ET, 2pm GMT, 3pm CMT
Data connectivity between business units, treasury and banks, through ERP systems is the secret to efficient cash management, forecasting and planning. Seeing and knowing the cash balances of businesses in near real time, allows creating the forecast, managing short term liquidity and activating working capital effectively and efficiently. Connecting the ERP directly to banking portals via APIs, can enable two way communication between liquidity providers and treasury, enabling the execution of payables and receivables, whilst generating data for cash management and forecasting. Yet the process of connecting business and treasury data systems via the ERP is often unique in each company, as differing legacy systems and software, as well as reporting requirements present data integration challenges.
In this webinar we explore how finance and treasury teams seek to connect systems and data into a holistic suite of cash management, liquidity planning and forecasting modules via the ERP and discuss the challenges and benefits in creating a connected treasury.
