Content

Many companies are currently working intensively on the changeover to SAP S/4HANA. Hardly any other topic is currently moving IT departments more. A changeover of the ERP system is also of great importance for treasury departments.

Treasury departments have to deal with this situation, regardless of whether SAP has been used in treasury to date. Because: Changes will occur for everyone - even if you use your own treasury management system (TMS): At least the interfaces and data sources will change.

Many companies are using the changeover to S/4HANA to integrate their system landscape more closely. In this respect, the question of system support in treasury also arises anew. This can be an opportunity to make treasury processes more efficient with a new or optimized system solution. In this seminar, you will learn what opportunities this situation offers you and what you should look out for.

Our SAP Treasury seminars are organizedn cooperation with experienced implementers in cooperation with experienced implementers.

This seminar will be held in Zurich in English.
