Content
Setting up a modern treasury system landscape offers immense advantages in terms of automation, transparency and security - but is also associated with a number of challenges. We will show you what state-of-the-art treasury system landscapes look like, what functions treasury management systems (TMS) offer, and how to implement them successfully. We not only look at the functions in the areas of cash management, payment transactions, instrument management and risk management, but also examine the question of how the processes must be designed in order to be mapped by the system.

Targets
The aim of the seminar is to familiarize participants with the functional scope of current treasury systems. The focus is always on the user perspective and the question of how current and future requirements can best be covered by a TMS.
Feedback from our customers
I liked the presentation of SLG's approach to such projects. In particular, the information on tendering and scoping was very valuable to me. Before the seminar, I lacked the strategy to get from the long to the short list of vendors for my company. Mr. Stegmüller filled this gap perfectly.
