How to gain the best out of a co-operated TMS and the TIS payment platform

Added value or redundancy? The typical Treasury Management System (TMS) — SWIFT connected, multiuser and loaded with functionality – is a marvel of modern technology.

Yet many of these same treasuries also integrate specialist solutions for bank account management, foreign exchange, payments and other tasks with their TMS. From a technology standpoint this is a simple matter, little different from adding an additional module of functionality from the TMS vendor. From a business perspective this suggests that many treasurers see superior functionality beyond what’s offered in their TMS. To get this upgrade treasury must make the business case for acquiring and implementing a system when more limited functionality may already be included in their TMS license and possibly that of their ERP as well.
