Choosing a treasury management system (TMS) is a big decision. Though the advent of cloud-based systems has made the process considerably less laborious, it’s still a major undertaking for any treasury department. And what if you choose a system that ultimately isn’t right for your organization? That’s a lot of time and money down the drain—and possibly your job with it.

The latest Treasury in Practice Guide, underwritten by Kyriba, explores the ins and outs of selecting a TMS. Treasury professionals share their stories about selecting new systems, and provide best practices about the RFP process, dealing directly with the vendors, and implementation. By the end, you should have a better idea of what to do when it’s your time to pick out that shiny new treasury management system.

Selecting a treasury system may very well be the most important decision in a practitioner’s career, so it’s important to do your due diligence. Stay focused on the functionality that you need the most. We are in a new era now in which treasury departments can move to a new system that will last them for five to ten years or more—not because they can’t afford to move to something else, but because that system will be routinely upgraded.
