A successful implementation and go-live was delivered within a tight deadline
Enhanced workflow practices and improved reporting capabilities within treasury operations
Significantly improved vendor response time and issue resolution
The Challenge
Heritage Bank was seeking a replacement for their Treasury Management System which had been their primary treasury platform for ten years. The replacement had to be implemented within a tight operational deadline to ensure a seamless transition to a new system.
The Solution
Heritage had a TMS in place for 10 years and had to decide whether to upgrade it or implement an alternative solution. Heritage’s key requirements were for a vendor that could provide a TMS capable of supporting a bank treasury and their strict requirements around operational controls and best practice system integration. The bank was also looking for a vendor that would provide a high level of service when the treasury team required support in their day to day activities.
After a comprehensive evaluation process, Heritage selected GTreasury due to the following reasons:
- A demonstrable track record in the bank treasury market.
- A robust platform for managing treasury investments
and workflows. - An integration framework to achieve STP with Heritage’s
system architecture. - A proven strategy and tools to effect a smooth migration
project.
Selecting GTreasury has helped us take a fresh look at our treasury workflow operations with a view to increasing efficiencies whilst maintaining the core integrity of our processes. The system has fit seamlessly into our core banking and accounting platforms and has made data more accessible.
