Redefining corporate treasury 

Already many of the latest technologies are being used in the corporate treasury department:

• Big data, e.g. Cashforce in their comprehensive cash flow forecasting functionality
• Business intelligence, e.g. in supply chain finance 
• Artificial intelligence, e.g. in payment collection services
• Robotics Process Automation, e.g. in moving and converting data.

 These technologies are starting to be integrated into your cloud-based TMS, but when they are fully exploited your TMS will become a whole new paradigm as to what the treasury management system represents and what the corporate treasury department will be expected to do. Already there are working prototypes which are awesome, they will redefine the corporate treasury function.

CTMfile take: No wonder Aite Group refer to TMS as Treasury Intelligence Systems, but we ain't seen nothing yet as they will become so much more.
