Treasury systems have evolved from traditional front to back office solutions to specialized front office or mid office or back office solution. This has resulted in an increased focus on front office trade capture, better Risk Management due to increased market activity and back office trade processing. However, the treasury managers still face challenges when it comes to taking decisions for managing funding and liquidity. Some of these are:

• Leveraging of internal liquidity across branches&regions
• Managing of liquidity through simple structures like zero balance accounts or concentration accounts which frees up significant amounts of cash that can be invested elsewhere
• Decision support for timely & accurate cash flow forecasts and funding
• Understanding the dynamics of the underlying cash flows
• Utilize the availability of real time information on account balances to adjust the forecast
• Taking of intra-day corrective actions towards more precise multicurrency forecasting and optimizing funding requirements
