Treasury
A treasury and risk management solution with a single, real-time view of cash positions, FX and commodity exposures
-
The Challenge
Many large enterprises have considerable exposure to currency volatility and commodity pricing risks throughout their supply chain. For treasurers of these organizations, it is a major challenge to optimize hedging activities – especially when key information is scattered across multiple systems and channeled through operational silos. Treasurers need a treasury and risk management system with real-time visibility into all aspects of the business in order to protect profit margins.
The Opportunity
By creating a single source of the truth to break down silos within the organization, treasurers can enhance visibility and mitigate risk throughout the enterprise.

Automate processes to implement best practices across the treasury department
ChallengeMany firms have historically implemented treasury services in an ad hoc fashion and must contend with multiple legacy systems and outside vendors that rely on inconsistent policies. These processes can be interpreted in different ways or not followed altogether, creating confusion.
SolutionThe Openlink Cloud solution can help you visually map business process workflows across the entire enterprise via point and click configuration (for applying payments properly, processes for setting up bank accounts or routing payments). You can also access any data captured by the system for that workflow (e.g., reference, trades, deals, accounting). Once created, these business processes can be executed consistently and monitored in real time for compliance.

Lower total cost of ownership by rationalizing systems
ChallengeMany companies have different systems for risk, treasury, debt management, hedge accounting, commodities procurement, credit and currency hedging. This approach can be costly both in time and money – and means managing and maintaining multiple systems, interfaces, reconciliations and paying multiple vendors along the way.
SolutionOpenlink provides a single fully-integrated platform for all treasury, debt and cash management, commodity procurement, liquidity, derivatives accounting, credit and risk management all rolled into a single database. With comprehensive information available across the enterprise, opportunities are easier to spot, reporting is accurate and data analysis and predictive modelling becomes possible.

Automate in-house banking to comply with corporate governance mandates
ChallengeToday, communications among offices within a large organization can be largely informal – via email and phone – with record-keeping based on spreadsheets. Requests for funds often arrive outside of normal business hours – yet have to wait for senior level approval during business hours. Firms are also increasingly looking to centralize global treasury operations while also providing in-house banking to divisions and subsidiaries.
SolutionWith Openlink’s in-house banking solution, users can streamline and automate the process of setting up and managing internal banking relationships, both locally and across the globe. Workflows can be created via Openlink’s drag and drop interface. The system can allow for the enforcement of policies throughout the company or locally for application of interest, charges, fees and more.
