{ "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "BlogPosting", "headline": "Treasury is More Effective with Technology", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://robertkugel.isg-research.net/treasury-is-more-effective-with-technology-1", "datePublished": "02/01/2017", "dateModified": "02/01/2017", "articleBody": "The treasury function in finance departments doesn’t get a lot of attention, but it’s a fundamentally important one: to ensure that all funds are accounted for and that there is sufficient cash on hand each day to meet operating requirements. Keeping track of and managing cash, especially in larger organizations, can be complicated because of multiple bank accounts, complex financing requirements and various methods of receiving and making payments; the complexity deepens when more than one currency is used across multiple jurisdictions, which also can pose regulatory issues. Basically, treasury management is a challenge because it’s highly detailed and demands complete accuracy. Those of us who struggle to balance a checkbook can appreciate that the requirements at the corporate level are several orders of magnitude more demanding. Beyond enforcing the straightforward requirement that numbers be accurate and available in a timely fashion, controllers and CFOs must have forward visibility into future cash positions at an elemental – not aggregated – level because payments must be made by the right legal entity, not at the corporate level. Thus, cash positions must be forecast at a proper level of granularity to ensure that liquidity requirements can be met. Treasury professionals must perform key analytic tasks accurately to produce a clear picture of cash inflows and cash requirements. Analysis often is challenging because these numbers are constantly changing and because the process of collecting, analyzing and reporting all the data can be excessively time-consuming if it’s done manually. In this environment information technology can enable innovation. Dedicated treasury management applications can automatically manage the data needed to orchestrate treasury processes and provide analysis to inform decisions. Yet our benchmark research on use of spreadsheets in the enterprise finds that more than half (60%) of companies with more than 1,000 employees either use spreadsheets exclusively or employ them heavily in conjunction with a treasury management application. The treasury function is so multifaceted that desktop spreadsheets cannot keep up. When a corporation has excess funds at a business entity or bank account level, it needs to plan for the best way to dispose of them, taking into account all legal requirements (including covenants by lenders, lessors or others that might constrain the disposition of cash by some part of the company). When it has obligations to pay off debt, it must track and prepare for these events. For cash balances and debt, companies must take into account risks in interest rates. Often there are intercompany transfers of cash that must be accounted for in cash-flow planning. As well, companies operating in multiple currencies must have forward visibility to project cash balances and flows by currency to determine the best levels of currencies to be held by each corporate entity, taking into account exchange rate risks. Further complicating matters, in the wake of the recent financial crises, treasuries must be able to manage counterparty risk to avoid losses on liquid or semiliquid balances, or having their funds stranded by regulations that impair their ability to freely transfer money. Processes this complicated typically consume a considerable amount of Treasury’s time if they have little or no automation and rely on spreadsheets. Two basic tasks in particular can eat up lots of time: entering data from multiple systems and reporting accurate and relevant information promptly to executives and managers. In the first instance, time is lost in rekeying data from multiple systems into spreadsheets for analysis and in the second as individuals repeatedly create periodic spreadsheet reports that are distributed (usually by email) to interested parties. As is the case elsewhere in an organization, time spent in handling basic tasks in spreadsheets prevents people – often very skilled people – from performing more valuable work that requires their insight and judgment. To illustrate, let’s consider one area that would benefit from professionals having more available time: cash and credit optimization. Making good decisions consistently requires solid intelligence with which to weigh options in deploying cash balances and managing debt levels (by currency and location) as well as tactical decisions on whether to accelerate payment of invoices to take advantage of discounts. Today, because short-term rates are so low in many parts of the world, companies can, in effect, earn a higher return on cash by having less of it. Having accurate, detailed and up-to-the-minute forward visibility enables finance executives to manage cash and debt more actively to achieve better returns on financial assets and lower costs on debt. As well as handling rote tasks easily, reducing the use of desktop spreadsheets in treasury management diminishes the risks associated with their use. Our research shows that data and formula errors are relatively common. More than one-third (35%) of participants said that errors are common in the most important spreadsheets that they use in their job, and about one-fourth (26%) said that they find errors in formulas. Given the importance of these files it is reasonable to assume that users tend to be cautious in checking for mistakes, which requires more time. Even so there’s always a data integrity issue when desktop spreadsheets are involved, mainly because errors in spreadsheets are common and, in complex ones, difficult to detect until a major problem erupts. When desktop spreadsheets are used in a collaborative process they also create issues of security, auditability and fraud control. Processes can become bogged down because the system has no effective workflow oversight and management. As well as consuming time in checking for errors and resolving the ones that are found, people spend more time in updating, revising, modifying and correcting their spreadsheets. Based on our research we estimate that people spend on average 12 hours per month (equivalent to one-and-a-half eight-hour days or 30 percent of a 40-hour workweek) on these activities. Software to manage the treasury function is more capable and affordable than ever. Corporations that rely entirely or heavily on spreadsheets should investigate how greater automation will enable them to make treasury management more efficient and more reliable and, in the process, more effective by providing greater analytical support and forward visibility into the company’s cash sources and requirements.

However, frequently they find at least three serious challenges to achieving this sort of finance transformation. One is that too much time and resources are devoted to purely mechanical tasks. Another is that the information executives need is not always available immediately. A third is that they lack the data (which is unavailable or too difficult to access), the analytic tools or both to do rapid contingency planning. One area in the Office of Finance that needs particular attention is treasury, as I commented recently. Treasury management is a challenge because it’s highly detailed and demands complete accuracy. These requirements make it an area that can benefit from more automation. Ventana Research recently named Kyriba for Kyriba Enterprise the winner of our 2013 Financial Management Innovation Award. Kyriba offers a suite of Web-based software for treasury management that automates processes and data management and provides tailored analytics and self-service reporting for the treasury function. Kyriba Enterprise, its core product, manages cash, payments, financial transactions and bank relationships as well as risk management, including counterparty risk. Its “supply chain finance” capabilities facilitate payment of suppliers and optimize cash and credit. In order to make good decisions consistently in this area, organizations require better intelligence to weigh options for deploying cash balances and managing debt levels (by currency and location) as well as to make tactical decisions on whether to accelerate payment of invoices to take advantage of discounts. One of the most important reasons to automate the treasury function is that it improves a company’s forward visibility into its cash and liquidity. Because business is dynamic, forecasts of a company’s short-term finances are constantly changing, so it’s important that projections can be updated quickly, consistently and accurately. Visibility and the ability to understand the impact of contingencies are critical in the decision-making process, which is why having a tool that can rapidly assess potential outcomes to various scenarios is important. As well, given the importance of cash and liquidity to the day-to-day functioning of a business, financial executives must be able to exercise full control over these assets. Treasury must also be productive, which is why a tool that improves its efficiency through automation and better data management is essential. With today’s low interest rates, paying early to get a price discount offers companies a high rate of return on their cash. However, many companies fail to take advantage of this (or fail to do so consistently) because they don’t have the tools or processes to ensure that valid invoices are paid promptly. Treasury management software has been around for decades, but many companies still use desktop spreadsheets exclusively or for parts of this finance department function. Reducing the use of desktop spreadsheets in treasury diminishes associated risks, notably errors. Our spreadsheet research shows that data and formula errors are relatively common: More than one-third (35%) of participants said that errors are common in the most important spreadsheets they use in their jobs, and about one-fourth (26%) said that they find errors in formulas. Kyriba offers Web-based software as a service (SaaS). For treasury management, SaaS has several advantages, including anytime, anywhere access to data, which can be critically important when issues arise outside of normal business hours or when key people are out of the office. In addition, implementation can be rapid and requires a limited amount of upfront investment. Kyriba Enterprise requires no ongoing IT department support, and for larger organizations it can scale to their requirements. The company also has the requisite security certifications, which can offer an even more secure environment than a company’s own infrastructure. Making the finance department more strategic usually starts with finding ways to automate as many routine functions and processes as possible, and managing data to ensure its accuracy, availability and consistency. This frees up resources that can be redeployed to do more valuable work. Dedicated software often plays a key role in automating core business processes, managing tasks and handling data. With the right software, treasury organizations can help transform finance departments by providing more immediate, reliable information, as well as analytics-based insights to support consistently better decision-making and improved efficiency. Finance executives who want to improve their treasury organization should evaluate how well their existing technology supports this function. If better software is needed, I recommend evaluating Kyriba Enterprise.

Typically, Treasury is charged with keeping track of and managing cash. Especially in larger organizations, this can be complicated because of multiple bank accounts, complex financing requirements and many methods of receiving and making payments; the complexity deepens when more than one currency is used across multiple jurisdictions, which also can pose regulatory issues. Treasury’s primary directive is to ensure that all funds are accounted for and that there is sufficient cash on hand each day to meet operating requirements. To accomplish this, finance professionals must perform key analytic tasks accurately to produce a clear picture of cash inflows and cash requirements. Analysis often is challenging because these numbers are constantly changing and because the process of collecting, analyzing and reporting all the data can be excessively time-consuming if done manually. This is a situation perfectly suited for dedicated applications that automatically manage the data needed to orchestrate treasury processes and provide analysis to inform decisions. Yet our benchmark research finds that more than half (56%) of companies with more than 1,000 employees either use spreadsheets exclusively or employ them heavily in conjunction with a treasury application. Put simply, treasury management is a challenge because it’s highly detailed and demands complete accuracy. Those of us who struggle to balance a checkbook can appreciate that the requirements at the corporate level are several orders of magnitude more demanding. Beyond enforcing the straightforward requirement that numbers be accurate and available in a timely fashion, controllers and CFOs must have forward visibility into future cash positions at an elemental – not aggregated – level because payments must be made by the right legal entity, not at a corporate level. Thus, future cash positions must be forecast at a proper level of granularity to ensure future liquidity requirements can be met. Where a corporation has excess funds at an entity level, it needs to plan for the best way to dispose of it, taking into account all legal requirements (including covenants by lenders, lessors or others that might constrain the disposition of cash by some part of the company). Where it has obligations to pay off debt, it must track and prepare for these events. For cash balances and debt, companies must take into account interest rate risks. Often there are intercompany transfers of cash that must be accounted for in cash-flow planning. As well, companies operating in multiple currencies must have forward visibility to project cash balances and flows by currency to determine the best levels of currencies to be held by each corporate entity, taking into account exchange rate risks. Further complicating matters, in the wake of the recent financial crises, treasuries must be able to manage counterparty risk to avoid losses on liquid or semiliquid balances, or having their funds stranded by regulations that impair their ability to freely transfer money. Processes this complicated typically consume a considerable amount of Treasury’s time if they have limited or no automation and rely heavily or entirely on desktop spreadsheets. Two basic tasks in particular can eat up lots of time: entering data from multiple systems and reporting accurate and relevant information promptly to executives and managers. In the first instance time is lost in rekeying data from multiple systems into spreadsheets for analysis and in the second as individuals repeatedly create periodic spreadsheet reports that are distributed (usually by email) to interested parties. As is the case elsewhere in an organization, time spent handling basic tasks in spreadsheets prevents people – often very skilled people – from performing more valuable work that requires insight and judgment. One area that would benefit from professionals having more available time is cash and credit optimization. Making good decisions consistently requires better intelligence to weigh options in how to deploy cash balances and manage debt levels (by currency and location) as well as tactical decisions on whether to accelerate payment of invoices to take advantage of discounts. Today, because short-term rates are so low in many parts of the world, companies can, in effect, earn a higher return on cash by having less of it. Having accurate, detailed and up-to-the-minute forward visibility enables finance executives to manage cash and debt more actively to achieve better returns on financial assets and to lower costs on debt. As well, reducing the use of desktop spreadsheets in treasury management diminishes the risks associated with their use. Our research shows that data and formula errors are relatively common. More than one-third (35%) of participants said that errors are common in the most important spreadsheets that they use in their job, and about one-fourth (26%) said that they find errors in formulas. Given the importance of these files it is reasonable to assume that users tend to be cautious in checking for mistakes, which requires more time. Even so there’s always a data integrity issue when desktop spreadsheets are involved, mainly because errors in spreadsheets are common and, in complex ones, difficult to detect until a major problem erupts. When desktop spreadsheets are used in a collaborative process there are also issues of security, auditability and fraud control. Processes can become bogged down because the system has no effective workflow oversight and management. As well as consuming time in checking for errors and resolving the ones that are found, people spend more time in updating, revising, modifying and correcting their spreadsheets. Based on our research we estimate that people spend on average 12 hours per month (equivalent to one-and-a-half eight-hour days or 30 percent of a 40-hour workweek) on these activities.

The annual event brings together thought leaders and practitioners interested in pricing. Nomis currently has 17 of the largest 100 banks as customers. With more customers, this year’s event had larger attendance than last year’s. Discretion Manager helps loan agents set and adapt pricing terms and conditions to optimize the trade-off between loan volumes and margin, based on the preferences and characteristics of the lender. By dynamically recalculating the impact of changes on any number of terms being offered, agents are able to price more effectively. By tracking every negotiation, the system enables the agent’s company to capture competitive market intelligence and evolve its pricing tactics to respond to changing conditions. Discretion Manager can be accessed on a tablet, reflecting the vendor’s awareness of the need for mobility in situations such as automobile lending. Nomis provides price and revenue optimization (PRO) software and services to financial services companies, including banks, automobile credit providers and credit card processors. Financial services is a distinct segment in PRO because customer attitudes and behavior with respect to money are distinct from those they have toward, say, travel and leisure or general merchandise. Especially for lending and insurance, adverse selection is a characteristic that should be incorporated into pricing models, but it rarely is. Riskier borrowers, for example, are more willing to pay higher interest rates so it’s important for the lender to ensure that pricing reflects the degree of principal risk it is undertaking. Price optimization is based on a concept that is simple to describe but difficult to execute because even buyers with identical demographic characteristics (such as age, income or location) may have different degrees of price sensitivity. In the case of financial services, for example, those with low price sensitivity may place more value on other characteristics of a transaction. These may include service levels or service bundles, features (specific terms and conditions such as prepayment flexibility), convenience or brand values (including security, reliability or efficiency). By appropriately structuring its offers, a financial services company can get closer to its optimal trade-off between volume and risk-adjusted profitability. Nomis claims that it has been able to increase the net interest margins of its customers by five to 25 basis points (0.05% to 0.25%) over the course of a business or interest rate cycle; such an improvement has a meaningful impact on an institution’s return on equity. Margin improvement is partly the result of replacing top-down static pricing approaches (such as weekly or monthly price books sent out by headquarters) with a system that learns and recalibrates optimal terms even for multiple-variant offerings (such as size of down payment, initial and long-term interest rates and length of loan) based on real-time market feedback. The development and growing sophistication of packaged PRO applications has been one of the most important advances in business analytics over the past decade. The potential benefits of such systems are widespread and evident. At its most basic level, PRO software allows companies to vary the price they offer according to an assessment of the price sensitivity of the individual buyer. Those assumed to be more sensitive are shown a lower price than those who are insensitive. Today’s products can accommodate differences in the context of offerings, especially variations on initial pricing and discount. For example, some customers prefer “everyday low prices” while others crave coupons and discounts. These are retail pricing approaches, but the same tactics apply to consumer banking and finance. In the end, the lender may receive exactly the same amount of revenue, but using the right pricing dynamics to attract a customer can make all the difference in getting the business. Nomis has been increasing its attention to managing the dynamics of the pricing discussion, which can be especially important for auto loans and other consumer finance products. Optimization methodologies such as PRO are a natural fit for the application of big data analytics. Focus on this topic has increased in recent years because of the opportunity to gain ongoing actionable insights from the mass of data created by internal systems and publicly available data (such as social media). Our benchmark research shows that three-fourths of companies are addressing more than 10 gigabytes of data per day and 10 percent are already dealing with a terabyte or more. It requires sifting through large data sets to collect consumer behavior characteristics that will enable a company to identify customer segments and quantify their price sensitivity. These complex calculations require software designed for the purpose, but most in the financial services industry rely on older methods that produce less than optimal results. Big data analytics software can help organizations more closely manage the process of defining offers to customers (and the levels of discretion they allow to account managers and sales people) and the terms and conditions of the transaction. The conceptual framework for PRO is well established. The challenge is in putting it into practice. For example, it’s not always easy to get reliable data about historical transactions, identify segments correctly and regularly update the data to reflect changes in markets, competitive moves and model refinements. There’s a change management aspect to PRO as well. Changing how an organization interacts with customers to take best advantage of technology can be challenging. For example, the best customers of a bank may be the least price sensitive, yet there’s a tendency to reward them excessively by offering better deals than they need to be satisfied. For that reason, sales incentive management and PRO are highly complementary. I’d say it’s impossible to get full benefit from either without combining them. Incentive management may be the only reliable means to overcome organizational inertia, especially where deep-seated beliefs are concerned. It seems as if businesses have been struggling with pricing their products and services forever. At the dawn of the Internet age some pundits speculated that the increasing pricing transparency afforded by the Web would drive prices closer together. This hasn’t happened, and vendors are still challenged to set the best price. As well, for decades, financial services companies have been grappling with the difficulty of implementing customer value pricing as a way to deal with the extreme asymmetry of customer profitability in their industry. That is, a small minority of customers are very profitable while most are marginally profitable or even unprofitable. The dilemma facing executives that customer value pricing seeks to address is that some in the larger group can become very profitable if the institution can attract a higher share of their wallets or over time as their age, income and wealth grow. Without the right software it’s never easy to find such diamonds in the rough. Nomis can help financial services companies here, but although software is necessary, it’s not sufficient. Discussions with customers confirm the persistence of intractable cultural and institutional barriers that get in the way of successfully implementing a customer value approach. Because of the host’s new software release, one area of focus of this year’s forum was managing discretion in setting prices. In many retail settings in western societies, prices are not normally negotiated. However, for many big-ticket consumer items (such as cars and houses), buyers usually expect to negotiate the price with the seller. In these cases, companies need to decide to what degree to give their agents discretion to negotiate charges, terms and conditions. There’s a high degree of dissatisfaction among business executives with how to apply discretion to the negotiation process to optimize revenues and profits; many suspect that too much discretion erodes margins. One reason for this distrust is poor application of incentive management to the process. Much of it, though, stems from a failure to understand buyers’ price elasticity and the optimal method of presenting prices in terms of list and discount in managing a negotiation. As noted, even for the identical product offered by the same company, for some customers it’s better to quote a high list price and offer a sizable discount while for others a more moderate list price and a limited discount works best. Nomis can help manage the dynamics of the price presented and discounts offered in a way that optimizes revenue and pricing. Price and revenue optimization is only beginning to mature in industries other than travel and hospitality. While some financial services companies run their own internal PRO efforts, most don’t have the resources, desire or ability to do this in-house. Yet there is evidence of the value of PRO as an effective profitability management tool in the financial services industry. The need for banks and other financial institutions to increase their returns on assets and therefore equity in today’s challenging and more regulated environment makes PRO a vital tool. Financial services firms should take steps to incorporate more effective pricing as part of their strategy and consider Nomis Solutions to provide the analytical and operational underpinnings of such an effort.

Transmitting messages with quotes, prices and trade data is a core capability for currency dealers. Informatica recently introduced Ultra Messaging, which is designed to offer global currency traders an efficient, high-throughput, lower-latency (that is, faster) and more secure method of linking their worldwide operations. Currency trading, like much of the financial services landscape, has been transformed by IT. When I worked on a small currency trading desk in 1978, the two most sophisticated pieces of technology the traders used were the fax machine (in those days, before it became a consumer electronics item, a fax machine cost $10,000, or about $35,000 in current dollars) and a Monroe desktop financial calculator. Back then, a one-day movement of 50 “pips” (0.0050 of any currency unit or a half-cent) was considered a huge move in the market. Today, in an era when currency swings of several cents in a day are common and daily trading volumes are measured in trillions, computers and the networks that connect them are integral components of any dealer’s operation, helping to manage trades, searching for arbitrage opportunities and enabling financial institutions to carefully monitor their risk exposure to their customers. Traders, when they are involved, must have up-to-the-split-second information. Those that are charged with managing counterparty risk must be certain that they have real-time information about their global exposure to individual credits. The worldwide currency market operates around the clock, and major trading centers (Tokyo, London and New York, for example) have normal working hours that overlap over the course of the day, so it’s important that the individual trading desks around the world have the exact same information simultaneously. If they don’t, they risk having competitors arbitraging their bids or otherwise trading against themselves. Ultra Messaging is designed to optimize performance across wide area networks (WAN). Managing the flow of quotes and trade information is less difficult on a local area network (LAN) since bandwidth can be enormous, distances are short and messages on the network cross a limited number of nodes. When networks must span the world, though, latency develops because of the sheer distances involved, the sometimes complex routing a message takes between two points and potential bandwidth limitations in the technology that’s employed to handle the message. WANs also pose problems of lost data because of the relatively high number of nodes between the sending and receiving points. Ultra Messaging optimizes the path across a WAN by continuously monitoring the network topography and using algorithms to select the optimal routing of messages for each specific moment, an approach that seeks to achieve an “as soon as physically possible” (ASAPP) latency. It is designed to offer graceful failover capability because it also has calculated the next best routing if that becomes necessary. Informatica claims it can regularly save tens of microseconds compared to other solutions on the market. The software is available in three versions to address different optimization requirements. The Persistence Edition focuses on guaranteed messaging with zero-latency failover to address the need for institutions to have an accurate global record of all of its trades. The Queuing Edition is designed for guaranteed “once-and-only-once” delivery with low-latency messaging and automatic load balancing for constrained bandwidth environments. The Streaming Edition is designed to achieve the lowest possible latency by using “nothing in the middle” methods that eliminate daemons and brokers. Global financial services companies have options when it comes to managing their WAN-based messaging and communications. They should investigate whether Ultra Messaging will improve their network performance.

This annual event brings together thought leaders and practitioners in the area of pricing and revenue optimization (PRO). This technique uses analytics to sift through large data sets to tease out customer behavior characteristics, identify customer segments and quantify their price sensitivities. These complex calculations require software designed for the purpose, but most in the financial services industry rely on older methods that produce less-than-optimal results. Analytics can help organizations more carefully manage the process of defining offers to customers (especially the levels of discretion offered to account managers and sales people) and the terms and conditions.

For example, those with low price sensitivity may place more value on other characteristics of a transaction with a financial services firm. These may include service levels or service bundles, features (specific terms and conditions such as prepayment flexibility), convenience or brand values (including security, reliability or efficiency). By appropriately structuring its offers, a financial service company can get closer to its optimal trade-off between volumes and risk-adjusted profitability. For its part Nomis’s software provides clients with a Nomis Score that measures customers’ price sensitivity. (You can find its patent application here. This score is the foundation for structuring offers. By allowing financial services companies to understand how changes in pricing will affect demand from different segments of customers, it can provide an analytic basis for an effective customer value pricing strategy. Several of the presentations at the conference were case histories documenting how customers have achieved higher returns or increased volumes using the score as part of their optimization efforts. I’ve been going to this event for several years. For me, the key take-away from this year’s forum could be summed up as “pricing is more than just pricing.” In other words, while the mechanics of executing a price optimization strategy are extremely important, it’s valuable to step back and recognize some of the key reasons why price optimization is a strategic imperative in financial services. Nomis founder Robert Phillips (also the author of a book on the topic) pointed out that this industry has inherently fewer strategic methods for maximizing profit. Interest rates are a commodity. Unlike for luxury goods, few if any borrowers are willing to pay more for a mortgage because of the prestige of borrowing from a particular lender. As a further complication, those eager to pay a higher interest rate are also more likely to default (a condition referred to as “moral hazard”). Thus the need to segment existing and potential customers to determine, on the one hand, their willingness to pay for loans or services or, on the other, their requirements for the use of their own funds (such as certificates of deposit or checking accounts). Even though it’s important to consider the bigger picture, the focus of the conference was on improving the execution of price and revenue optimization. This is still a cutting-edge discipline from several perspectives: using the underlying analytics technology, managing the systems and integrating PRO into the day-to-day management of a financial institution. As well, before diving into the mechanics of PRO, it’s necessary to consider the bigger picture issues at work in applying it successfully. One of the most important elements contributing to the success of PRO is understanding why customers want to do business with a company – not the reasons people within the company think existing and prospective customers have but those revealed by factual market research. Company lore often is out of date and, especially in larger institutions, doesn’t reflect the breadth of motivations and concerns of clients. No doubt this is generally good advice for every business, but it is vital to managing pricing as an ongoing process. A broader point to come out of the conference is that pricing and revenue optimization will be even more important to the financial services sector in a period of rising interest rates. Today, most of the developed world is living in an environment of “rate suppression.” This will almost certainly end within the next couple of years if there’s any improvement in the world economy or if central bankers decide it is no longer advisable. Yet few people now working at banks or other financial institutions have experienced conditions similar to the 1970s when rates rose sharply. Managing portfolios and sourcing funds in a generally rising interest rate environment poses different challenges than dealing with today’s low rates. If history is a guide, not managing this properly will have severe consequences for organizations unprepared for it. The underlying analytics are vital because it’s necessary for companies to monitor markets continuously to determine the price elasticities of various customer segments as they set rates, terms and conditions to best reflect the trade-offs customers make. Most customers respond in a predictable fashion to pricing. In financial services, for example, those with good credit ratings are more demanding because they have more options; those borrowing larger amounts are more price-conscious because of the absolute cost; and new customers are price-conscious because paying less is a key motivation for changing banks. However, it’s almost certain that within these general behavior patterns, lenders will find subtle but important variations in how potential customers respond to specific structured offers. Understanding the key lender and customer decisions that occur in the sales process is fundamental for defining an effective modeling approach to predicting customer behavior. These variations usually make the difference in improving an institution’s returns on capital. Pricing and revenue optimization first took hold in the 1980s in the travel and hospitality industries. It is part of everyday business practices for airlines and hotels worldwide because it works. Yet its use is still immature in most other industries. While some financial services companies run their own internal PRO efforts, most don’t have the resources, desire or ability to do this in-house. Evidence is mounting that PRO is an effective tool in the finance industry, and I believe the outlook for the financial markets means that its use will be even more important in coming years. I recommend that financial services firms take steps to incorporate more effective pricing as part of their strategy and to look into Nomis Solutions to provide the analytical and operational underpinnings of such an effort.

To be sure, the large majority of companies are able to deal with their cash and short-term and longer-term monetary investments because the amounts are small enough to be manageable. Indeed, many companies, especially smaller ones, face the opposite problem and spend more time focused on their uncertain funding requirements. Still, over the past decade highly profitable companies have been generating more cash than they need to fund expanding operations and capital spending requirements (Apple and Oracle are two examples), and now they have to manage it. Larger companies may have portfolios in the tens of millions to billions of dollars in multiple currencies in multiple jurisdictions, so there’s a lot at stake. Corporate treasurers in larger companies with substantial cash and equivalents assets face a more complex issue than one might think. Varying with the internal skills of a company’s people and its desire to develop and sustain an internal competence to manage cash, most reach a point at which it makes sense to hire asset managers to take care of investing some or most of these funds. When multiple internal and external money managers are involved, it vital that a company be able to track, analyze, assess and report on all these assets in a unified fashion as quickly and efficiently as possible. At the very least, treasurers have a basic requirement: to keep track of the money and to calculate and report the returns from those investments. To do that efficiently, they need a consolidated view of these investments and an ability to examine the aggregate set of investments along multiple dimensions, including maturity, currency, asset class and credit quality to name four. When there are many transactions, it’s important to automate the data collection and reconciliations process to reduce workload and speed the availability of reliable information. Then there’s reporting, which can be complicated for companies with large investment portfolios because of differences that often exist between statutory and tax reporting rules. It becomes even more complicated when subsidiaries in other countries have to report amounts in their local currency using different generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) – such as US GAAP for headquarters but IFRS for the business unit in France – and there are differences in tax accounting rules in each country. The treasury function has to manage cash on a daily basis, so it needs visibility into maturities for the portion of the portfolio it controls. For the externally managed portfolios, it needs daily income statements, account statements and statements of cash flows. There also is an important risk management dimension to managing large corporate portfolios. Today’s unsteady financial environment requires constant vigilance. Corporate treasurers need to handle their investment portfolio risk across multiple dimensions, including quality, diversification, maturity and duration, issuer and issuer type, currency and country. They need reports that help them monitor risks by using the appropriate analytics to measure the risks, and they need alerts that provide the appropriate people when out-of-tolerance conditions exist and finally the ability to drill down to gain a complete understanding of source of risks to the portfolio. Having established risk parameters, treasuries must ensure that external and internal managers are operating within those parameters. It’s unsettling to discover that the manager who was hired with a mandate that spells out acceptable and prohibited asset classes (for instance, maturities of a year or less, commercial paper must be investment grade and no sovereign debt other than U.S. Treasury bills) has actually bought a five-year corporate bond with a junk rating. It’s easier to correct if you are alerted immediately or within a day that a portfolio is out of compliance with its investment mandate. And finally, exercising due diligence means treasurers must be able to assess the investment performance of their external and internal managers against the appropriate benchmarks, both in aggregate as well as by securities classes. Having the right software is a necessary first step for treasurers who have large cash and investment balances to look after. Desktop spreadsheets might be sufficient for small organizations and those that do not have large volumes or complex requirements. However, I advise companies that find that they do not have the ability to manage the accounting, risk, compliance and performance assessment dimensions of their liquid investment portfolios to adopt software that will enable them to do so. The benefits can be expressed in monetary terms.
