This month sees the publication of Treasury Systems Today, a guide to choosing and implementing a treasury management System. In the time we have been preparing this guide the impact of the net has been significant - web-enabled systems have been introduced, the provision of treasury systems using an ASP (Application Service Provider) has become accepted and technical developments of all systems are being rolled out every few months.

Nonetheless we sense the first signs of a maturing market. The differences between the systems are becoming less obvious and most systems can meet most treasury requirements. Choice now depends on smaller points of system design and softer factors like the feel of the system and the quality of the supplier and the support they give. Read all about this in the brand new report which will be mailed to all subscribers this month.

Recognising the rapid developments in the systems market, Treasury Today will be making available to subscribers a regularly updated list of system suppliers, brief profiles of the systems that they supply, details of users of systems you nominate together with draft RFP (Request for Proposal) documentation and a check list for demonstrations. To obtain these electronic documents subscribers should email subscriberservices@treasurytoday.com or phone the office on 013 0462 0542 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              013 0462 0542      end_of_the_skype_highlighting and ask for Sue Wheatley or someone on the help desk.
