As treasury technology evolves, it presents corporate treasurers with myriad opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their function. To harness these opportunities, treasury must, first and foremost, keep an open mind.

To some degree, these benefits can be achieved through a straightforward implementation of standard treasury software. Indeed, the opportunity to offload rote tasks from human to machine is a core selling point of many types of finance systems.
