As corporate treasury teams continuously face pressure to do more with less, technology has become key to success. This year's Alexander Hamilton Awards in the category Technology Excellence recognize three organizations that faced very different challenges in their treasury technology environments. What they have in common is that they tackled their unique challenges head-on, introducing technology solutions that streamlined treasury operations and improved visibility into organizational cash flows.

• Celebrate Toyota Financial Services and SANDAG as winners of the 2022 Alexander Hamilton Awards in the Technology Excellence category.

Winners:

When Covid-19 hit, Toyota Financial Services discovered that processes which were highly efficient and effective in an in-person work environment required a revamp for the new work-from-home reality. The treasury function led a company wide effort to digitize and automate manual processes. Among other improvements, they developed API-based bank connectivity, built an in-house solution to automate daily collateral servicing processes, and deployed a treasury data platform to support self-service analytics and reporting.  

San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is an intergovernmental agency that serves as the forum for regional decision-making in the San Diego area. SANDAG does not have any dedicated treasury staff, but the 19 local governments that are members needed better visibility into the agency's cash position. Following an internal audit of financial processes, SANDAG co-innovated an AI-driven investment reporting system that helps future-proof its treasury needs.
