The genesis of the product lies with the founders who are Ex-Bankers having 100+ years of cumulative experience in Treasury, Banking & IT.

3. Integration (Inward & Outward): Third and a very critical differentiator is the Integration aspect. As highlighted in earlier responses, IBSFINtech’s framework has proven capabilities of integrating with a corporate’s inward architecture as well as outward interfaces. This is a critical ask of the IT department to simplify the IT ecosystem of the corporate and to ensure the multiple elements in the ecosystem are not working in isolation.

With IBSFINtech, once the platform is selected for the digital transformation journey, the collaboration continues to support & facilitate the corporate until the same achieves automation across their Treasury, Risk, Trade Finance & any ancillary functions.

Head - Treasury of Olam Agro India Ltd, Anil Jena, shares, "After analysing multiple alternatives in the market for our treasury front-office operations, we at OLAM India finally selected IBSFINtech which can be integrated at real-time. We perform extensive hedging activities and getting live market data has become a straightforward job owing to the integration of IBSFINtech's TMS with Thomson Reuter's DSS. We have been using TR's FXALL for all hedging activities and STP from FXALL to IBSFINtech TMS has been a boon to us. Post integration of FXALL and IBSFINtech TMS, we have been doing all the currency related activities like derivatives, valuation and auto valuation. Bottom line, we have added at least $1 Mn to our trading portfolio over the last one year of using this solution.”

Head - Treasury, JSW Steel, Bikash Chowdhury, quotes, “We had been looking for a TMS for quite some time and finally we closed upon IBSFINtech's Innovative Treasury Management system as it proved to be apt for our requirements.

The solution has helped us enhance visibility, improve control, mitigate operational risk, drive automation and optimize business efficiency.”
