Executive summary
Purpose
The survey gives an insight into how our clients
use and perceive their treasury management
systems in terms of functionality, hosting and
implementation as well as system support.
This report aims at highlighting the main
strengths and weaknesses of TMS:s perceived
by our clients.
Scope
The analysis exclusively covers the results
gathered from the Treasury Management
Survey 2014. It includes data gathered
about treasury management systems and
data regarding companies and their treasury
departments.
More than 90 companies from across the EMEIA
region have taken part in EYs latest survey on
treasury management systems (TMS).
Companies vary in turnover size between less
than 1 billion to greater than 15 billion and
the data gathered is not limited to a specific
industry or company type.
have been using their TMS for over 3 years. This indicates
that requirements are changing rapidly within the TMS
space and that vendors are challenged to keep up with the
continuously changing landscape.
An interesting observation, which may have some impact on
future TMS usage, is that SaaS will be largely considered at
renewal time by many treasuries. Satisfaction rate among
treasuries using SaaS-based solutions is even higher than
among treasuries using TMS:s hosted by their own IT
department (81% vs. 77%).
Market consolidation
The TMS market has been consolidating for the past five
years. We have seen Private Equity firms acquiring TMS
vendors as well as larger TMS players acquiring smaller
market players, often niched companies. One example
of this is IT2 Treasury Solutions being sold to Wall Street
Systems by CapMan Technology in 2013.
Global vendors
In line with the market consolidation, TMS players are
becoming more and more global with broad product
offerings and strong support networks. Smaller players
face a challenge in keeping up with competition from larger
financially strong vendors. The stronger position of global
vendors is further driven by the requirements imposed by
the regulatory environment (e.g. EMIR, SEPA, IFRS 9 and
13), which requires additional effort for vendors with more
limited financial strength and international expertise.

We would like to see a modular system to
respond to different requirements that is both
simple to use and advanced. SaaS-based
solutions need high quality and competence.
Vendors should provide more information on
how to use the system in the most optimal
manner, and put forward system usage optimization instead of conformity.
