“This study provides an excellent insight for any businesses looking to reap the benefits of cloud-based treasury management technology to increase organizational flexibility, cash management process scalability, and B2B payment security,” said Jukka Sallinen, Chief Executive Officer of Nomentia. “We wanted to understand what the current state of digitalization across treasury and cash management is and what are the challenges decision-makers are looking to overcome. We are thrilled to share the study with businesses to help them identify how they can take their cash management to the next level.”
Forrester’s study indicates that the current tools hinder firms’ priorities with cash flow management and the lack of visibility into cash flow has high costs. Thus, businesses are ready to invest in solutions that improve their cash flow capabilities:
- Over 80% of business leaders are prioritizing increasing cash management and payment efficiency and maximizing cash flow liquidity.
- 70% of decision-makers said that cash flow transparency, flexible reporting, and data collection are challenging.
