| 26-11-2019 | TIS |
Treasury Intelligence Solutions GmbH (TIS) is the leading cloud platform for managing corporate payments, liquidity and bank relationships worldwide. The company delivers SMART PAYMENTS to help customers make BETTER DECISIONS.
TIS is web-based. That means you don’t have to install any software locally. Save yourself high IT and ERP maintenance costs and connect TIS to your ERP system in a secure, simple and straightforward manner.
Cloud-based: This is how TIS is integrated.
Simple implementation and intuitive operation.
Many companies have to fight against non-transparent and decentralized payment processes due to the accumulation of organizational and IT structures. TIS understand this problem and can provide a solution to both issues. The TIS platform is web-based and is available productively across the whole company in just a few days. It can be integrated seamlessly into your ERP system via a plug-in. Every user, all over the world, can log in to the platform straightforwardly and manage the business processes for the areas for which they are responsible.
TIS Agent: Support for all ERP versions.
No changes to your ERP systems are needed.
Integration of the TIS Corporate Payment solution is independent of your ERP system. Interfaces for ERP systems other than SAP are either already available or they can be easily deployed by using the TIS Agents. Furthermore, interfaces to banks are already available and additional interfaces are continuously being integrated. Connection to your ERP systems can therefore be achieved straightforwardly.
Cost-efficient.
Fast ERP rollouts and lower maintenance requirements.
Reduce your costs by deciding for the introduction of a SaaS solution. Systems that are located on your own servers will have considerably larger implementation expenses, risks and will involve major IT projects.
There are also expensive maintenance requirements. Every time the payment and bank statement processes between the ERP or accounting systems and the banks are standardized, your IT system will have to be involved. TIS enables fast and cost-effective ERP rollouts, without large IT costs, via the web-based solution. You will therefore save money and simplify your bank communications in the long term.
Particularly easy SAP integration.
TIS Bank Transaction Manager has been officially approved and certified by SAP.
As a certified partner of SAP SE, we guarantee that our SaaS solution is completely compatible with the SAP Business Suite. This means that TIS can integrated seamlessly via an SAP certified plug-in with
Once TIS has been incorporated into an ERP system, the user no longer has to save the bank files locally and transmit them to the bank. Payments are now triggered in the SAP environment and transmitted directly to the TIS cloud platform. Inversely, bank statements go from the bank to TIS and are collected there by the ERP system. As a SaaS solution, the platform is connected seamlessly to your ERPs, and you can design your national and international payment transaction process efficiently and in a future-oriented manner.
TIS Bank Transaction Manager
Integration of the TIS solutions is thus quick and easy. As soon as the TIS Bank Transaction Manager has been integrated into your business processes, you can centralize your payment process and increase your processing speed and data quality. Reduce errors from manual input and gain valuable time via standardized automation. Depending on what type of support in payment management you require, you can manage your payment processes entirely in accordance with your needs using additional TIS modules.

Thrilled to take the next step with the redesign of our website
| 19-11-2019 | by Kendra Keydeniers |
In 2016 we launched our website with the goal to bring everybody who is interested in corporate treasury into our community. We are convinced many will benefit from bringing treasury expertise to a broader audience and experts having in-depth and up-to-date knowledge.
Every day we post new articles and blogs for our readers and if you like scrolling through your timeline you can see our latest news via social media. Friday is our recap day and all of our subscribers receive our weekly newsletter just before the weekend will start. So much is happening constantly.
Over the last months we looked back and discussed with treasury and community management experts how to move forward. As a result we made changes to our site in order to act future proof.
How to inform Treasurers and Non-Treasurers
In the past we tried to make a split between content for treasurers and those who have to deal with treasury not being an expert. We named the last group non-treasurers. This distinction seemed to make sense but in reality was not very practical. A lot of information is relevant for both groups, not all treasurers are experts in all treasury sub categories and there are non-treasurers who have in-depth knowledge.
We also assumed treasurers and non-treasurers use different social media channels, visit different events and consume different products & services. As it turns out this is partly true, there is a huge overlap in their media consumption and this is a good thing. A social media post about forecasting where the treasurer, the controller and the CFO respond is valuable for all.
Our analysis is that a lot of our valuable content does not reach all relevant audiences.
Website redesign
The most important change we made in our site is the first investment to enable further relevant steps. We have introduced an overview of the most relevant topics. With input from experts we had to make choices between being comprehensive and being an attractive read. We created an overview serving both the treasurer as well as the non-treasurer. As an example, cash pools will often be a treasurer topic, working capital management a topic also for non-treasurers and both groups will enjoy a good read about FX management.
The set of topics is not cast in stone. With your input we can tweak and adjust in order to be trendsetting and -following. Do know that reorganising all blogposts and other content in order to put them in the right category is quite a choir: over the years we posted about 700 blogs!
Topic overview:
What is next?
Building upon this investment we will initiate further initiatives. Answering questions about specific topics and offering tailormade information can be done. This is a good thing for both our reader audience, as well as our partners. It will be easier to get detailed insight, as dossiers will be organized in a sensible structure and relevant further info can be offered.
Enabling the match between subject matter experts with those who need input will be easier. You will know who is the expert in FX, trade finance, TMSs, et cetera. Broadcasting from these experts through social media channels can be done better: we will steer away from “spray and pray” and will be sharpshooters.
We are excited about these changes and are thrilled for the upcoming period. Will you join us and do you have any further input? Thank you and see you in our topical environment.
