Sirius Solutions has been creating and deploying Treasury and Cash Management solutions for business leaders for over two decades. Technology that could augment or enhance these solutions, such as understanding the behaviors, routines and decisions that improve cash flow, didn’t exist ten years ago.

As companies are preparing for end-of-year activities like budgeting processes, inventory counts, maintaining vendor and insurance records, employee benefit renewals, completing work for SEC filings and property tax renditions, we recommend using workflow automation to standardize and optimize these tasks.

Achieving full-scale automation or transformation is a massive undertaking for any organization. Rethinking business processes – from simple tasks to wide-scale workflows – requires that organizations overcome internal resistance, identify best technologies and almost rebuild business processes from the ground up.
