Reval’s latest “Future-Proof Your Treasury” survey shows a year-over-year increase in the usage of treasury management systems by corporate treasury organizations, globally. Reval, the leading global provider of a scalable cloud platform for treasury and risk management (TRM), began its benchmarking survey in 2013 to gauge how corporations are improving their treasury organizations using technology.

"Over the past 10 years we have seen a significant uptick in the number of companiesmoving to solutions specifically designed for the treasury function,” says Justin Brimfield, Reval Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy.  “Companies want tools that will not only meet their needs today, but scale with them as they grow. They are looking to cloud-based TRM solutions to future-proof their treasury needs for tomorrow.”
