SLG TREASURY | Company Overview
SLG TREASURY TODAY
SLG Treasury, previously SLG Consultants, was founded in 2005 to deliver niche treasury business
consulting and TMS implementation delivery expertise to banks and corporate treasuries globally.
Today we offer business consulting, systems implementation skills and integration solutions that
allow our treasury clients to benefit from best of breed TMS vendor architectures.
DELIVERING A COMPETITIVE EDGE
IN TREASURY TODAY
In SLG Treasury’s opinion, no two treasuries are identical, even
though they may operate with similar business processes,
similar best-of-breed system architectures and similar
underlying organizational ERP systems.
At SLG Treasury we believe that building or implementing
a successful treasury operation results from superior
business acumen and a proven methodology and
approach to systems implementation.
Each treasury is made up of business people and mandates
that expose a unique view on how their treasury operates.
treasury business process, systems architecture strategy and
Best-in-market treasury expertise differentiate the success of
one treasury from another.
Our value proposition is that we build treasury operating
environments, which maximise the inherent value within both
treasury systems architecture and business process design;
these are the core tenets of treasury operation strength.
We are system agnostic and treasury integration is our edge.
We are also one of the few experts in this niche area that focus
exclusively on treasury data mining, treasury data intelligence
and simplified treasury integration.
A successful target operating model for treasury is a sum of
many moving parts: treasury policy, strategy, business process
design, systems architecture, integration strategy and best-inmarket treasury expertise. A weakness in any of these parts is a
potential catalyst for operational or project failure.
Vital Facts and Statistics
SLG Treasury is a niche treasury solutions architecture
provider focusing on providing best of breed treasury
and technology solutions to customers in Europe,
Middle-East, Africa and Asia.
Our integration solutions have a strong market footprint and
are used not only by treasuries.

OPTIMAL APPROACH TO TREASURY
OPERATING MODEL SUCCESS
Achieving treasury operating model success largely
depends on the quality of the methodology, business
process expertise and the systems consulting services
underpinning it.
The methodology offers varying systems “implementation
paths” for TMS and integration packages selected by
customers. These include systems like SAP, SunGard,
Wallstreet and SLG LINX.
The SLG Lifecycle Methodology (SLG-LM) for treasury
operating model delivery integrates target operating model
development with target IT architecture. This ensures an
integrated business process and target IT architecture
design for treasuries, coupled with a project documentation
methodology.
SLG Treasury has also developed a FIT assessment
methodology (SLG-FIT) to identify critical risk areas within
a treasury’s operating model. This methodology closely
tracks the latest trends across the treasury world, thereby
ensuring that clients are always aware of the latest ideas and
innovations.
SLG-LM extends target operating model development into
a natural systems selection and systems delivery framework
lifecycle.
SLG-FIT comprises a number of benchmarking, diagnostic,
process and activity assessments that are undertaken by
expert treasury business consultants. These assessments
deliver a quantitative gauge of risks, opportunities, threats
and strengths within treasury operations.
