At QuantArt, we consistently observe a global gap where corporates still lack access to real-time market data, sophisticated treasury tools, scenario generators, currency strategies and outlooks. We also note that corporates face challenges in their reporting systems to their Board of Directors, day-to-day management of comprehensive MIS systems that capture live and canceled treasury deals. Additionally, easy access to Mark-to-Market Valuations and Option Monitoring is not readily available. Furthermore, Budget Rates and well-defined Corporate Objectives are not established and monitored as frequently as necessary. The availability of an all-encompassing treasury software at an affordable price remains limited.
