Celent, a Boston-based research and advisory firm, launches a new service dedicated to corporations: Corporate Finance. The first service area will focus on Treasury.
In line with Celent’s current service offerings in the areas of Retail and Business Banking and Corporate Banking, the new research service will focus on corporate treasury, aiming to deliver the latest thinking and insights around the business dynamics, operational practices, and technological underpinnings that impact corporate treasury departments.
Celent’s unique research and advisory service will help corporate decision-makers stay abreast of industry trends, analyze and seize opportunities, and monitor the playing field. Technology vendors will also benefit from the service by receiving guidance and insights from the new research area.
“Celent is leveraging its experience on the banking side of the treasury business to create a set of research useful to corporate treasurers and their organization,” says Enrico Camerinelli, senior analyst with the corporate banking practice. “We can provide corporate treasurers with the perspective of the other side: that of banks and insurance companies.”
The Treasury service will respond corporate treasurers’ growing interest in topics such as:
– How to remove costs while retaining robust processes
– Advances in regulatory compliance management
– Identifying true working capital finance solutions and risk alignment
– Aligning technology solutions with business requirements
– Confidence in the future of key banking players
“Corporate Treasury is about handling banking requirements, funding for the business, and managing the related financial risk,” says Bart Narter, senior vice president of Celent’s banking practice. “Celent, through its history of research on these subjects, is in an excellent position to support corporate executives, who need specialized and focused services to effectively administer their business strategies.”
Celent’s new research service will delve into issues of:
