Commentary
The corporate commercial ecosystem has often been described as the most inefficient market in the world. An inefficient market is typically characterized by lack of data and transparency and a high degree of transactional friction cost. It is clear that no one entity can provide all of the elements necessary to affect the fundamental shift required to bring the required efficiency to cash management.
What this corporate commercial ecosystem needs, like any ecosystem, is a community leader. SunGard is uniquely positioned to provide that leadership by bringing together the network of participants for improved transparency, efficiency and connectivity. At SunGard, we believe in creating strong partnerships with our customers as well as across the broader ecosystem. We are focused on acting as a community leader, helping our customers to anticipate and take advantage of all the changes that are taking place in our industry. As a result, we’re constantly looking forward to find new ways to solve these challenges. Our goal is to support our corporate customers in future proofing their technology investments, while remaining focused on their core business competencies.
