Temenos (SIX: TEMN), the market leading provider of mission critical solutions to the financial services industry, today announces the launch of a prototype Temenos Treasury Management Dashboard app for Windows 8, which has been developed with Microsoft Corp. Treasury managers and senior bank personnel need to be able to accurately check the bank’s overall positions against the market without the need to source data from multiple places or scroll through detailed screens or reports. The app allows them to pull all essential data into a single point, which provides a complete and cohesive picture through simple touch technology. Taking advantage of the top down drilldown approach associated with Windows 8, users will at first see a high level, easily decipherable, graphical view of the overall position and can then follow a particular thread to more detail should they have a particular interest or the graphics denote more attention is required. This allows treasury managers a real-time and complete view of their positions and risk from anywhere at anytime. The added value of the tablet is that the experience and the data is immersive,meaning the user can really get to know their data, understanding it and consequently easily spotting anomalies and opportunities.
