TMI 176 - July 2009
Issue Synopsis
In this months edition of TMI we are delighted to feature an interview with Francesco Vanni d'Archirafi, appointed Chief Executive Officer, Global Transaction Services at Citi earlier this year. Following our feature in last month's magazine on the economic benefits of a ‘green' business strategy, Francesco shares some of his thoughts. Brian Thumwood, DHL, continues the theme, exploring how the company has implemented eBilling and some of the environmental and financial benefits, as well as enhancements to customer service, which they have achieved.
Many readers will be aware of BNP Paribas' Cash Management University, now in its third year, taking place on October 8-9. We preview one of the sessions at this event, the first in a series showcasing some of the topics and speakers. Also on theme of liquidity, this month's Special Feature focuses on how liquidity management has changed over the past year.
These articles are accompanied by a wealth of others, covering experiences of a major insurance firm, treasury centralisation at Volkswagen and more.
