Treasury teams have streamlined cash pooling and now close complex intercompany books faster
Since Kyriba is more of a bolt-on, I suggest that more adapters are developed with ERP solutions, specifically S/4, as my idea for improvement. In cases of integration, the adapters were available, but the data sets had to be realigned. The structures in which SAP S/4 operates and the structures in Kyriba had to be mapped. If those can be developed out of the box, it would certainly smoothen the overall implementation experience. Additionally, moving open AR/AP positions from SAP S/4 to Kyriba is done as a batch load, meaning on request. If those interfaces are developed in real-time, so that real-time positions are always moved over to Kyriba, it would enhance the process even further because then the analysis is not contingent upon an on-demand pull request; it happens live. Tighter integration, and tighter real-time integration with the ERP ledgers, could help enhance the capabilities further. Tighter integration certainly is the core area for improvement with Kyriba. In addition to that, I would say that the adoption of AI could be another enhancement in the UI. The context I would suggest for its implementation is within the analysis of discrepancies. Obviously, not everything reconciles perfectly anytime cash pooling is done, so identifying postings where the match cannot be performed, leading to necessary settlements, would be good areas for Kyriba to develop further capabilities.

Consolidation has become consistent and automated and now delivers accurate monthly group results
The best features SAP Business Planning and Consolidation offers include the ability to see all the entities adding up to these numbers at a click of a button, which avoids manual intervention, with all eliminations automated and each intercompany GL connected, ensuring posting in both sets of books of accounts, resulting in a completed balance sheet with no variances. Out of those features, the IC eliminations and the simultaneous accounting in both books of accounts, along with the drill down of the numbers to the possible T-Code level and the consolidation of all the subsidiaries, has had the biggest impact for me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With Kyriba, you log in, go to the report, and see all bank balances in just two clicks, which greatly helps treasurers and the business team."
"For month-end close activities, there is at least a 25 percent and upwards reduction in the time it takes to close the books, which certainly translates into money saved and fewer resources needed."
"But once you start using it, it is one of the best treasury products I have come across in my career."
"Kyriba offers excellent features, including its user-friendly UI as a payment provider."
"The ability to do transfers directly from Kyriba has saved time and reduced the effort of taking approvals from an external party, creating a memo, creating the template in Citibank or any other bank, and obtaining additional levels of approval, since in Kyriba, I can create the payment and only one person can approve it."
"Kyriba has positively impacted my organization by making our work easier compared to the first software we were using."
"My advice to others looking into using Kyriba is that it is a great product and very cost-effective, especially compared to other competitors in the market, and I have been very happy with Kyriba over the past nine years."
"Treasury managers have better visibility to their idle cash, and a glance overview of all accounts at one place is available without logging into each bank portal, which definitely provides better visibility and hence better use of the idle cash."
"After switching to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, we have achieved specific outcomes such as reduced manual intervention, which led to reduced errors, time saved, and increased confidence in the numbers that we presented."
"Up to the implementation of the application, it used to take weeks to the consolidation team to carry out the entire, monthly, financial consolidation, now it takes them just one or two days to perform the entire process."
 

Cons

"I give it a seven because of its limitation to handle complex requirements of financial transactions, such as complex derivatives, structured derivatives, and hedge accounting, which the product is not well-built for."
"Money-wise, I think it takes two to three years to generate the full ROI on that investment, given the initial setup of implementation is a bit higher."
"Something I would like to see improved in Kyriba is that on the reconciliation side, we do get payments where someone might send us a ten thousand dollar payment and then want that split into forty-five different entries."
"I chose a seven because of the interface and the support services we have with Kyriba, as sometimes payments get stuck during production or working hours, resulting in delays for vendors."
"There are a bit of glitches sometimes."
"Tighter integration certainly is the core area for improvement with Kyriba."
"The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive, as the licenses are quite expensive."
"Kyriba could be improved in the areas of connecting with multiple banks and managing various statuses."
"SAP Business Planning and Consolidation can be improved by implementing further checks on the T-Codes to make them much more user-friendly."
"There are no tutorials or wizards inside the tool, and I think they would be very useful sometimes."
