Consolidated reporting and payables, standardized connection through SWIFT Host to Host Transmission for payments and reporting Bank Web Portal with export to bank office Simple Level of Technology Complex Information Reporting Basic cash positioning Daily reporting through bank web portal Export data in CSV out of bank portal Direct transmission of daily reports Rely on bank portal for some reporting Use of mobile and other multi channels Largest may use ERP treasury or TMS TMS or dedicated treasury ERP module Direct transmission or SWIFT communication channels Little if any use of bank web portal Pooling and netting schemes Payables In-house or web portal check print Check usage still high Use bank web portal for wire & ACH Partial reconciliation In-house or direct transmission check print Check usage slowing; active campaign to ACH International & FX payments Use of mixed payments files Shared service centers or payment factories FX and multicurrency accounts Use of mixed payment files Payments created and initiated through ERP, likely use ERP as the approval and transmission vehicle
Integration Concerns Secure connectivity and protection of data Compatibility with third-party treasury management systems and ERP systems Additional support costs and risks due to multiple payment file formats Difficulty consolidating bank account information across multiple platforms Lack of consistency and efficiency in communicating with banks IT resources are minimal and stretched -- how can a large project be accomplished?
Benefits of Integration Lower costs Fewer connections and files to monitor; use of built-in adapter reduce initial development costs and on-going support Compatibility By employing industry standards solutions are replicable across banking partners Low tech footprint Solutions such as cloud technology speed deployment and minimize hardware requirements Simplify business process requirements - Straight through processing and improved internal controls

History The STO had previously purchased third -party portfolio management products from several different vendors. Pros Simplicity of purchasing: while the cost was significant, it was not prohibitive Ease of use: could be put into production in a short time frame Cons Customization: there was a high cost for special requests Customer Service: response time was often longer than desired Updates: Software often lagged industry standards Data Access: Not given full access to our own data The STO has always used a proprietary banking system: IBM AS400
Business Decision for Proprietary Portfolio Management The Idaho STO priorities for building an in-house system Customization Third-party products contained modules or options that were not applicable. We paid for more than was needed. Third-party products contained modules that were one-size-fits-all. We needed to be able to easily change a module to fit our needs. Customer Service Changes or corrections often took weeks when we needed it now. Processing issues could put everything at a stand still, as you have no control over how a vendor prioritizes your needs.
Growing Pains Infrastructure: To develop an in-house system you need resources in place such as: Hiring qualified programmers and retaining them Network servers and other equipment/software Contractors to assist in the implementation It took about 2 years to develop the pooled accounting system and an additional 1.5 years to build the portfolio management system. This was accomplished primarily by one full time programmer
Today The portfolio management module is in production and we are currently building a module for banking We partner with a pricing service, financial institutions, and a custodial bank and send and receive files with few issues We use FTP to bring in & send files to/from proprietary system with few to no issues We interface with our State Controller s accounting system with few to no issues
Benefits of Proprietary System Idaho STO employees have direct access to programmers to work on building modules and customizing processes, greatly reducing the turnaround time We have reduced workload as a result of being able to customize and automate tasks Outreach to state agencies provides feedback on design of the interface they will access
Summary Idaho is smaller in scale which may have facilitated in the success of building/using a proprietary system The goal for the next 6 months is to get the banking module tested for production in FY18 The next 3 years will be dedicated to enhancements to further automate tasks and communication between us and other agencies user interfaces and enhancements to make the system smarter, faster and up to date with the latest technology

Where We Needed Assistance Identifying the Risks: We took responsibility for the Business Risk We needed help to bring our development staff up to speed on the new development tools Used a two step Proof of Concept Don t re-invent the wheel We used some third party components where it made sense
Lessons Learned Work closely with the business staff if they re involved they will share ownership Bite off chewable pieces Tackle one module at a time Follow Industry standard interface formats; NACHA, BAI2, and/or SWIFT
Next Steps Update the Development Team s Skillset Upgrading the Platform and Code Base Take the Opportunity to close any Functional Gaps
