Trintech Client Serco Named Winner in 15th Annual Ventana Research Digital Leadership Awards

Trintech, a leading global provider of cloud-based financial close solutions for the Office of Finance, announced today that its customer, Serco, a leading provider of professional, technology, engineering and management services, has been named the winner in the “Office of Finance” category of the 15th annual Ventana Research Digital Leadership Awards. Serco’s win is attributed to its innovative use of Trintech’s Cadency Platform to standardize and automate its reconciliation and financial close processes.

“We want to congratulate Serco for its use of Trintech’s solution in applying automation in its accounting close to speed processes in a complex business, enable staff to focus more of their time on high-value efforts and promote greater confidence in the integrity of its financial statements,” remarked Robert Kugel, Senior Vice President and Research Director at Ventana Research.

Following the successful roll-out of Cadency, Serco has achieved a single, standardized approach to balance sheet management on a global scale. Reconciliations now require less manual effort thanks to increased automation and the application of a risk-based strategy. In addition, the use of a centralized global solution has provided greater insight into the total number of reconciliations performed as well as their timeliness and accuracy.

“I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the Project Team who implemented Cadency and the BAU team who continues to use and promote continuous improvement within our reconciliation process,” said Paul Adams, Head of New Business & R2R at Serco. “The transformative success our team has been able to achieve with Trintech’s Cadency solution has been remarkable and we look forward to additional successes as we continue our financial transformation journey with Trintech.”

Automation has not only reduced Serco’s cost but also allows their team to focus on more value-added tasks. “Competition for talent is a big focus and challenge for many organizations today,” continued Adams. “Automation can help retain your resources by allowing them to focus on value-added tasks instead of the manual, transactional processes.”

Today, Serco is running 5,000 balance sheet reconciliations through Cadency on a monthly basis. In addition, they are auto-reconciling 15,000 accounts which has saved their team a total of 500 hours per month. To gain even further efficiencies, Serco also utilizes Trintech’s pre-built Cadency SAP(R)-Certified Connector. “This connector automatically interfaces data flows from our SAP instance into Cadency so our team can begin analyzing it within minutes. Having the direct interface from SAP also gives confidence in the data matching between the two systems,” continued Adams. From a reporting perspective, Serco’s leadership team also now has full visibility into a Reporting dashboard that allows them to drill-down into any account and identify risk on the balance sheet.

Looking ahead, Serco is looking to continue to expand its automation strategy to gain further efficiencies across their processes. “If it is a repeatable process, the benefits of having technology doing it is far superior to any human. Automation is vital for process efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” concluded Adams.

Learn & Earn, A New Way For Crypto Investment, Created by MoonWealth, Affiliated To Moonstake

Today, Moonstake is pleased to announce we are launching a crypto investment platform targeting the needs and demands of beginners called MoonWealth. It is a simple yet secure platform that allows anyone to get started with crypto investing with a peace of mind. MoonWealth was created with the mission to educate new investors about the advantages and risks of crypto investing, giving them the chance to make conscious financial decisions that grow their wealth.

The crypto market has been and is continuing to grow exponentially. A 2021 research estimated that around 300 million people worldwide own crypto and the average person now is aware of much more than just Bitcoin. Thanks to game-changing industry developments and unprecedented enterprise adoption, more and more people are becoming interested in crypto investing, but are still hesitating due to risk aversion. Since crypto is a tech-heavy field, there are a lot of factors that contribute to the high barrier of entry, such as the complexity of managing crypto assets by yourself, the fast-moving and often unpredictable nature of this market, the lack of easily digestible educational information for newcomers, or the unfortunate abundance of scammers. This is where the beginner platform MoonWealth comes in, to give the crypto industry a much needed solution that focuses on transparency and educating retail consumers about the risks and benefits of crypto investing.

The MoonWealth platform is made up of two key components, Learn and Earn, that cover a newcomer’s whole crypto journey from knowledge exploration to practical application and investing. MoonWealth Learn is an interactive learning experience where users will be able to learn and test their crypto knowledge in a quick and simple manner. By providing the necessary context and simplifying the wealth of information available on crypto investing, MoonWealth aims to be the ideal starting point for anyone, regardless of their level of crypto knowledge or investing experience, to understand and participate in crypto easily. To follow up on MoonWealth Learn, MoonWealth Earn is also in the plan, which will offer users valuable investment products as the next step of the newbie’s crypto journey in the near future. Users of MoonWealth Learn can earn Learn points, which can be used to redeem benefits. You can currently access the official MoonWealth website and MoonWealth Earn crypto learning platform here. http://moonwealth.io/

MoonWealth is the new project of Moonstake, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Exchange listed OIO Holdings (SGX: KUX). Established in April 2020, Moonstake is currently a top 10 staking provider globally that operates a top-rated self-custodial staking platform for Web and Mobile users with support for 17 leading cryptocurrencies as well as stablecoins and NFTs. We are committed to bringing transparency and trust to our customers and constantly strive to improve our operations, which has earned us the recognition as a Verified Provider according to the leading global staking data aggregator Staking Rewards.

Speaking on the launch of MoonWealth, Moonstake Founder Mitsuru Tezuka states: “We’re excited to launch the new platform, MoonWealth, to help newcomers to the crypto investment field quickly and easily get started. With both the Moonstake and MoonWealth Learn and Earn product suite, we hope to satisfy the needs and demands of the widest range of crypto users possible, regardless of their level of industry knowledge and experience, and more strongly promote widespread adoption of cryptocurrency. This is also a part of OIO’s approach to investing and education: giving a transparent and neutral view of the investment products by focusing not on unsustainable yields levels but on a long-term, healthy vision of the crypto market in general.”

With Moonstake, we aim to cover the needs of experienced crypto users and with MoonWealth, we aim to support and guide new users to the crypto ecosystem. Both platforms will work in tandem to serve the needs of crypto users of all experience levels and promote the staking and digital asset ecosystems as a whole to accelerate global adoption. The launch of this new project aligns with Moonstake’s mission to satisfy the increasing demands of investors and businesses in regional and global blockchain markets by providing an active environment for crypto asset holders, both newbies and experienced enthusiasts.
