Our onboarding process includes a mutual evaluation of both organizations, ensuring that your time as well as ours will be spent only on a strong, synergistic partnership. At a high level the onboarding process consist of 4 key steps:

Step One: Overall Fit

We will engage in an in-person meeting between management representatives from each of our organizations. During this meeting we will be assessing our overall alignment of strategy, business focus, and skills fit to evaluate our overall partnership fit.

Step Two: Solution Demo and Feedback

Upon agreed overall fit, we will conduct a full Demo of our solution to your organization (Including key Functional Consultants, Technical Consultants, and Pre-Sales Consultants) to evaluate our solution for your customer base and prospective clients. We will ask you to evaluate and rate our solution accordingly, providing direct feedback on perceived market and customer fit for your organization’s focus.

Step Three: Strategy Workshop and Full Training

If common ground is found, the essential next step for both organizations will be a combined Strategy Workshop plus Full Training on our solution, running in parallel.

The Training will be a full training on our Banking and Treasury solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX. Depending on the size of your team, this training will take 2-3 days, and consists of in-person training, hands-on exercises, and a certification test.

The Strategy Workshop will be conducted in parallel by management team members from both organizations. During this session we will finalize our Partnership Agreement, agreeing on Goals and KPIs for our ongoing partnership. Duration for the Strategy Workshop is 1 day.

The total duration is typically 2-3 days, onsite at your premises.

Step Four: Official Partnership Announcement + Campaign Initiation

Critical deadline for euro transfers and direct debit

SEPA End Date deadline 31st October: If your organization is conducting business in non-euro area countries, be aware that all national euro credit transfers and Direct Debit Schemes in these countries must be SEPA compliant by 31st October 2016.

For you as a customer, that means that your current banking integration to your Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP, and the usual file transfer mechanism may need to be updated.

The impacted countries include: United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania.

The compliance requirement, also known as “SEPA End-Date”, requires banks and customers within the non-euro zone countries to discontinue and replace all local banking platforms and integrations to SEPA compliant alternatives supporting the ISO20022 XML format scheme.

Background

As part of EU and the European Payment Council’s effort to align and harmonize the payment schemes across Europe dating back to year 2002, the SEPA End-Date regulation was set in motion in 2012 to align euro credit transfers and euro direct debit schemes. This allows making cross-border payments in euro as efficiently as domestic transactions.

The SEPA (Single European Payments Area) consists of 27 EU member states, 3 additional countries being part of the European Economic Aare, plus Switzerland, Monaco, Mayotte, St Pierre and Miquelon.

• The first phase of SEPA End Date impacted only Eurozone countries, which had a deadline of 1st August 2014.
• The current phase impacting the non-euro zone countries listed above, require these to comply by 31st October 2016.

Do you need to worry?

If you are not sure whether your banking integrations need to be updated to the new ISO20022 XML formats, then you should consult with your bank, internal IT/Finance, and your banking integration consultants.

The SEPA migration deadline means that all multinational companies should react, this includes multinational corporations in the US, Asia, Middle East, Latin America running operations within the European Union.

Corporations that fail to comply will face several risks. Most important, the legacy systems they use today for euro A/P, A/R, Tax and Payroll transactions will no longer work. Because banks will be unable to process non-compliant payments via the SEPA channel, corporations could miss payment dates. As a result, e.g. US corporations may be forced to make payments via wires at a premium cost or pay a third party service provider to make their transactions SEPA compliant. This semi-manual process could in turn expose corporations to greater risk of payment errors (J.P. Morgan, Treasury Services).

The new ISO20022 standard ensures you increased standardization, regulatory compliance, enhanced security, and improved integration possibilities to your Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution.
