Knowing your positions in real time and being able to act at any time require homogeneous, flexible and flexible management systems. Adapting to a changing counterparty environment while guaranteeing security and transparency in the execution of transactions involves the use of standards. And all this at a time when resources are scarce. The bank-business relationship is at a turning point in its history, moving from a bilateral vision to a multilateral ecosystem. The first consequence is that this system cannot be born without moving the border which exists between the competitive and collaborative fields. Banks must, and they do, collaborate more and more to offer their customers a common base of “risk & cash-management” services, and the secure means of executing the related transactions. This collaboration naturally finds its place at SWIFT, which has been its core business for 35 years. The second consequence is that banks, and it is often more difficult, must include their customers in the construction of their offers. If they sometimes do it for their proprietary offers, there is still a long way to go for full cooperation to really take shape in the realization of multi-banking solutions. For bank customers, this is nevertheless a crucial point, generating consistency, security, and substantial savings in the day- to- day management of their banking relationships. The Logo The colors of UTSIT, green and gray, represent the mode of intervention and the purpose. Our job is advice (gray matter), for sustainable actions (green). The major shape is the square, symbol of the rigor of our method and our studies. The white circle inside? Because rigor is combined at UTSIT with the desire to understand the problems of our customers and to question our certainties. SPECIAL PE R WHY UTSIT? In Latin UTSIT means "Let it be".
