Overall Satisfaction with Kyriba

Kyriba is predominantly used by the Treasury department within our organization. There are some members of the Accounting department that have access to Kyriba to gather information for journal entries posting to the general ledger. The Treasury department uses Kyriba to reconcile bank activity, process payments, create a position of cash flow for our US and Canadian transactions, monitor and maintain financial instruments and analyze monthly bank fees.
  • Kyriba is great for creating a position of cash flow. We are able to use that information to create an accurate daily cash position that is used by Management in the decision making processes. With all the bank information reporting into Kyriba we are able to easily monitor liquidity.
  • Kyriba makes it easy to monitor the activity in multiple bank accounts across the organization. Having all the transactions feeding into a centralized platform saves us valuable time each morning. This also increases our visibility into each account.
  • Kyriba is able to track all of our financial instruments for us. It is easy to update information for our various loans because it is all in one location. We are able to run reports at month end at the push of a button so we can reconcile our activity against the bank reports.
  • Kyriba Social is a great tool to use to connect to other Kyriba users to get help on any problems. This is also where we would file a case with Kyriba for support. I have always found that when I do have to file a case for assistance the Kyriba team is quick to respond and helpful.
  • One issue I have noticed is that on different modules in the system pressing "Enter" does different things. On one module it might save the data that was just entered, and on other modules it will exit you out of the screen. For instance, if I am entering a payment in the "Payments" module, hitting "Enter" will save the payment. If I am working on a loan in the "Financial Transactions" module hitting "Enter" will exit me out of the screen without saving my data. I wish it was a little more consistent across all the modules.
  • Kyriba saves our department time, which is the most valuable thing we have. Before Kyriba we had to log into each bank to pull data for the prior day before we could enter our current day activity. Now the banks send the data right to Kyriba! It saves us about 3 hours of work each day from our old process.
  • Kyriba has given us visibility into all of our bank accounts in a centralized platform. We can better monitor activity and use that information to make better business decisions.
  • Kyriba has given us better transparency because of dual approval. One person has to enter information and another person has to approve information, so we have tighter controls.
Our department uses Kyriba for several activities on a daily basis. We use it to create a cash flow ledger, process payments and monitor our bank accounts. We use Kyriba almost daily for our financial instruments. We are working towards using Kyriba for a cash forecast. We are also looking at how Kyriba might be appropriate for our financial hedge activities.
