Google recaptures gold for its work to automate treasury functions by choosing best-in-class systems from third-party vendors and integrating them in a way Treasurer Brent Callinicos describes as "very unique and 'Googly.'"

This year's award covers five treasury initiatives, which include expanding Google's payment infrastructure to cover non-treasury payments, using the Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) service to cover all fixed-income transactions, and enhancing SunGard's AvantGard Quantum software to improve cash forecasting.
