Dow Corning managed to boost its cash visibility through a project that included moving from spreadsheets to an IT2 treasury management system and connecting with its banks via SWIFT.

The company went from having visibility into about 60% of its cash to having visibility into more than 98% for its 74 legal entities that are located in 34 countries and use 27 currencies.
