Episode 6: Make IT integration your ABS accelerator

In securitisation, the ABS platform is only as strong as the way it plugs into your world. Every corporate treasury runs on a different IT architecture, uses different systems, and follows different processes — yet the transaction still has to run smoothly, reliably, and on time.

So how do you connect diverse client landscapes to a standardised ABS process without turning your IT department into the bottleneck?

In Episode 6 of BearingPoint's ABS Expert Talk, Timo Menzel and Marc von Scheliha unpack one of the most underrated success factors in securitisation: seamless, standardised IT integration — and why getting this right decides how fast, how cost-efficient, and how future-proof your ABS programme really is.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why standardisation and simplicity at the interface layer are non-negotiable when integrating diverse client IT systems
• How BearingPoint keeps IT department involvement to a minimum — and why that matters when internal resources are stretched
• What a market-proven ABS integration approach looks like when you've onboarded 180+ customers across very different industries and system landscapes
• Why the data foundation is often smaller and more manageable than treasurers expect
• How implementation timelines differ between trade receivables and leasing transactions — and what first-time issuers should plan for
• Why a structured data workshop puts you, not the banks, in the driver's seat of your transaction
• The two parallel streams every ABS implementation project should be built around
