Reconciliations Utility

A reconciliation utility offers the opportunity to significantly reduce back and middle office costs. SmartStream has leveraged its knowledge and expertise as the leading reconciliation software solution provider to develop a reconciliations utility model.


Reconciliation utilities promise better and more flexible application of resources, lower cost structures, unified technical platforms, best practice synergies and better staff retention. They also give managers a perspective on the process that allows them to understand operational risk, and to improve financial reconciliation processes. Larger firms have been able to reach ROI figures in the range of 25% to 100% and break-even within 1 year in well-managed and well-implemented cases.

The SmartStream white paper, Building the Business Case for a Reconciliation Utility, provides a proven methodology for developing the Reconciliation Utility ROI case and setting your utility project on the right path.
