23 Sep 2011	Upgrade Email to Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
	In response to a recent spam event where our domain was showing as the sender without our knowledge, we have upgraded our email security to include Sender Policy Framework (SPF) as an email validation system designed to prevent email spam by detecting email spoofing, a common vulnerability, by verifying sender IP addresses. SPF allows administrators to specify which hosts are allowed to send mail from a given domain by creating a specific SPF record (or TXT record) in the Domain Name System (DNS). Mail exchangers use the DNS to check that mail from a given domain is being sent by a host sanctioned by that domain's administrators. If any Itreasury uses experience any issues, please contact our email administrator. We apologise to those recipients of the previous spam messages.
20 Sep 2011	Spam Emails

10 Apr 2011	Release of a new program
	Today we conducted the pilot program of a course that challenges the status quo of bank commercial banking managers cross selling global markets products to customers. For a long time, we have felt that banks lead this process with a product and a price. Often they are unsuccessful. Yet the rewards are there on a Return on Capital basis and assist clients in providing stability to otherwise volatile markets. Our new approach reverses the value proposition and the client was so impressed, they have committed to 8 follow courses. If you think that your bank might be interested in this new approach, drop us an email at info@itreasury.net and learn how to stop selling product and start selling value.
5 April 2011	ITS Europe
	For many years we have had a representative presence in London. Despite the more challenging times including fallout from the GFC, we have taken the decision to more formalise our presence in the UK and formed a collaborative arrangement establishing an affiliation with a new company, International Treasury Services (Europe) Limited. It is being operated as a separate entity but under the directorship of a well known and respected colleagues who have a long track record in the banking and finance industry and training. It is expected that the association will enhance our ability to service clients in Europe and the United Kingdom as well as link their businesses into the Middle East and Asia for clients based in that part of the world. This opportunity enhances the depth and breadth to the pool of trainers available to service clients' requirements.
