Martin Schneider’s Beitrag für Artikel im Der Treasurer

February 3rd, 2012

Der Artikel “Zurückhaltend mobil” in der Februar-Ausgabe von Der Treasurer berichtet, dass viele Unternehmen in Sachen mobile Freigabeverfahren zögern. “Keiner unserer Kunden hat bisher den Wunsch geäußert, Zahlungen außerhalb des Unternehmens freigeben zu wollen“, sagt Martin Schneider, CEO des Schweizer Cash-Management-Beratungshauses Tomato AG.

Den Anfang machen will bislang allerdings kaum einer. „Die Unternehmen reagieren abwartend“ beobachtet Schneider. Im Vergleich zu einem ersten Hype um mobile Zahlungen zur Jahrtausendwende räumt er der Technologie allerdings diesmal größere Chancen ein: „Damals waren mobile Zahlungen ein visionärer Ansatz, über den man sprach, aber der dann wieder verschwand. Diesmal wird sich das Thema dauerhaft weiterentwickeln.“

Everyone is a Genius!

December 24th, 2011

 

Dear Clients and Friends!

Everyone is a Genius! But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

(Albert Einstein)

One of the things we do at Tomato is help individuals and groups identify their genius and show them how they can apply it in their work.

It is amazing what it can do to morale and  productivity!

All the Best and Seasons Greetings
Your Tomato

Brown Bag Lunch, December 7 in Rapperswil

December 13th, 2011

On December 7, Tomato was on the road for a Brown Bag Lunch for the third time this year. For these lunches, we travel to various regions in Switzerland, chose topics that top treasurers’ list of concerns; and the invited people don’t have to travel more than 30 minutes. This way, treasurers have a full day at the office and can attend a workshop over lunch with other treasurers.

Details: Brown Bag Lunch (English), Brown Bag Lunch (German)

Six treasurers we’ve worked with over the years participated in the recent Brown Bag Lunch in Rapperswil. The strong Swiss franc and Payment gateways were first on these treasurers’ mind.

What they appreciated most is the small group setting and us knowing their systems. We were able to answer such questions as “What would you do if you were in my shoes and presented with this and that issue?” with doable steps towards a desired solution.

If you would like to host a Brown Bag Lunch or have a burning question you’d like to discuss with fellow treasurers, please contact us: 044 814 2001.

Best Employers in Switzerland

December 12th, 2011

Nestlé, Google and Credit Suisse have been rated the best companies to work for in Switzerland in a survey of around 3,700 professionals.

The Ideal Employer Rankings compiled by Swedish consultants Universum Communications sets out which companies are on most business professionals’ wish lists when it comes to employer attractiveness and career expectations.

The balance between work and private life remained the main deciding factor when choosing an employer, ahead of intellectual challenges. Those polled were less concerned about the job itself.

The top 10 include: Nestlé, Credit Suisse, UBS, Google, L’Oréal, Swatch Group, PwC, SWISS, Procter & Gamble, McKinsey & Company

Dear friends of Tomato

Once a year, around Christmas time, the Tomato team observes a very special flight from our 6th floor offices with a fantastic view of Zurich airport and its runways.

We’d like you to share our “plane spotting” in a Christmas Apéro on Friday, December 2 from 4 p.m. onwards. We look forward to seeing you!

If you are not from the Zurich area but happen to visit Zurich that day, we would be particularly happy to see you!

For our planning in food and beverages and surprises, it would be great if you could email us.
