Misys Extends SWIFTNet Access to Banks, Fund Managers and Corporations
By Misys Plc, PRNESunday, October 24, 2010
LONDON, October 25, 2010 - Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces the launch of its SWIFTNet Service Bureau
to any financial institution requiring SWIFTNet access. This established
service has previously only been available to existing customers of the
Confirmation Matching Service and trade finance solutions from Misys.
This move underlines the company's commitment to providing
market-leading SWIFT services and extending the benefits of the SWIFT network
to corporates and financial institutions of any size.
"The up-front investment required for institutions to join the
SWIFT network has often prevented all but the largest from benefiting from
direct access, particularly when expecting full integration with their
business processes," states Gil Bray, Solutions Director, Misys. "Our SWIFT
services proposition removes that barrier by offering integrated SWIFTNet
access as a service for corporations and financial institutions either
standalone or embedded into existing Misys products. Many more customers are
now able to make financial transactions more securely, at a lower cost and
with a deeper level of business integration."
Misys has an enviable track record in this market, having
provided customers with a hosted SWIFT data centre for over 18 years,
delivering and receiving financial messages for treasury confirmation
matching and trade finance. During this time, Misys customers have benefited
from the highest standards of security and support. The company's
state-of-the-art data centre can boast an unbroken record of 100%
availability - not once requiring a switch over to its back-up data centre or
suffering a system outage.
In addition to SWIFTNet connectivity, Misys is also able to
offer its hosted data centre services for corporations or financial
institutions seeking to outsource their disaster recovery back-up centres.
The service is supported by a dedicated team that is available in the three
major time zones and is also supported by a trained systems and operations
group.
