Indocam Subsidiary of Credit Agricole Selects SunGard Solutions for Integrated Straight-through Processing

Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers

WAYNE, Pa. (BUSINESS WIRE) Aug. 7, 2000

SunGard (NYSE:SDS) today announced that Indocam, one of Europe's leading asset management firms, has licensed an integrated straight-through processing (STP) solution.

SunGard's intelliMATCH trade reconciliation and matching system and Decalog order management and trading system have been integrated using SunGard Business Integration's MINT Knowledge Hub.

Like many institutions in the global asset management industry, Indocam required an STP solution to address its trade processing requirements, to minimize manual intervention and reduce point-to-point interfaces in its heterogeneous back-office systems environment.

Indocam's priority was the creation of a strategic Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) platform, including external interoperability with networks such as Oasys, Global Direct and SWIFT.

In particular, Indocam needed a complete business integration solution to incorporate sophisticated trade matching and reconciliation capabilities. Xavier Barrois, managing director for IT at Indocam, explained, "We were keen to identify a major vendor who not only provided excellent STP technology and credentials in terms of understanding the complexities of our business process, but provided more functionality and value added. With SunGard, we found a complete solution offering which fully met our requirements."

Hagay Shefi, president and chief executive officer of SunGard Business Integration, commented, "This impressive client win represents the essence of what SunGard Business Integration does best. We leverage the various best-of-breed business applications from across SunGard and provide an integrated solution through the MINT Knowledge Hub."
