SunGard Extends Ambit Messaging Hub to Offer Direct SWIFT FIN Connectivity
SunGard has extended its Ambit Messaging Hub solution to offer direct SWIFT FIN connectivity to its banking customers.
Hong Kong (Vocus/PRWEB ) September 15, 2009 -- SunGard has extended its Ambit Messaging Hub solution to offer direct SWIFT FIN connectivity to its banking customers. The Ambit Messaging Hub, which provides a single platform on which customers can consolidate all financial messaging activity, regardless of format, has been expanded to include an interface for FIN CBT. The FIN CBT interface will provide FIN message handling, expanding the solution's existing FileAct and InterAct capabilities. The solution will also be offered as a packaged interface solution and on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis.
Using the new FIN functionality, banks can connect back-office solutions in multiple locations to SWIFTNet directly, which can help them deploy new solutions faster and in a more cost effective way. The Ambit Messaging Hub solution offers a single interface for SWIFTNet services across the entire enterprise, including branches and customers. Based on Java and J2EE technology, Ambit Messaging Hub supports any message standard, can run on any platform and is database agnostic. This means that it can help bank customers achieve a lower cost of ownership and streamlined infrastructure.
Hans Cobben, executive vice president, global messaging solutions for SunGard's Ambit Messaging business unit, commented: "The Ambit Messaging Hub offers banks a next generation messaging solution that leverages open standards and a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach to application design. The single platform approach allows us to offer new capabilities, such as the interface and advanced message handling for FIN, in addition to existing MX-based SWIFT solution message handling. The availability of the FIN interface through the Ambit Messaging Hub represents an important milestone in our ongoing strategy to offer a next generation messaging platform. "
