(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Tieto Corporation PRESS RELEASE 30 August 2011 at 2.00 pm EET
Tieto's service for the financial and corporate market has received the
SWIFTReady Connectivity best practice label from the global messaging
cooperative SWIFT. The awarded Tieto SWIFT Service Bureau is part of the
company's financial value chain services that manages close to one billion
transactions a year. Providers with the highest operational standards in
availability, security, access control and resiliency are awarded with the
label.
The Tieto SWIFT Service Bureau allows corporations and financial institutions to
communicate with their financial institution counterparties through one highly
secure global channel. The service covers all the operational SWIFT connectivity
needs for corporations and financial institutions - payments, Forex
confirmations, trade finance as well as other messaging. Acquiring the
functionality as a service provides numerous additional business benefits, such
as a decreased need for in-house IT infrastructure, technical competences and
capital investment.
Arun Aggarwal, Managing Director UKI-Nordics, SWIFT, says: "We congratulate
Tieto on achieving the SWIFTReady Connectivity best practice label. It
recognizes Tieto as one of the best in class shared infrastructure providers who
offer the greatest security and resiliency for end-users connecting to SWIFT."
Markus Hautala, Head of Financial Messaging Services, Tieto, says: "We are
seeing significant interest within the financial as well as corporate sectors to
move to centralized cloud based services. In addition to being a provider of
SWIFT connectivity services, we are also a SWIFT user ourselves and understand
that security, reliability and resiliency are important for users of such
services. We are particularly pleased to be awarded with the label within only
12 months after the launch of the service. The label is an evidence of our high
quality services."
The SWIFTReady Connectivity - Best practice Label is the highest form of
certification awarded by SWIFT and helps end-users identify the best-in-class
providers recognized as having the highest operational standards in
availability, security, access control and resiliency. To be awarded the best
practice label, providers must demonstrate that they meet the operational
requirements by undergoing a detailed on-site inspection of their SWIFT
infrastructure, premises, procedures and documentation.
