Business Wire
IONA� Technologies (NASDAQ: IONA), a world leader in distributed
service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure solutions for
performance-demanding IT environments, today announced that
Milestone Group, a specialist supplier of next generation fund
processing and investment analytic software to investment managers,
banks, life companies, custodians and hedge fund administrators,
has selected IONA�s Artix� Data Integration solution to extend the
messaging and integration capabilities of their pControl funds
processing platform. Milestone Group will deploy Artix Data
Integration solution, including Artix Data Services and Artix ESB,
as part of the next release of pControl�s Data Management module
scheduled for roll-out in the second quarter of 2008. Artix Data
Services will provide real-time data validation and transformation
services for financial services message types, specifically SWIFT,
SWIFTNet Funds and FIX, as well as other message types as required.
By utilizing Artix Data Services, Milestone Group can offer richer
and more cost effective pControl deployments with the broadest
support for industry standards without the need for costly
additional development resources. Artix ESB will provide enhanced
integration of pControl within client environments regardless of
the underlying technologies, middleware or messaging transports.
�Our customers operate within a highly regulated environment where
compliance with industry standards is a non-negotiable
requirement,� said Geoff Hodge, Chief Executive, Milestone Group.
�We see IONA as a clear leader in the financial messaging space
with an established blue chip customer base that includes leading
global financial institutions. The deployment of Artix Data
Services within pControl will allow us to extend pControl�s reach
to support the broadest set of financial messaging standards �out
of the box�. At the same time, IONA�s Artix ESB extends pControl�s
data management capabilities to meet enterprise customer
requirements for enhanced integration, particularly where multiple
technology or middleware platforms exist. IONA�s support for global
industry standards and their technology neutral approach to
integration made Artix an obvious OEM choice for pControl.� Artix
is IONA�s advanced SOA infrastructure suite which offers an
alternative to the proprietary and centralised based approach of
other integration vendors. Artix Data Services offers the broadest
support for financial services standards, message types and
validation rules, including SWIFT, SEPA, FpML, TWIST, ISO 20022,
CREST and FIX, with the ability to model any data format for
complete compliance. Customers can reduce development time and
costs associated with maintaining regulatory compliance with
pre-built and �out of the box� support of messaging and processing
standards. Artix ESB is IONA�s multi-platform and multi-protocol
integration solution that reliably connects diverse application
endpoints without an expensive and cumbersome centralized server.
�Compliance with multiple and frequently changing business-critical
messaging and technology standards is a challenge for any financial
services organization and can very quickly drain the resources of
in-house development teams,� said Peter Zotto, CEO, IONA
Technologies. �Companies such as Milestone Group understand the
benefit of offering their customers an �out of the box� high
performance data validation and processing solution that addresses
the challenges of today�s highly regulated financial services
environment. We look forward to working with Milestone Group to
deliver world leading business application and integration
solutions to our joint financial services customers.� About IONA
