ERI Banking Software is piloting Alliance Integrator, the new SWIFT-specific integration layer that customers will be able to install between their business applications and Alliance Access. Once the pilot phase is complete, Alliance Integrator will be widely available from the end of march 2009.

ERI is the only software provider involved in the pilot phase. Alliance Integrator will help customers minimise their operational risk and will take out a lot of costs and complexity in their business, according to Paul Doody, ERI’s International Director of Sales and Marketing. ERI is the provider of the Olympic banking System, which provides wealth and funds management services to corporates.

“We understand that our customers are struggling with the complexity of the funds clearing and settlement process. We think that this will give our customers the opportunity to gain some clarity,” says Doody.

ERI has a strong presence in the wealth markets and there is a lot of overlap between users of the Olympic Banking System and SWIFT. “It has been great for us to work with SWIFT on such a key project. We’ve literally just started the pilot phase and so far it’s been a dream, although it is very early stages,” says Doody.
