Pegasystems Supports Nordea to Automate Investigations with Business Process Management Software
CAMBRIDGE, MA (PRWEB) October 31, 2004
Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), a leader in rules-based, smart business process management (BPM) software, today announced that it has been chosen as the supplier of business process management software by Nordea, the leading Nordic financial services group.
The initial phase of the program will roll out PegaBANKING™ Smart Investigate™ to four of Nordea’s payment processing areas: Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. Additional projects within global operational services, such as Treasury and Custody, will also be reviewed, with the goal of further enhancing operational processes across the entire organization.
PegaBANKING Smart Investigate, which Pegasystems recently made available on its PegaRULES Process Commander V4 platform, automates inquiry and exception processing activities across numerous wholesale banking departments, including payments, foreign exchange, Nostro reconciliations, and more. It handles the receipt and processing of incoming messages, sends outbound correspondence in SWIFT and other formats, searches for related transactions, and processes compensation claims and adjustments.
“This agreement with Nordea is a great endorsement of Smart Investigate and provides us with an opportunity to work with one of the Nordic region’s largest banks. I understand Nordea was impressed by the business case for Pegasystems and reassured by our successful implementations at UBS and Rabobank,” said David Wells, vice president, Europe, for Pegasystems.
