Seperately, SunGard Business Integration today announced that Harvard Management Company (HMC) has gone live on its Swift ASP solution in order to achieve ISO 15022 migration. Messages are sent to and from the client's host applications, and are transformed by the ASP into ISO 15022 compliant Swift messages and routed as appropriate. The ASP service is hosted at SunGard’s data centre in Voorhees, New Jersey.

John Bergen, director of back office systems for the Harvard Management Company, says the ASP-based service eliminates the need to invest in things like additional security, hardware, and software. "This is money we’d rather allocate towards other areas of our longer-term STP initiatives, including automating and managing our global trading system."
