With its 2004 recertification, the SeeBeyond Integrated Composite Application Network (ICAN) Suite 5.0 has once again met the stringent qualification criteria of SWIFT, confirming SeeBeyond's ability to manage all SWIFT message types, mappings, industry market practices and STP guidelines as directed by SWIFT.

"We appreciate and recognise the enthusiasm and professionalism shown by SeeBeyond in obtaining the Financial EAI label for its ICAN product suite in 2004," said Olivier Roucloux, analyst, SWIFT. "We look forward to exploring new opportunities together with SeeBeyond to make sure its product offering evolves towards a leading SWIFTNet single-window integration system."

"The SeeBeyond suite provides a standards-based integration framework to optimise operations, reduce costs and increase investment protection in existing systems," said Larry Scott, vice president of Financial Services for SeeBeyond. "This recertification recognises SeeBeyond's ongoing commitment to supporting our financial services customers in establishing an infrastructure to enable service-oriented Straight-Through Processing (STP)."

SeeBeyond's SWIFT solutions are extensive, comprising several eWay(tm) Intelligent Adapters to connect seamlessly any back-office applications, including CICS, IMS or iSeries, directly to SWIFTNet FIN. Customers can choose between AFT (Automated File Transfer), high-performance ADK (SWIFT API) or MQSA (SWIFTAlliance Adapter for MQSeries). ICAN provides full support for the entire FIN message library, funds messages, the network validation and market practice rules, and BIC/BIC+ code look-up and validation.
