Today PPT announced they had received the SWIFT 2009 E&I Certificate of Conformance for its E&I Management solution Release 1.3.

PPT's Exceptions Management solution, the Wire Transfer Wizard for E&I Release 1.3, was specifically conceived to meet the challenges of SWIFT Exceptions management and quickly establish the company as one of the few organisations specialising in this arena.

PPT's Exceptions Management solution - WTW for E&I Release 1.3 - was awarded the SWIFT E&I Certificate of Conformance in 2008 and again for this year (2009). The solution supports all current and planned XML SWIFTNet E&I cases and messages for bank to bank and bank to corporate exceptions management. It incorporates rules based decision making and supports all required E&I cases and workflow management.

New features of the WTW for E&I Management include Corporate to Bank Exceptions Management, additional automation, reviewed GUI and a new technological platform (J2EE, SOA, SaaS, database independent, browser independent).

The solution is designed to be highly user friendly, intuitive and compact, requiring minimal training and allowing fast and effective usage. Additionally, it was conceived for easy implementation and to integrate with Web services or API based connectors to SWIFT Alliance Access, legacy systems, and leading reconciliation, treasury management, messaging and e-banking solutions.

PPT Exceptions Management solution enables the banks and corporates to send, receive and process all their exceptions messages, in MT and MX formats. Routing information and message details are picked up directly from the underlying payment messages. As and when required, the WTW for E&I Management converts the exception messages to and from MT, as required by the agreement between the bank and its correspondent(s).
