The collaboration will enable international banks and financial institutions to benefit from the integration of FRSGlobal's unified risk and profitability analysis solution RiskPro and regulatory reporting tool RegPro with Rubikon, Neptune's new generation banking platform. Rubikon is uniquely built as a 100% Java solution based on J2EE technology, built on service oriented architecture, with integrated business process management and business intelligence. In addition, the combined solution will leverage the benefits of operating on the same Oracle platform.

The solution will enable Neptune's clients to benefit from the unique FRSGlobal guarantee for regulatory compliance in multiple country deployments - thereby reducing the cost of implementation and operational risk. Neptune will promote the FRSGlobal product suite to existing clients and into new business opportunities as a referral partner in EMEA and APJ - supported by FRSGlobal direct sales.

Alan Goodrich, Neptune, commented, "We have established strong partnerships with leading companies worldwide that represent the 'best of best' in meeting the critical systems implementation, software integration and platform deployment needs of our customers. FRSGlobal is the clear leader in risk and regulatory reporting software, which is why we believe this particular partnership, will be of the utmost benefit to our customers in the current economic climate."

Mark Piper, VP UK, Ireland and MEA, FRSGlobal, said "Neptune is recognised as having a high quality banking system, as evidenced by International Banking Systems naming them as one of the top five banking system vendors, and is a great addition to our group of key alliance partners around the world. With the combination of our established expertise we can ensure that our customers will benefit from the best solutions, global reach and support services."
