An XSP client since 2000, this upgrade further streamlines J.P. Morgan Securities' operations with enhanced workflow tools, comprehensive ISO functionality and robust automation capabilities to continue delivering immediate return on investment (ROI) results.

XSP features comprehensive data capture from multiple vendor sources, custodians, prime brokers and agent banks, rules based scrubbing tools, a robust workflow management module and complete entitlement processing. Using client defined queues and user views, tasks and exceptions are automatically routed to the appropriate designated parties for the required action. XSP also offers the functionality to manage client event notifications and election responses through both its ISO module and its web-based component, eTRAN. Using these tools, instructions are automatically captured and updated to the back-end systems for reconciliation and entitlement processing.

Richard Harmer, Associate, Corporate Actions at J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd., said, "The implementation of this upgraded version of XSP supports J.P. Morgan Securities' growing Corporate Actions processing volume whilst providing us with powerful processing capabilities to manage our day-to-day operations. With XSP Version 4.5, we are expanding our use of the ISO functionality, eliminating the need for manual diary entries and fully utilising XSP's powerful workflow tools to manage the complete Corporate Actions lifecycle. We are delighted with the strong working relationship that we have built over the years and are extremely pleased with the continued success of XSP at J.P. Morgan Securities."
