Glitnir Bank Selects Siperian to Provide Unified Customer and Product Views Across All Lines of Business


LONDON, January 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Siperian MDM Hub to Support the Bank's New Enterprise Architecture
Initiative

Siperian, Inc. - the developers of a leading master data management (MDM)
platform and Glitnir, a mid-market global corporate and investment bank with
retail and commercial banking services - today announced that Glitnir has
selected Siperian MDM Hub to create an integrated, unified view of customers,
products and relationships. This merger will enable Siperian's master data
management platform to be used across lines of business and front and back
office systems and consolidate Glitnir's business applications, data
warehouses and master data management into a single, enterprise architecture.

"In order to maintain our position in the global markets, we need to
enhance our understanding of our customer relationships and the financial
products they buy," Says Pall Kolka Isberg, Managing Director Shared Services
Office at Glitnir. "The deployment of Siperian MDM Hub will improve our
customer-facing employee's ability to offer clients value added products and
services."

Following several recent mergers and acquisitions in the Nordic region,
Glitnir began overhauling its technology infrastructure in order to
standardize new and existing systems as well as deliver unified views of
customer and product data. This will enable Siperian MDM Hub to synchronize a
variety of systems including accounting, risk management and customer
relationship management to create a single reference database for master
data. As a result, Glitnir will be able to support strategic initiatives in
sales, marketing, risk management and product development while giving
business users access to reliable, complete views of business data.

"Siperian's flexible architecture allows us to configure the master data
management platform to meet our business requirements," Says Isberg.
"Siperian MDM Hub can be deployed in phases so that we can quickly address
our high-priority business needs."

Mid-market corporate and investment banks see a competitive advantage in
leveraging their information assets to create strategic advantages, however,
they often encounter high costs to consolidate information technology. "With
master data management software, mid-market banks can cost effectively create
unified views of master data to enable critical processes such as
cross-selling, customer on-boarding, enterprise risk management and customer
analytics within a single software platform," Says Pall Kolka Isberg.
