Brewin Dolphin, the Largest Independent Private Client Investment Manager in the UK, Selects Zoomix Accelerator to Automate the Processing of Customer and Financial Instrument Data


LONDON, April 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Zoomix Accelerator is the Only Solution Available for the Automated 
Classification, Standardization and Matching of Millions of Complex Customer 
and Financial Instrument Data Records, Without the Need for any Manual Rule 
or Script Development

Zoomix, a leading provider of advanced enterprise master data management
solutions, today announced that Brewin Dolphin Ltd., the UK investment firm
managing portfolios worth GBP21.6 billion for over 120,000 clients, selected
Zoomix's self-learning data management software, Zoomix Accelerator. Brewin
Dolphin is implementing Zoomix Accelerator to automate the matching,
standardization and classification of hundreds of thousands of customer and
financial data records.

Zoomix Accelerator's self-learning technology provides Brewin Dolphin
with a solution to rapidly and accurately address the core challenges of
effective data management, integrated into common business workflows. The
system automatically learns the relationships and meanings relevant to any
data domain by observing decisions made by business users and incorporating
them into its knowledge base for application to future operations. This
approach avoids the lengthy and expensive manual rule, script and dictionary
development required by other approaches - and provides far greater accuracy
and flexibility in complex data domains.

In the customer data realm, Brewin Dolphin was seeking a solution to
ensure that every client is assigned a unique customer ID, regardless of how
many different accounts or recorded name variations exist for that customer.
Joint accounts, containing multiple names, presented an added layer of
complexity to this challenge. This is a critical element of complying with
Financial Services Authority (FSA) transaction reporting requirements.

For financial instrument data, one of the primary business challenges is
to rapidly consolidate large volumes of data from external trusted sources
such as Thomson and Reuters into the company's operational databases while
ensuring that every data record remains consistent, complete and unique.

Brewin Dolphin is integrating Zoomix Accelerator into its data processing
infrastructure for the online processing of both customer and financial data.
In addition to providing the software, Zoomix is providing consulting
services to most efficiently integrate the system with Brewin Dolphin's
existing IT infrastructure and to guide business users in rapidly applying
the full power of the software.

Brewin Dolphin selected Zoomix Accelerator for its self-learning
capabilities and its ability to process both customer and financial product
data on a single platform. It was also the only solution that offered all
three of the data processing functions sought: matching, standardization and
classification.

"We expect Zoomix Accelerator to serve an important role in some of our
key data-focused initiatives in a variety of customer and financial
instrument data domains," said Aurora Diaz, Divisional Director of Data
Management at Brewin Dolphin. "We were impressed with the software's ability
to deliver a high degree of accuracy in a very short period of time, without
any development effort on our part."

"We are very pleased to be working with Brewin Dolphin on solving a
number of key enterprise data processing challenges," said Nathan Birtle,
Zoomix's General Manager of European Operations. "We are confident that
Brewin Dolphin's decision to implement Zoomix Accelerator will result in
substantial competitive advantage and cost savings to the company, within a
very short time frame."
