NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ --

- Volante SWIFT solution works out-of-the-box for message management in
SOAs, applications and on any platform

Powering finance with data management innovations, Volante announced
today that its SWIFT solution has received the first gold label in the new
category of SWIFTReady Messaging Data Services (MDS).

"Volante successfully passed the tests for the MDS certification, which
requires extensive and modular messaging support. We were impressed by the
quality and completeness of the Volante product," said Eric Meirlaen,
Business Analyst at SWIFT.

SWIFT criteria for the SWIFTReady Messaging Data Services (MDS) Label
include supporting SWIFTStandards, in terms of mapping different data source
into SWIFTStandards format, validation against syntactical and semantic
rules, transformation of the messages between different formats (MX, MT), and
deployment of run-time SOA messaging component that can be used by
interfaces, middleware and financial applications.

The Messaging Data Service maps data coming from business applications
into messages and files that are ready to be supplied to any financial
counterparty through SWIFT interfaces. Reversely, it parses message payloads
transferred from SWIFT, and transform them into formats supported by
back-office applications.

"The MDS label is one of the most technologically advanced solution
categories ever defined by SWIFT, and we are proud to be the first vendor to
earn the label," said Vijay Oddiraju, CEO of Volante. "We have fully
developed and tested all SWIFT functions in this solution so that our
customers don't have to. Our goal is to offer maximum ease and simplicity in
implementing SWIFT messaging in any business framework and any IT
environment."

Volante's SWIFT solution has been proven in service-oriented
architectures and other data-centric initiatives by large financial
institutions and industry utilities, and is incorporated into the SOA
offerings of major technology vendors.
