HONG KONG, July 30 /PRNewswire/ --     Serisys Solutions Limited (Serisys), an IT service provider and system
integrator to the capital markets and banking sector based in Hong Kong, and
pdv Financial Software GmbH (pdv), software provider to international
financial markets, announce a strategic partnership to offer advanced
broking, trading and risk management solutions to the Asia-Pacific market.

The offering will bundle pdv's successful DECIDE trading, position and
risk management platform with Serisys's market and integration expertise to
provide turnkey solutions for customers in the region. The platform will be
available for in-house implementation as well as an Application Service
Provider (ASP) service delivered from Serisys's local data centres.

"We found that the DECIDE product exactly matches the needs of Asian
based market participants," Serisys chairman Tim Marsh says. "With the
continued growth of trading volumes and access to new financial products in
the Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific markets, local banks and brokers are
increasingly finding their current systems do not meet their needs. However,
they are reluctant to bear large implementation risk and cost to upgrade
these for the next generation of trading requirements. Our ASP service will
solve this problem, providing a single, lower cost platform for a wide range
of exchange traded and OTC instruments."

Reinhard Wienke, managing director of pdv, adds, "We are delighted to 
work with Serisys to bring our advanced DECIDE platform and proven ASP
architecture to the Asia-Pacific market. The system's broad scope and German
heritage - from the country with the world's largest traded warrants market -
combined with Serisys's local business process knowledge and experience
enable us to deliver an unbeatable solution easily tailored to Asian
customers' specific requirements."

Marketing and sales will start in Hong Kong and will shortly be expanded
to the entire region.
