SunGard Business Integration Releases
New Widely Adaptable Integration Solution
New York, NY - Jun 20, 2000 - SunGard Business
Integration, a leading provider of complete integration solutions for
financial services, today announced the immediate availability of its
new MINT Knowledge Integrator, an easy to adapt, lightweight version of
its proven enterprise application integration (EAI) solution.
The new MINT Knowledge Integrator employs the core functionality of the
robust MINT Knowledge Manager, providing a comprehensive development
environment for defining message types, validation, transformation
rules, and business logic while enabling complete connectivity to
enterprise-wide applications and financial networks. This technology
allows financial services enterprises to achieve strategic business
goals: straight-through processing, reduction of operational risk, and
T+0. The MINT Knowledge Integrator ships with an API to IBM's MQ
Series, the industry's leading message transport layer.
"This unbundling of the MINT core technology allows Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs), Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), third-party
licensees, and end-users to take advantage of SunGard Business
Integration's proven, state-of-the-art integration solution for
e-business enablement in a lightweight, easy to adapt, package,"
explained Hagay Shefi, president and CEO of SunGard Business
Integration. "Our focus continues to be exclusively on developing
integration solutions for the financial services community but, as an
unbundled solution, the MINT Knowledge Integrator allows our partners
to market our technology to other industry sectors as well."
Mr. Shefi added, "MQ Series runs on no fewer than 35 different
platforms. Our decision to include an API to MQ Series was made to
ensure that our customers can use the MINT Knowledge solution while
taking advantage of the most widely used and deployed transport
technology in the financial services marketplace. The MINT Knowledge
Integrator also has an independent API to connect to applications and
networks."
The MINT Knowledge Integrator is available directly through SunGard
Business Integration as well as through their network of partners.
