Next generation, service-oriented, smart-client architecture delivers enhanced performance through further functionality, additional option structures and improved interfacing
LONDON - 24th July 2006 - Misys Banking Systems, a global leader in banking software and solutions, will be showcasing the very latest release of Misys Opics Plus on a roadshow to customers based in Hong Kong, Manila and Jakarta. Misys Opics Plus, the .NET smart client release that provides next generation service orientated, smart client architecture, is designed to offer users the ability to process a wide range of cross-asset financial instruments from front office through to back office and is expected to be of particular interest to the fast growing Asian market.
Developed as a single product, the solution handles vanilla and complex derivatives, fixed income and equity and treasury trades on one platform. Misys Opics customers will see faster performance, new functionality and a new architecture that enables multi-tiered and parallel processing. The service also ensures improved usability and provides a scalability that can meet anticipated volume growth in the future.
Misys Opics already plays a valuable part of over 140 financial institutions, spanning more than 250 sites across the globe. Key highlights of the improved service include a new intuitive user interface designed to offer improved levels of flexibility and adaptability, a customisable desktop that can be tailored to the preferences of both individuals and groups of users and an open architectural framework that keeps the Smart Client separate from the core Misys Opics Plus processing, allowing easy substitution of an alternative user interface.
"Moving Misys Opics to the .Net environment has already started to realise significantly improved performance and the latest service innovations are intended to help our customers plan more effectively for the future," comments David Stewart, Misys Opics Product Manager, Misys Banking Systems. "Using Misys Opics Plus gives customers scalability to support growth in both future volumes and transaction complexity. The roadshow is intended to provide businesses with a unique insight into the benefits that this technology affords."
The three events in Hong Kong, Manila and Jakarta will take place on 28th July, 31st July and 2nd August respectively and, in addition, will showcase both the Misys Opics Risk and Misys Eagleye solutions.
