Spanish Point builds SWIFT integration solutions using Microsoft BizTalk Server 

As a financial institution you are faced with a daunting challenge - myriad applications and systems that must be integrated with customers, partners, and external financial networks.  Firms operating in banking, capitol markets, payments, and corporate finance no longer need to tolerate integration projects with long delivery cycles and drawn-out returns.  Using BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT technology (A4SWIFT) and the SWIFT format and network, Spanish Point consultants will work with your teams to design and implement integrated end-to-end systems which automate the initiation, settlement, and reconciliation of payments, trades and other transactions.  These comprehensive, reliable, and secure systems leverage the BizTalk Server environment and will enable you to reduce your financial messaging, processing and cash management costs dramatically.

Microsoft Office InfoPath integration.

With InfoPath our consultants can simplify the information gathering process and make it easy to reuse that information throughout your business. InfoPath provides information workers with tools that enable them to create dynamic forms to gather and share information across a wide range of business processes. BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT provides all SWIFT FIN and XML-based messages as InfoPath templates, enabling manual message entry and repair facilities.

Microsoft SharePoint Server integration.

Microsoft SharePoint Server integrates with Accelerator for SWIFT in repairing the messages that have network or XML based errors. The repair process uses Web services and connects to SharePoint through BizTalk SharePoint Adapter. Faulty messages are added to the SharePoint folder allowing information workers to fi x them. Once fixed they are resubmitted to BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT for processing.

Enhanced scalability.

Construct massively scalable messaging- and orchestration based applications through scale-out architecture. BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT meets the demands of even the largest enterprises with built-in support for multiple processor servers, server clustering, and integration with unlimited internal applications and external partners.

Business Activity Monitoring.

Getting the information you need at the right time is critical. Important customer relationships are often made or broken solely on access to information. In a competitive environment access to reliable, real time data can provide critical advantage regarding the status of operations and a client’s business. The Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) framework in BizTalk Server gives you that advantage. By opening a window into running business processes, BAM provides operations managers and business analysts with direct visibility into transactions—an area that has traditionally been closed to them.

SWIFTNet FileAct and InterAct Adapters.

The Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT now includes adapters for SWIFTNet FileAct and InterAct. These adapters provide connectivity between Microsoft BizTalk Server and the SWIFT secure IP network (SIPN) via the SWIFTNet link (SNL) application programming interfaces. SIPN enables SWIFT customers to transfer messages and fi les using InterAct and FileAct, respectively, over a secure, private network and facilitates bilateral communication between financial industries, market infrastructures, and customers.
