What's New in Artix Data Services 3.6

Artix Data Services
SWIFT FIN SR2007
Standard Library

Provides complete support for SWIFT FIN Standards Release 2007 including:

• 240+ FIN Message Types
• 2000+ FIN Network Validation Rules
• 28,000 Test case instance documents

On October 27, the SWIFT organization will mandate a change from Standards Release 2006 (SR2006) to SR2007.

The Artix Data Services SWIFT Standards Library facilitates the implementation of SWIFT messaging Straight Through Processing (STP).

SWIFT messages sent on the network after October 27 which are not in the SR2007 format will be rejected. By adopting this standard library, companies will save at least 50% of their development time when implementing and updating SWIFT messages vs hand coding.

Artix Data Services SEPA Standard Library

Provides support for the European Payment Council (EPC) SEPA initiative, specifically the SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) Scheme and SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) scheme including:

• 12 message types (pacs, pain)
• 20 + ISO20022 validation rules
• 300 test cases

The Artix Data Services SEPA Standards Library will facilitate the adoption of SEPA by European companies and institutions enabling a more efficient payment system and systemically strengthening the euro.

For large merchants and corporates, common standards could further enable the construction of one standard platform for the whole SEPA resulting in major savings. One single file in a common format can be used to receive and send payments throughout SEPA.

Banks will have opportunities to develop innovative products, enter new markets and win new relationships.

For government and public administrations, the common schemes will enable the delivery of improved services to citizens at home and abroad.

Artix Data Services DTCC Deriv/SERV Standard Library

Provides support for OTC derivatives contracts enabling the creation of Financial Products Mark-up Language (FpML) trade confirmation messages which are Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) format compatible; includes both generic FpML and DTCC Deriv/SERV specializations

Helps firms move to straight through processing (STP) without the costs associated with custom development
