Financial institutions—including some of the world's largest banks, securities firms, and clearing houses—use SunGard solutions and networks to integrate their internal applications and connect with counterparties across the industry.  By making use of transaction networks, they are able to deploy straight-through processing not only in their internal operations, but also in conducting business with other firms, helping to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and mitigate risk.

 

Our applications address the key facets of securities transaction processing, including order routing, clearance and settlement, funding, regulatory and tax reporting, investment accounting and safekeeping.  Institutional broker-dealers, retail brokers, investment banks, correspondent clearing firms, and community banks rely on SunGard solutions every day to ensure smooth, efficient operations in a real-time environment from order to settlement.

 

Our solutions link institutions throughout the financial services value chain to provide automated trade order routing for a variety of security types, including US and foreign equities, fixed income, mutual funds, money market funds, certificates of deposit and commercial paper.

 

We provide capabilities for bringing together information and workflows across multiple platforms and disparate databases.  Our solutions deliver a simpler, faster and more scalable environment that is real-time, continuously available, and designed for high-volume processing on the complete spectrum of trading activity at the firm or account level, spanning across traditionally distinct business lines including derivatives, FX, and equities.

 

We also offer technologies that assist our customers in implementing straight-through processing across their enterprises. Our solutions enable direct links between the various internal and third party systems that most organizations rely upon, as well as automated exceptions processing, which customers use to further reduce the number of transactions requiring manual intervention.
