AMP Selects Matisse 8 for its Next Generation Securities Compliance Management System for Financial Services
AMP Relies on Matisse 8 to comply with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission regulations.

Mountain View, CA - October 20, 2006 – Matisse Software today announces that AMP, a 150 years old Australian financial services firm, selects Matisse 8 for its next generation securities compliance management system for financial services.

For over a decade, AMP has been using Matisse to ensure clearance and compliance for securities regulations. The Securities Compliance management system built atop Matisse enables it to capture large amounts of real-time trade and clearances, while ensuring audit trails for securities compliance. In recent years, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission regulations have been rapidly changing and are becoming more complex each year while financial services companies must continuously show that they understand and comply with the regulations in the relevant acts of parliament. To do this they must have a truly adaptive compliance management system, in which issues and risks are identified, controlled and regularly assessed. The newly released Matisse 8 is the perfect solution to build AMP’s next generation of securities compliance management system.

“Matisse 8 offers an unequaled value proposition to build an adaptive financial solution that requires high performance on complex data.” Said Didier Cabannes, CEO of Matisse Software. “ Since Matisse 8 simplifies and accelerates development through the fusion of native object support and SQL, AMP could deploy their next generation of securities compliance management system in a record time”.
