Information Mosaic Discusses Managing Operational Risk Through Corporate Actions Automation at SIFMA Operations 2010

NEW YORK, April 27, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- Involvement in Development of New SWIFT ISO 20022 Messages Puts Information Mosaic Centre Stage to Discuss Best Practice Application of Standards for Corporate Actions Automation

Information Mosaic, the global provider of post-trade automation solutions, will be sponsoring SIFMA Operations 2010 on the 4th - 7th May in Palm Desert, California. Key industry players will gather to discuss critical operational challenges such as regulation and compliance, managing risk, reducing costs, improving customer service and providing a platform for business growth and scale.

"Research firms have estimated that 12% to 15% of operating income is at risk due to inefficient corporate actions processing," says Gerard Bermingham, Vice President of Business Strategy for the Americas. "Add to this a pressing need to reduce operational risk by cutting out the need for manual interventions, plus due diligence requirements to improve transparency and reporting to both regulators and customers and you have a pretty compelling case for automating corporate actions processing. We look forward to talking to the delegates at SIFMA Operations this year about the best practice approaches to this challenge."

As one of the only vendors involved in the development of the new SWIFT ISO 20022 standard, Information Mosaic has long seen the value of standards such as XBRL and ISO 20022 for facilitating the automation of corporate actions communications, improving quality, accuracy and timeliness of data, and mitigating risk. With an expected cross-over period of support for ISO 15002 and ISO 20022, Information Mosaic is committed to providing clients with the flexibility to maintain multiple standards as necessary.

Information Mosaic will be sponsoring the Exhibit Hall Reception at SIFMA Operations 2010 on Wednesday May 5 from 4 - 6.30pm, and will showcase its award-winning corporate actions automation solution and distribute its latest white papers "Issues in Corporate Actions Administration: Supporting the Growth in Securities Lending" and "Proxy Voting: Ensuring Complete Transparency through Automated Communication and E-Voting".

Gerard Bermingham, Vice President of Business Strategy for the Americas, and Ivar Eilertsen, Director of Americas, will be available for interviews on-site at SIFMA Operations 2010. For further details or to schedule an interview please contact Nicola Garvin on the details below.
