ALOGENT RECOGNIZED AT THE BANKER’S 2003 TECHNOLOGY AWARDS

-Wins Highly Commended Award for payment processing -

 Technology Awards LONDON – June 2, 2003 - Alogent Corp., a provider of payment transaction processing solutions for global financial institutions, remittance and payment processors, announced it was awarded the Highly Commended certificate of merit by The Banker Technology Awards.

The Banker Technology Awards are designed to provide financial institutions around the world with information about key business areas and the technological expertise that exists within them.  These awards recognize best of breed, innovation, and success in financial technology.  Selected from over 1,000 entries, Alogent was certified Highly Commended for payments processing in the retail markets and investment category as well as the wholesale markets category.

“We are honoured to be recognized by The Banker for our work in payment processing,” said Haydn John, managing director, Europe for Alogent Corp.  “This award recognizes that we were early to see that the payment environment is in transition with a changing mix of paper, data, and image.  Our solutions offer global financial institutions an evolutionary path to migrate from a paper bound environment to straight through cheque processing at a pace of their choice.”

Cheque volumes in the U.K. have been in decline since the early 1990s.  This has resulted in rising unit costs, motivating banks to streamline cheque processing, and revitalise their branch networks.  In 2002, Alogent announced that its Sierra Clearing product was chosen as the platform to process cheques for iPSL, the joint venture responsible for processing 70% of the cheques written in the U.K.  The previous year, Alogent reported that its Sierra Xpedite product was selected for deposit automation at over 500 branches at Lloyds TSB Bank.  This was followed by Barclays Bank plc choosing Sierra Xpedite for deposit automation at 700 branches in 2002.  In both these cases, Sierra Xpedite is integrated with Sierra Clearing at iPSL to provide straight through check processing.

According to recent studies, cheque volumes in the United States have flattened and probably begun to decline.  Alogent has been successful in building on its success in the U.K., and is aligning with the growing need in the U.S. marketplace for solutions that reduce costs, improve quality, and accelerate transactions.  Alogent’s Sierra Xpedite will be implemented at 270 branches at World Savings Bank, and across 1800 branches at one of the 10 largest banks in the U.S.
