FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alogent’s Image and Data Exchange Solution Selected by SunTrust

BAI TransPay, LAS VEGAS, May 19, 2004  – Alogent Corp., a provider of payment transaction processing solutions for global financial institutions, remittance processors and payment processors, today announced that SunTrust Banks, Inc., one of the nation’s largest commercial banking organizations, has selected its Sierra Xchange®™, Unified Payments Gateway™ solution, which operates as an intelligent payment processing and image exchange engine.

Using Alogent’s Sierra Xchange®, which collects, corrects, balances and distributes paper, data and image transactions from all points of origination to multiple, configurable endpoints, SunTrust will perform image quality analysis, and send and receive images and data through image cash letters. Images and data will initially be received from and sent to the Viewpointe Image ShareTM service. Viewpointe is the largest national shared archive for check image and retrieval services. In addition, Sierra Xchange® will perform image quality analysis on images from the SunTrust in-house image capture systems. SunTrust will benefit from increased processing quality and speed, and reduced costs, as well as from a platform that provides a transparent transition to image exchange. "As image exchange agreements, quality standards and third-party clearinghouse participation continue to evolve, banks are challenged with accommodating a variety of image exchange alternatives, as well as near constant adaptation to change,” Brian Geisel, CEO of Alogent, said.  “While banks can implement varied solutions to accommodate multiple imperatives, SunTrust has recognized it is far more efficient and cost effective to partner with a company that can provide a flexible payments gateway to accommodate all inputs, outputs and workflows. We are extremely pleased to assist SunTrust with its transition to full image and data exchange." SunTrust Senior Vice President, Lee Crocker, said, “Our partnership with Alogent is a key step in the recognition of our image share and exchange objectives.  With the Sierra Xchange® solution SunTrust will be positioned to more rapidly adapt to the changing payments landscape, while continuing to provide exceptional service to our customers.” “Financial institutions need to re-engineer their check processing operations as they deal with reduced volumes and check truncation,” said Robert Hunt, senior analyst at TowerGroup. “This revitalization of the business process, however, has to be aligned with systems that are highly scalable for meeting peak demands and are flexible in design to meet changing business and regulatory requirements.” The paper payments processing landscape is transitioning to a mix of paper, data and image.  Sierra Xchange® enables banks to efficiently converge paper, data, and image to process both intrabank transactions originating at branches, ATMs, cash vaults and merchant locations, as well as interbank data and image exchange.  About SunTrust SunTrust Banks, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia , is one of the nation's largest commercial banking organizations.
