Introducing ...

real-time access to centralised SWIFTNet FIN  data ...

 

ClarityInfo is a thin-client application and links users by secure web server connectivity, offering centralised management and easy access to enterprise-wide business data.

 

It provides functionality not otherwise available on SWIFT Alliance Access and takes advantage of XML, Java and RDBMS technologies.


ClarityInfo provides a consolidated overview of the activity on SWIFT for real-time liquidity reporting, traffic reconciliation (MIS), billing, archiving and message retrieval (investigations). 

 

It analyses traffic volumes and message routes (to and from counterparties and countries) by line of business, geography, and how these evolve over time (trends).

 

 

 

ClarityInfo is used extensively in a wide range of applications, from data aggregation and powerful investigations to monitoring message flows for duplicates.

 

The system supports Oracle and SQL Server databases, integrating easily with the most critical object-oriented, real-time Intranet applications and back-office systems.

It also offers unparalleled connectivity using open links such as MQ, TCP/IP and other proprietary links.

Reporting

Clarity Info is installed with 30 ready-to-use reports, including NAK’d messages report, duplicate messages and other standard reports include daily NOSTRO Positions, Cash Liquidity. Intra Day Balances etc.

Financial Reports  

These focus on FIN financial messages.  For example, payments sent, payments received, summary of transactions etc. 

Traffic Reports

These focus on the messages processed by SWIFTAlliance. They provide exception reports (ISN, OSN, Duplicates and Nak’s), message lists and statistic information about the traffic generated and received by SWIFTAlliance.

Billing Reports

These provide FIN message billing and charge-back information.  By uploading the SWIFT Price Plan into the ClarityInfo database, it also produces an accurate invoice report for reconciliation with SWIFT FIN charges.

User-defined Reports

ClarityInfo is extensible, which means that you can modify an existing report or write your custom reports using a third party reporting tool such as Crystal Reports.

 

ClarityInfo’s database schema is available for this type of user development and integration with other financial applications.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clarity Info Schematic

 

 

 

 

The system receives all incoming and outgoing SWIFT messages from the bank's interface systems (SWIFT Alliance, Fastwire, MERVA etc.).

This may be in real-time, utilising communications links such as MQ, TCP/IP or Batch Input.

All incoming and outgoing messages received by the system are stored in a relational database using industry-standard database connectivity (JDBC).

The application is supplied with a virtually transparent run time version of the “ClaritySwitch” relational database, such as SQL Server or ORACLE.

It is a "thin-client" application, implemented as Java Server Pages (JSPs) and deployed on the ClaritySwitch web server. The JSPs are downloaded and executed from the desktop via a web browser.

Clarity Info links users to a financial database with secure web server connectivity, offering centralised management and easy access to enterprise-wide business data.

Management information can be directly fed into back- office systems. e.g.treasury and accounting systems ... and can also be output to email, Web, PDF, EXCEL, WORD, Fax etc.
