Global Financial Services Standard for Payments Processing FAIRFAX,
Va., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- webMethods, Inc. (NASDAQ:WEBM), a
leading business integration and optimization software company,
today announced that the company's flagship product suite,
webMethods Fabric(TM), has been awarded the SWIFTReady Financial
EAI Gold Certification for 2006. By recognizing webMethods with its
highest level of certification for interoperability, SWIFT (the
Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) has
validated the product suite's support for all SWIFT messaging
types, mappings and associated best practices; its adherence with
established guidelines for Straight Through Processing (STP),
including transformation and routing; and its demonstrated support
for SWIFTNet connectivity. These standards and protocols ensure
reliable, secure and assured messaging between nearly 8,000
financial institutions spanning more than 200 countries.
"webMethods has established itself as a strong partner to SWIFT,
helping our customers fully meet the performance and assurance
requirements associated with payments processing," said Eric
Meirlaen, EAI Industry Analyst, SWIFT. "In achieving our highest
level of certification, webMethods has proactively demonstrated its
ability to meet the latest standards offered by SWIFT. We
appreciate the speed and efficiency in which they've been able to
help financial services institutions enact these standards." For
webMethods' more than 125 financial services customers, the
benefits of this certification are twofold. First, it helps to
ensure that these organizations can standardize on a single
integration platform for all of their inter-application, intra-bank
and external integration requirements, including SWIFT-based
communications. In doing so, they not only benefit from the
scalability, performance and security offered by webMethods Fabric,
but also from the economies of scale and other efficiencies
associated with maintaining a single, fully-integrated platform. In
addition, these organizations can take advantage of additional
components of the webMethods Fabric product suite, such as business
process management (BPM) and business activity monitoring (BAM), to
further automate their SWIFT-related processes and to deliver
additional transactional assurance. SWIFT interoperability is also
an important component of the webMethods Payments Monitoring
solution, which helps to optimize payments operations with
deadline, Service Level Agreement (SLA) and exception management
features and continuous controls monitoring for regulatory
compliance. "webMethods is proud to count many of the world's
largest financial service institutions as customers," said Jim

Solutions, webMethods, Inc. "These organizations recognize that our
proven performance, full support for industry standards, and
