divine Introduces Two Portal Solutions for the Financial Services Industry
Targeted Solutions for Investment Bankers and Off-Trading Floor Professionals Deliver Critical Applications and Premier Content Sources Via a Web-Based, Easy-To-Use Portal
NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- divine, inc., (Nasdaq: DVIN - news), an enterprise solutions company delivering a powerful combination of services, technology and hosting capabilities that advance and extend the enterprise, today introduced two new portal solutions for the financial services industry. These new solutions, Financial Markets Insight(TM) and Investment Banking Insight(TM), deliver all of the premium content sources, critical analytical applications, and data about international companies and markets that financial services professionals require through a Web-based, easy-to-use portal. divine is demonstrating these solutions during the Securities Industry Association Technology Management Conference and Exhibition in New York, June 19-21.
divine's financial portal solutions enable companies to provide their employees with the right mix of applications and premium content from sources like Thomson Financial, Reuters, Standard & Poor's, Fame, Edgar Online, OneSource Information Services -- and, now, Zacks Investment Research -- while controlling costs and tracking the actual use of materials. Leading financial services firms, including Barclays Bank, IMF The World Bank and ABN AMRO, already rely on divine financial portals to help their investment bankers and research professionals to stay on top of real-time news and market developments, manage all the information and applications they need in one place, and quickly conduct thorough research about companies, industries or international markets.
``As the financial services industry consolidates, firms feel more pressure than ever to make the most efficient use of all of their resources and are directing their investments to technology that demonstrates an immediate return,'' said Jim Feingold, who has more than 18 years of marketing and financial markets experience and heads up divine's Financial Services Business Solutions Group. ``divine is uniquely positioned to deliver all of the content, applications, and management tools to help financial services firms create a new kind of employee for this environment, one who is information efficient.''
divine's financial portal solutions are built on the powerful divine portal platform, which is reliable, scalable, and flexible enough to integrate internal content, such as documents, presentations and contracts, with industry-leading external information resources and applications. In addition, these financial industry portals enable companies to intensively monitor information usage with divine Tracker(TM), so they can target spending on the resources that the organization really needs. divine financial portals offer the most important information resources for the industry, including:
-- Thomson Financial Global Access, which supplies instant, desktop access
to a full-range of timely and reliable data drawn from multiple
sources;
-- Reuters News, which provides up-to-the-minute news on U.S. companies
and is included in the basic portal pricing;
-- Zacks Investment Research, which includes earnings estimates, analyst
ratings, income statements, annual balance sheets and brokers reports;
In April, divine acquired SageMaker, Inc., an enterprise information portal solutions company, and incorporated the SageMaker financial portal into two new financial industry portal solutions: divine Financial Markets Insight and divine Investment Banking Insight, which provide even more of the applications and content resources critical to the financial services industry. divine Financial Markets Insight enables financial services firms to better manage and control spending on information sources by targeting specific content and analytical applications to the professionals who need it throughout the organization, and by monitoring the actual use of materials. divine Investment Banking Insight integrates all of the premium content and applications that investment professionals need into a single Web-based interface with universal search capabilities, dramatically reducing time spent on research. So, for example, investment bankers have all the necessary resources at their fingertips to instantly create a pitch book.
In addition to their out-of-the-box capabilities, divine's financial portals can be expanded to include any number of divine's library of more than 300 value-added components, including document management, real-time collaboration and streaming media. In addition, divine offers professional services to support implementation and other customer initiatives, including the integration of legacy data and systems such as SAP.
