Below are some examples of how Cloverleaf finance is being used by HIE Banking & Finance clients. Price feeds: Cloverleaf finance is being used to process securities tapes on a daily basis. The relevant securities information is extracted, reformatted and written to a relational database (Sybase) in the format required by the client's various application systems. In a similar fashion, a leading Investment Bank in Johannesburg uses Cloverleaf finance to process an on-line price feed produced by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JetFeed). This constant stream of data is reformatted and distributed to a number of the client's business applications either by direct transfer (TCP/IP) or by delivering the price data to files and databases in the format required by the various systems. Database Synchronization: Cloverleaf finance was used by an Investment Bank to help reduce the number of Counter-party databases maintained within their systems from four to two. One of the databases that had to be retained was a proprietary database central to their AS/400-based Equation banking system. The other three were processed by a number of in-house systems now populated by Cloverleaf finance. The counter-party information was extracted from all the existing databases, reformatted and inserted into the newly designed Party database using Microsoft SQL Server running under Windows NT. Once the new database had been created, Cloverleaf finance was then used to keep the new database and the Equation files in sync by detecting any changes on either side, reformatting the data accordingly, and then updating the other system. Front-Office/Back-Office Integration: A leading Polish Investment Bank has deployed Cloverleaf finance as an online data transfer and re-formatting mechanism between its newly installed Reuters Kondor+ deal capture system and its existing IBM AS/400-based IBIS/AS back-office system. The Cloverleaf finance implementation enabled the bank to take a process involving a new front end application, a legacy back end application, and a lot of manual ''rework," and turn it into an automated process allowing data entered into the front end system to be reformatted, enriched and inserted into the processing undertaken by the legacy back office system. A leading UK-based Investment Bank is using Cloverleaf finance to distribute and reformat data within its network of interacting systems. Over the years the client has built up a complex set of data flows between its applications systems - some built in-house and some third-party proprietary software. Cloverleaf finance manages the flow of transactional data during the day in real-time, and also synchronizes much of the overnight file transfers that are time-and-event driven as the various streams reach certain points in their end of day processes. External Gateways-S.W.I.F.T.: In addition to the normal data transfer and connectivity benefits that Cloverleaf finance brings to a client as a systems integration toolkit, Cloverleaf finance's ability to parse and build S.W.I.F.T. messages has allowed a number of clients to use Cloverleaf finance to increase their Straight Through Processing (STP) capabilities. Cloverleaf finance processes the client's data, generates the appropriate S.W.I.F.T. messages in the required format, and delivers them to the S.W.I.F.T. Alliance gateway for dispatch to the S.W.I.F.T. network. Similarly, incoming S.W.I.F.T. messages are routed, copied and reformatted, as required, to the appropriate client applications. This capability allows reformatting to S.W.I.F.T. standards and any other similar S.W.I.F.T.-like implementations now being introduced in various countries' national payment systems and local securities settlement systems. External Gateways-Electronic Trade Confirmation/Custodian: A major vendor of Asset Management software is using Cloverleaf finance as an integration tool to assist their clients in building links between their own Electronic Trade Confirmation (ETC) sub-systems and Custodians who are using their own proprietary formats and protocols. Cloverleaf finance translates the vendor's internal formats into those required by the Custodians and ensures a smooth and integrated link between the Asset Manager and the Custodian, without the need to change the vendor's application code.

HIE entered the banking & financial arena in early 1998. Several leading banks have signed as Cloverleaf customers, and several industry-leading companies have become our partners. DST Systems, Inc. is a large application vendor and information processing service provider to the mutual fund, insurance, and banking industries. Its applications include mutual fund distribution products, record-keeping and administrative systems, and work management and telephony products. Its clients include Janus Capital and T. Rowe Price Corporation. The company has operations worldwide. For more information, visit dstsystems.com Our partnership with Edify Corporation is aimed at creating solutions for electronic banking customers needing rapid application integration, and pairs Edify's market-leading Electronic Banking System with HIE's message broker, OM3. Customers will be able to seamlessly permit message-based connectivity of legacy applications with the Electronic Banking System through this technology, releasing this fall. For more information, visit edify.com Trace Computers PLC is a London-based software solution provider established in 1974. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Trace Financial Ltd., provides the Banking and Securities industry with interfacing solutions and high volume, complex internal system integration. These include external interfaces to the UK settlement systems CREST and CGO, the S.W.I.F.T. network and Electronic Trade Confirmation (ETC) for Brokers and Institutions. Symmetry Software Services, Ltd. is a Bryanston, South Africa based software solution provider established in 1985. Symmetry's Banking and Financial Services Division provides solutions in the area of business process automation. They focus on the financial services industry where the need for high levels of customer service is a competitive advantage or where there is a need for exception management in order to reduce costs and manage operational risk. Examples of HIE in Finance & Banking Conversational Data Exchange This customer had a requirement to link together several regional processing centers, systems within each regional center, and specialist departments at Head Office. Most of the data that needed to be shared was not time sensitive, varying in delivery between 2 -12 hours, and most was unidirectional in flow. All of these messages needed to be guaranteed in their delivery and most needed data transformation in order to be useful to the receiving systems. Since there were many systems involved, the Bank wanted to avoid spaghetti interface code and the problems of multiple point-to-point message standards. Using OM3 provides the Bank with easy interfaces to its various and, in some cases exotic, systems. OM3's hub architecture eases overall management of both the interfaces and the transformation of messages into the various required standards. OM3 also complements the guaranteed delivery of data, an extremely important consideration in this environment, and the ability to set rules as to message filtering and to where specific data within messages is sent. This last function alone saves the bank a fortune in reduced satellite communications costs. see an illustrated example Critical Interactive Data Communications As competition in banking heats up, institutions seek ways to serve their customers better -- with online banking and improved ATM services. This client was interested in routing and connectivity in these two places: (1) between their World Wide Web site and their account applications, and (2) to feed information between these account applications and a data warehouse that feed their ATMs. see an illustrated example

The State of North Carolina, the Metro Dade/Miami Police department, and the State of Ohio are among HIE's government customers. Examples of HIE in Government Conversational Data Exchange This State Government customer wanted to reduce the number of erroneous payments to welfare recipients (for example, prisoners obtaining welfare payments). In order to do this, the State needed to link Human Services applications with Criminal Justice systems, Workers Compensation systems and systems at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. These systems were fundamentally different from one another; because they each had different IS staffs and budgets, it was very important that the integration be as non-invasive as possible. HIE's product provided a rapidly deployed solution which was non-invasive and provided selective message routing and transformation, enabling conversational communication between the various applications. Human Services interacts with the ''validation network" while working directly with welfare recipients, or when validating claims in the back office. see an illustrated example
