Microsoft news releases issued at SIBOS
A couple of weeks ago I was attending SIBOS in Boston (Oct. 1-5).
SIBOS is a premier financial services show sponsored by Swift held in Boston attracts 6,500+ attendees from global corporates, corporate banks, asset & fund managers.
I’d like to bring to your attention four news releases that were issued by Microsoft at SIBOS.
The announcement that the functionalities within the BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT would now be featured within the core BizTalk Server product, was making quite an impact. Banking customers reacted very positively to learning that BizTalk Server would provide them with out-of-the-box support of EDI, SWIFTNet, and soon ISO 20022 support.

Three releases were about customer wins, showing how the 10th largest bank in the world by assets under management – Santander; one of the top 100 users of Swift – KAS Bank; and the reputed oldest bank in the world -- Banca Monte Dei Paschi di Siena, all had chosen to base their payments infrastructure on Microsoft products and technologies in particular BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT.
