RMA Cleaning

Content - Parsing of CSV file containing the list of unwanted

authorizations.

- Automated removal.

- Deletion of authorizations to send

- Revocation of authorizations to receive

Background Customers may have a vast amount of unused

authorizations in their Alliance Access(es). Due to new

regulations, only the necessary and active authorizations

should be kept on the system(s). Manually removing these

(often thousands) unwanted authorizations might consume a

large amount of time. SWIFT Consulting can provide

services for a more automated way of removing batches of

unused authorizations. Unwanted

MT940 Aggregation


Content - Check if a MT940 is single-page or multiple page and if

all of the pages of a multiple page MT940 are received

- Process the MT940 and ensure that only complete

MT940 statement data per senders BIC, account,

currency code and statement date is passed to SWIFT

Integration Layer (or IPLA).

- Transform the MT940’s into a single coherent unit that

represents the total daily activity in a cash account that

can be passed into a routine to further transform that

daily activity into any statement format (e.g. BAI2,

Excel).

Background The 2,000 character message size restriction on SWIFT

requires many MT940 statements to be split among multiple

statement pages, each sent across the SWIFT network as a

separate message with a unique reference number. These

pages may not be delivered to the recipient in the order that

they are sent, and the delivery of each individual page is not

guaranteed as pages can NAK on SWIFT.

In order to correctly reconcile MT940 into a statement format,

clients require the re-assembling of all pages of an MT940

into a single coherent unit.

Content - Injector: Replay a batch of messages as if they came

from the SWIFT network

- HiDRA (Historical Data Routing Analyzer): Parses the

replayed messages to get a routing rule test usage

report.

- Dashboard:

- Shows the routing rule test usage reports in

Excel.

- Allows comparison between test and a baseline

Background Customers may have a vast amount of routing rules in their

Alliance Access(es). Over the year, these routing rules often

became suboptimal and typically a lot are unused, which can

impact the performance of the system. Extra information and

testing is needed before manually removing rules, so that the

functionality remains unchanged. SWIFT Consulting can

provide services that help customers in optimizing their

routing configuration.

Volume Testing


Content

- SWIFTNet Emulation tool: to be used for integration

testing purposes during the volume tests

- Hand-on training

Background Volume and performance tests are an essential part of each

test strategy when new releases, patches or business flows

are deployed on the SWIFTNet interface. Typically such

volume/performance tests run outside business-hours. Seen

the risk to surpass the out-of-business window, the test

cases need to be well prepared in a dry-run. This dry-run

should also be planned carefully in order not to impact live

operations.

In that context, SWIFT has developed a simulation tool that

allows customers to dry-run their volume and performance

test scenarios without any connectivity to the SWIFT

Network and get well prepared for running the

volume/performance tests on the SWIFT Network.

Technical (re-)Assessment


Content • Architecture: SWIFT components, Middleware & BO integration

• Capacity – keeping in mind future business outlook

• Resilience: review recovery solutions for hw&sw malfunctions

• Procedures: gap analysis with regards to operational

procedures

• Monitoring: problem detection mechanism and highlevel

escalation

• Security: security set-up and access control on SWIFT

applications

• Configuration: high level configuration assessment

• RACI: roles and responsibilities for main SWIFT activities

Background Within the financial industry, the SWIFT infrastructure is

typically defined as business critical. As a result, IT Managers

are bound to run risk-free operations but are at the same time

challenged by technology evolution, cost pressure, strict

security requirements, technical implications from mergers &

acquisitions, etc.

Building on strong knowledge and expertise, SWIFT can

provide a neutral assessment of the SWIFT infrastructure and

its operations. The outcome will be a number of quick wins as

well as strategic recommendations.

Also internal audit teams or post-incident tiger teams could

call upon SWIFT assistance when the SWIFT infra is in scope

Total Cost of Ownership analysis


Content SWIFT will perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the

SWIFT messaging infrastructure and benchmark it against

institutions of comparable size on topics like Operational

cost/message, Resources to run/maintain current infrastructure,

Complexity of infrastructure, etc.

Based on the results, recommendations will be provided to

reduce the total cost of ownership.

Background Operating in a competitive and technology-driven

environment, institutions are concerned about their cost basis.

SWIFT can help to analyse the Total Cost of Ownership of

running a SWIFT infrastructure and how this compares to

peer institutions. Software

in scope: SWIFT-specific integration, messaging and

(excl. BO applications)

• Quantitative analysis (eg cost/msg)

• Qualitative analysis

• Infrastructure sourcing assessment
