New Industry Group to Create Open Standards for Loan Lifecycle; Open Loan Technology Standards Working Group to Develop Straight Through Processing Environment for Loan Syndication.

NEW YORK & LONDON -- Loan market participants and technology providers today announced the creation of the Open Loan Technology Standards Working Group, an industry organization committed to expanding the multi-trillion dollar commercial loan market by reducing operational inefficiencies. The group's mission is to create open standards that will enable the seamless transfer of data and documents throughout the loan lifecycle. Charter members include IntraLinks, Inc.; Misys Banking Systems, Trade Settlement Inc. and leading investment banks. E[acute accent]The OLTS's primary goal is the creation of system-based standards, which focus on computer-to-computer communications, and user-based standards, relating to person-to-computer interaction. System-based standards include distribution protocols and APIs to enable the seamless transmission of loan information between different platforms and parties, as well as authentication protocols that provide financial professionals with a single username and password to sign-on to any part of the information supply chain. User-based standards will encompass naming conventions and a taxonomy for the cataloguing of documents and data. E[acute accent]Andy Fieweger, Vice President, Product Management at IntraLinks noted, "The loan industry's accounting, contact management, online document storage and trade settlement systems developed independently, creating pockets of efficiency. But as the loan market grows, the need to connect these areas has never been more important." E[acute accent]"No single company could successfully offer the benefits of these kinds of standards," said Ken Katz, Product Manager Loan IQ, at Misys Banking Systems. "We believe that the OLTS will provide significant business benefit to our customers and the industry as a whole. The results of this collaboration will be worth much more than the sum of its parts." E[acute accent]Pat Loret de Mola, Chief Executive Officer, Trade Settlement Inc., stated, "The cooperative effort to create open standards will foster a critical ongoing examination of the loan lifecycle and drive innovation and global expansion of the market." E[acute accent]Additional information about the group is available at www.OpenLoan.org.
