Atlanta, GA � May 14, 2003 � DWL, the leader in Enterprise Business Services software, today announced it has established a strategic alliance with Malaysian-based reseller, SPW Enterprise Solutions Sdn Bhd (SPW). DWL’s alliance will allow the financial services IT specialist to resell its enterprise business services software, including the market leading enterprise customer data hub, DWL Customer™.
Under the terms of the agreement, SPW will be the Asia Pacific distributor for DWL Customer, the leading enterprise customer hub for real time customer management. DWL Customer is an enterprise customer hub that unifies customer data and transactions from product silos and delivers this knowledge to all channels. Using this solution, banks, insurance companies, credit card issuers and other financial institutions can make better credit decisions and allocate credit to high-value customers. DWL Customer�s full view of household relationships also facilitates cross selling. The solution is
based on a services-oriented architecture and is built on J2EE standards, making it the most scalable and market-proven application for customer management.
�SPW will be first to provide a burgeoning financial services sector in Asia Pacific with a market leading enterprise customer hub built on technology used by the largest financial services companies globally. Enhancing our services with a solution that addresses the complex customer data integration issues financial services companies face will be an important competitive differentiator for SPW,” said Mr. Yong Keat Wong, managing director, SPW.
In addition to its current expertise in core banking solutions, data management and outsourcing services, SPW will augment its offering to provide sales, delivery and support infrastructure for DWL enterprise business solutions, specifically for retail and commercial banks and card issuers.
�Financial services companies are increasingly concentrating on their customer data management projects as a means to further reduce costs and boost revenue generation. The second merger wave of the Malaysian anchor banks, ongoing consolidation of Indonesian banks and cross-selling of financial products means the Asia Pacific financial services market is particularly keen on addressing these issues. Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia provide ideal market opportunities for DWL to further expand its offering into the region,” said Bryan Ashley, vice president, strategic alliances, DWL.
In addition to its current expertise in core banking, insurance solutions, data management and outsourcing services, SPW will augment its offering to provide sales, delivery and support infrastructure for DWL enterprise business solutions, specifically for retail and commercial banks, insurers and card issuers.
