Sybase Extends Global Leadership in Real Time Analytics with Enhanced Liquidity Management Suite (LMS)

LMS Consolidates Enterprise-Wide Payment and Transaction InformationLeveraging Sybase IQ and Sybase ASE

AMSTERDAM (October 25, 2010) – Sybase, Inc., an SAP company (NYSE:SAP) and industry leader in enterprise and mobile software, today announced a new release of Sybase® Liquidity Management Suite (LMS), providing the global financial services industry with a variety of new modules enabling native support for Sybase’s relational database management system and analytics platform. Further demonstrating Sybase’s leadership in analytics for capital markets, Sybase LMS consolidates payment and transaction information in real-time, across multiple systems, to provide a comprehensive enterprise-wide capability for managing operational liquidity, supporting optimal use of operating capital while minimizing operation risk.

“Given the fact that business-as-usual Liquidity Risk Management processes contributed to the financial crisis, the need for powerful, flexible and customizable LRM solutions is resoundingly clear in this post-crisis era,” said Aite Group Senior Analyst John Jay. “Solutions like Sybase’s Liquidity Management Suite provide a portfolio of mission-critical functionalities, which can be made operational quickly, across enterprise-wide and more granular business liquidity views to meet the current environment of risk, compliance and regulatory conservatism.”

The latest version of Sybase LMS provides significantly enhanced capabilities for more granular intra-day liquidity risk analytics and reporting. Integrated with Sybase’s award-winning column-based database, Sybase IQ, the Sybase Liquidity Risk Manager module enables bank treasuries to track positions in real-time

“In times of restricted credit and volatile markets, liquidity management is getting a lot of attention,” said Jeff Wootton, Senior Director, Product Management at Sybase. “Sybase Liquidity Management Suite provides bank treasurers and funding managers with more timely information, consolidated from across the enterprise, in order to more closely manage current liquidity and to make timely, strategically sound funding decisions.”

The enhanced LMS suite also offers a market-leading centralized, multi-entity solution that is designed expressly for the needs of treasurers and funding managers in managing short-term liquidity. The Cash Flow Manager and Collateral Manager modules now offer native support for Sybase ASE, providing the ability to store all transactions collected by the LMS in Sybase ASE as the database-of-record. The enhanced Liquidity Risk Manager now supports Sybase IQ for scenario modeling, providing greater granularity of analysis than was previously available.

Importantly, the financial crisis made it evident that greater sophistication in reporting and analysis is required to ensure that financial institutions have real-time insight into their short term liquidity. Capital adequacy may be appropriate for long term management of liquidity risk, but in the short-term, only a cash flow analysis will provide a true picture. This enhanced capacity takes on added weight with the approaching implementation of Basel III, which calls for banks to have systems in place to manage short term liquidity.

Sybase Liquidity Management Suite is uniquely suited to meet the need for increased compression of reporting cycles as part of heightened regulatory demands for liquidity reporting. Employing streaming technology based on Sybase CEP technology, LMS enables banks to accurately determine and predict the appropriate levels of liquidity and collateral at low-latency speeds on a par with the speed of trades. The result is the only intraday liquidity management application suite of its kind designed for treasurers and funding managers.

Sybase’s leading financial solutions include advanced data management and analytics that improve trading, risk management, compliance and market data management across the enterprise.

Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Accelerates Market Share, Expands Adoption and Wins New Customers in Database Market

International Enterprises such as Swiss Medical, Revelex and ICICI Prudential Embrace Sybase ASE 15 to Successfully Manage Expanding IT Environments

WASHINGTON (August 10, 2010) – SYBASE TECHWAVE SYMPOSIUM

Strong momentum is being driven by a very committed customer base with a 97 percent customer satisfaction rate, and with the continued addition of new customers. Through scalable database performance, effective management of rapidly growing data sets, and rock-solid reliability, Sybase ASE continues to propel the business growth of customers worldwide.

Customers leveraging Sybase ASE to meet their extreme transaction processing needs include Swiss Medical, the Argentinean health care group deploying ASE Cluster Edition to turbocharge processing capacity; technology travel company Revelex, utilizing ASE Encrypted Column Option to meet secure database payment compliance requirements; and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, combining Sybase ASE and Sybase IQ to meet dual database requirements.

“The number of organizations adopting Sybase ASE 15 has grown significantly as enterprises face continually growing demand for increased efficiency and availability while dealing with the exploding requirements of transaction processing systems to support large volumes of concurrent users with high transaction rates,” said Brian Vink, vice-president, data management products, Sybase. “Our continued leadership and momentum in the database management market is a direct result of ASE’s ability to address these extreme requirements by delivering ultra-fast, nonstop performance on cost-effective, standards-based platforms.”

Sybase continues to build a foundation for long term growth of Sybase ASE investing in technology innovations such as in-memory databases, and by certifying Sybase ASE 15 with key enterprise applications. The recent release of Sybase ASE 15.5 introduces new innovations with ASE In-memory Databases option where early adopters are benefiting from large performance gains with very little implementation effort. For example, a large financial services firm saw a 9x performance improvement without having to change application code or rewrite queries. Furthermore, Sybase continues to work with application vendors such as SunGard to certify Sybase ASE 15 with key applications in financial services.

ASE is recognized as a leader in Enterprise Database Management Systems in Forrester Research’s June 2009 Database wave report (The Forrester Wave(TM): Enterprise Database Management Systems, Q2 2009, Forrester Research, Inc., June 30, 2009)i, and has garnered awards including Enterprise Open Source Magazine’s “Best Linux Database”; SD Times 100 for leadership in Database and Data Tools; and Best Enterprise Data Management Vendor by Waters Magazine.

Swiss Medical doubles transaction processing capacity

Swiss Medical Group (SMG) is one of the top leaders in the Argentinean healthcare market, with more than 50,000 professionals from all specialties, and over 5,000 providers of diagnosis and treatment. Faced with the explosive growth of patient information when dealing with situations such as the H1N1 influenza, SMG needed a solution to overcome low transaction processing capacity, which was a roadblock to handling a significant increase in the number of queries. Working with a team including Sybase Professional Services, SMG migrated its corporate data center to an external provider; changed the hardware architecture; and migrated its databases to Sybase ASE 15 Cluster Edition.

“We are now able to double processing capacity and offer fast delivery of information when the clients request it. ASE Cluster Edition is practically automatic and we administer the storage capacity from a single console,” said Eduardo del Piano, systems manager of Swiss Medical Group. “We have been confidently working with Sybase for more than twelve years and this new architecture enables our applications to grow along with the evolution of our business.”

Revelex secures its data

Revelex, the leading technology company in the travel industry, serves as many as 10 million requests every day from approximately one million consumers, providing access to profile information, itinerary data and a variety of other travel services through its Sybase ASE database. When its 5,300 clients began to require compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Sarbanes-Oxley rules, Revelex began to research options for encrypting its ASE database in order to meet those compliance requirements.

“Within a three month time frame, we needed to encrypt credit card data as well as all personal consumer information that flows through our system. During our evaluation process, it became apparent we could use Sybase encryption without having to recode our existing ASE database application,” said Scott Martin, database administrator, Revelex. “The ASE Encrypted Column Option was easy to deploy, supplied the features we needed within our required time frame, and provided a shallow learning curve.”

ICICI Prudential solves data-synchronization challenge

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company is a joint venture between ICICI Bank and Prudential plc. Its nation-wide reach includes over 1,900 branches (inclusive of 1,074 micro-offices), over 210,000 advisors; and 7 bancassurance partners. The company revamped its information system by developing a distributed data management architecture that stores business information in specialized databases. To achieve this, Sybase ASE database platform handles real-time transaction processing and provides transformed data to Sybase IQ, the analytics database allowing its users to generate reports on a near real-time basis on current data.

“With the help of the single view of customer information enabled through Sybase technology, ICICI Prudential Life can now help customers more effectively and efficiently as now employees have immediate access to accurate, up-to-date information, this enhances up-sell/Cross-sell as well as service capabilities,” said Chaya Pisupati, Sr. Vice President & Head IT, ICICI Prudential Life.

Sybase Launches Breakthrough Technology for Extremely Fast Replication and Real-Time Analytics Support

New Release of Replication Server Includes Patent Pending Technology for High Volume, Immediate Data Transfer Requirements

WASHINGTON (August 10, 2010) – SYBASE TECHWAVE 2010

Sybase is the only company to provide patent-pending High Volume Adaptive Replication (HVAR) technology, which utilizes a groundbreaking optimization technique to intelligently analyze rapidly changing data and deliver only final outcomes. The result is dramatically higher performance compared to existing replication methods. Combined with parallel Data Server Interfaces, enterprises can reduce the time to replicate extremely high volumes of data from hours down to minutes or seconds. Sybase Replication Server also introduces the Real-Time Loading Edition for rapid loading of transactional data from Sybase Adaptive Server® Enterprise (ASE) into the Sybase IQ analytics server. Enterprises operating in markets where seconds and minutes make the difference between profit and loss now have near-instantaneous access to operational data from their Business Intelligence tools, enabling real-time decision making.

“NTT DATA Group provides a broad range of IT services to customers worldwide. Because of our extensive number of customers running a very high volume of OLTP transactions through the network, we were experiencing up to three hour latency in replicating from Sybase ASE to Sybase IQ,” said Masatoshi Yokogawa, Senior Expert, Research and Development, NTT DATA CORPORATION. “When we incorporated Sybase Replication Server Real-Time Loading Edition, the time it took to replicate these transactions was reduced dramatically, from three hours to less than five minutes, giving our customers critical real-time data warehouse capability.”

This latest release includes the following capabilities:

• Real Time Loading for Sybase IQ
• Advanced Performance Services
• New Heterogeneous Capabilities
• In-Memory Database Replication

“In today’s volatile and competitive business climate, enterprises must create agile businesses by tapping into real-time analytics and decision support to quickly predict outcomes and identify risks,” said Brian Vink, Vice President, Data Management products, Sybase. “Replication Server 15.5 gives organizations a data movement platform that will scale with them as they move to the next level of real-time operations and business analytics.”
