Fincentric’s Wealthview Banking(TM) Achieves Microsoft Certification for Windows Server 2003



Vancouver, BC, September 17, 2003 – Fincentric Corporation, a leading global provider of core retail banking software, today announced that its Wealthview Banking™ system is Certified for Windows Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter Editions. It is the first enterprise-wide banking system to achieve certification for Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Previous to this, Fincentric’s Wealthview Banking was also the first banking system to achieve Certified for Windows 2000 Server. This independent testing and certification by VeriTest assures customers that Wealthview Banking provides the highest levels of stability, availability, and security to serve as a banking platform for global financial institutions.

“As the first and only core banking platform currently Microsoft certified, Wealthview Banking provides customers with a scalable, open environment that facilitates the best price-to-performance ratio,” said Chris Hall, VP of Product Development, Fincentric. “Datacenter certification confirms that we offer a robust platform for the mission-critical, high-volume transactions that are essential in financial services.”

“Given the high stakes of failure in the financial arena, financial software customers will choose applications they have confidence in,” said Bill Hartnett, General Manager, Financial Services Strategy and Solutions, Microsoft Corporation. “With Microsoft Server 2003 certification, Fincentric’s customers can be assured that the Wealthview Banking platform is highly reliable and will play an important role in achieving customer satisfaction goals.”

The rigorous independent certification testing was conducted by VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge Technologies, (Nasdaq: LIOX), and the only authorized worldwide lab to test enterprise applications for Microsoft's "Certified for Windows" program. Using a set of standards established by Microsoft and VeriTest, this program establishes an unprecedented technical standard to identify applications that are secure and manageable, and that run reliably on the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.

This certification ensures customers of Fincentric’s Wealthview Banking system seamless integration with Microsoft’s industry-leading server platform. Fincentric’s Windows certification reports are available at www.veritest.com/go.asp?fincentric1

“VeriTest is happy to certify Fincentric’s Wealthview Banking for Windows Server 2003. Financial institutions rely heavily on mission-critical solutions in their data centers,” said Katrina Teague, Vice President, Marketing and Solutions, VeriTest. “Knowing the Fincentric platform has been put through its paces in the certification program helps clients and their customers feel secure.”

Fincentric joins an elite group of companies currently 2000 and 2003 Microsoft Windows Datacenter certified. This includes Microsoft Corporation, Citrix Systems, Computer Associates International, Inc., IBM Corporation, CommVault Systems, Inc., LEGATO Systems, Inc., NetIQ Corporation, NSI Software, Trend Micro, Inc., and VERITAS Software Corporation.

Along with its achievements in Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter certification, Fincentric has also received Microsoft Gold Certified Partner designation for its success in delivering Microsoft technologies through its Wealthview Banking system to financial institutions around the world.
