Award recognises EMC Document Sciences' xPression implementation at Santander Private Banking
11 June 2008, London, UK: EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, has been awarded the 2008 Retail Wealth Management Award by The Banker Technology Awards. The award recognizes the implementation of EMC Document Sciences' xPression Customer Communications Management (CCM) solution -- creating a best-in-class consolidated financial statement at Santander Private Banking (SPB), a division of Grupo Santander, the largest bank in the Euro Zone.
The Banker Technology Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation in all areas of banking technology, presented EMC at its awards ceremony on 6 June 2008. EMC was praised for its successful implementation of the xPression software suite at SPB.
SPB was looking for a flexible and efficient system to replace its existing statement generation solution to more effectively convey critical account information to its customers. After forming a cross-functional team to find a solution that could support both high volume batch and real time, on-demand, custom statement generation, the SPB team chose EMC Document Sciences' xPression software suite and its services team to become the strategic partner in implementing the new statement solution.
"We are thrilled for EMC and believe the company truly deserves to be recognised for the work it has done for us", said Ramiro Lopez-Larroy, Senior Vice President and Director for Strategic Planning for SPB. "Thanks to xPression we are now able to deepen our client relationships with elegant, informative, intuitive, and visual consolidated statements that are among the best in the industry. Moreover, xPression enabled us to offer our bankers a state-of-the-art solution for generating custom statements on-demand."
As part of its recognition, The Banker Technology Awards highlighted several major benefits of the xPression Software Suite, including its powerful statement design tool with advanced charting and table constructs, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), XML data integration capabilities, and its comprehensive web services interface.
"Being presented this award by The Banker is extremely gratifying", said Douglas Winter, Vice President and General Manager of EMC Document Sciences. "This award and previous honours further illustrates our expertise and leadership in delivering customer communications management solutions for financial services. This is a great example of how xPression enables firms to build deeper and more profitable relationships with clients through a wide variety of mass personalised communications and on-demand interactions alike. It's rewarding to work with organisations like Grupo Santander to help them deliver a superior customer experience and transform the way they do business."
