SunGard announced today that Johnson Controls has selected its AvantGard Payments solution to assist with the centralisation of the company's payment operations in Europe. AvantGard Payments will provide Johnson Controls with flexible workflows, audit capabilities and multibank connectivity.
The AvantGard solution will be hosted by SunGard and will provide a platform to help improve control and security across all payment operations. It will help Johnson Controls to standardise its payments processing and connect directly with its bank partners. The solution will initially be rolled out to Johnson Controls' European operations on a country-by-country basis, before a second phase of implementation to all remaining locations.
Jean-Philippe De-Waele, treasurer for Johnson Controls' European and African operations, said: “We needed a single payments solution that could meet our business, hosting and connectivity needs. We chose SunGard's AvantGard Payments not only because of SunGard's strong reputation and international presence, but because the solution offers full Swift integration in a hosted environment.”
Hans Cobben, group vice-president for global payments and messaging at SunGard, commented: “Access to new Swift services and direct multibank connectivity has become increasingly important for most corporations. SunGard's AvantGard Payments can help by providing flexible payments functionality and Swift integration capabilities. As a hosted solution, AvantGard also offers high levels of security and messaging standards.”
