Trema and Roxen IS Take Treasury Management to the Web


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 22, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Roxen Internet Software (SSE:ROX) and Trema Group have entered a partnership agreement where Trema will use Roxen Web Content Management software. The first customer installation is ABB Treasury Center in Sweden.

Roxen Internet Software, the Swedish award-winning vendor of Web Content Management software, and Trema Group, the leading provider of treasury, cash, risk, and asset management solutions, have entered a partnership agreement. Roxen Platform Web Content Management supports Finance eKIT Dealing applications, providing access to Finance KIT functionality for subsidiaries over corporate intranets. The first customer to deploy Finance eKIT on Roxen Platform is ABB Treasury Center Sweden.

"Trema is a strong business and technology partner. I view this as confirmation that Roxen Platform is not only a leading product for maintaining conventional web sites, but also has the flexibility and technological strength to bring sophisticated applications like Trema's to intranet users, and potentially to the Web," said Lars Hoegberg, CEO of Roxen Internet Software.

"Trema's Finance eKIT Dealing, supported by the Roxen Platform, makes our Finance KIT treasury management system accessible to more users. Customers can use their intranets to allow subsidiaries and business units to access Finance KIT in the central treasury using a simple Web interface. This brings clear benefits to our multinational corporate clients," said Robert Wennerstroem Director of e-Solutions at Trema Group.

ABB Treasury Center Sweden is the first customer to deploy Finance eKIT Dealing, and several more international companies are in the process of doing so. This allows them to have the application on a centrally controlled server, while making the functionality available, fully or in part, to their subsidiaries and business units.

Trema and Roxen IS have been working together with this technology since the fall of 1999.

Trema's flagship product, Finance KIT, is a straight-through-processing treasury, risk and asset management system. To expand the capability of Finance KIT to remote and mobile users, Trema offers Finance eKIT, a suite of Web-enabled modules that provides enhanced functionality for organizations using Finance KIT, and Finance mKIT to provide wireless access to key Finance KIT functionality through a mobile phone.

Trema Transaction Hub is a new centralized solution that links Trema's Finance KIT with web-based FX dealing services provided by banks. Transaction Hub operates by providing a secure connection between the bank's server and the corporate treasury's Finance KIT. Users deal electronically with their bank, but rather than having to re-enter the deal information into Finance KIT, this part of the process is done for them through Trema Transaction Hub. The relevant information is automatically transferred from the bank's system to Trema Transaction Hub, which then distributes it to the corporate's Finance KIT.
