In addition to fixed income and equities back office support, the Calypso platform offers Nordea a flexible infrastructure and sophisticated workflow-based exception handling capabilities which should improve the bank's straight through processing rates.

Peter Lunding, Business CIO Capital Markets Products, at Nordea, says, "We have been working very closely with Calypso Technology to create a best practice operating model for Nordea. We got up and running quickly, within set time frame and budget. We are pleased with the level of support Calypso Technology has provided and the resources they have dedicated to us. The Calypso system is a cornerstone in streamlining the securities flow across all our offices in the Nordic region and having a flexible infrastructure upon which we can grow and expand."
