SunGard renaming announced by ensemble

Johannesburg, 17 May 2000

ensemble, exclusive local distributors of the d'ecalog IDEE Investment Management solution from SunGard, has announced the renaming of the international company and its solutions. With immediate effect, d'ecalog will operate in the marketplace under the name SunGard Investment Management Systems. Its ID'EE solution, a full suite of applications supporting portfolio management and trading, will be marketed as Decalog.

CEO of ensemble, Ettie Takacs, says the renaming is evidence of Sungard`s migration from a market positioning of isolated package delivery to one of integrated delivery of solutions, focusing on the different market segments. "This migration is a very positive move towards streamlining the Sungard offering and its global market operations," she says.

The Decalog suite is an international straight-through processing (STP) Investment Management system, and comprises Decalog Manager, Decalog Trader, Decalog and Decalog Performance.
