Johnson Controls has selected SunGard’s AvantGard. The tool will deliver Johnson Controls 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 standardize its payments processing and connect directly with its bank partners. The application 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.
“We needed a single payments solution that could meet our business, hosting and connectivity needs,” says Jean-Philippe De-Waele, treasurer, Johnson Controls’ European and African operations. “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.”
“Access to new SWIFT services and direct multibank connectivity has become increasingly important for most corporations,” says Hans Cobben, group vice president, global payments and messaging, SunGard. “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.”
