Web Design

The World Wide Web represents an opportunity for your company to have a global presence at a fraction of the cost of any other medium. It allows you to promote your services and products to an enormous audience no matter what size your own company is. For the first time many small and medium sized businesses are more able to compete against the large players on an even playing field. We believe that your web site must work for your company, as part of your overall communications and marketing strategy. Your web site could be the only image of your company some of your clients might see.

Financial Institutions

Virtual Globes founding members have been involved in the financial markets arena for the last 10 years on a continual basis. Our expertise involve most aspects of the investment management functions within Capital Markets (both front and back-office aspects of the business) from processing right through to Nostro and Vostro accounting and leading on through to the General Ledger.

We also have great experience with communicating and integrating into a variety of ancillary systems. These systems include S.W.I.F.T. message processing and the associated interface products like ST400 and BESS through to Microbank's Nostro reconciliation's package suite and SWIFT Alliance. We have been extensively involved in designing and creating interfaces to send and receive structured payments to and from SWIFT, clearing systems (including RTGS), branch networks and other electronic banking systems.

At present we are active in system migrations, newCHAPs and MT103 changes, as well as providing information for data management, CLS, real time global position keeping and STP/STeP solutions

System Re-engineering

How do you take advantage of the latest technology, whilst at the same time retain system familiarity? The answer is system re-engineering. The business rules embedded in your legacy systems are a valuable asset. Those business rules reflect your business model and philosophy. Your staff understand this model and the system functions associated with that model.

When a system is replaced, the upheavel is tremendous across all functional business units affected directly or indirectly by the system replacement. Modelling, testing, training, migrating - all these areas introduce levels of risk that are additional to any current risk management in place. Not even mentioned is the very high possibility that the new system functionality does not match exactly with your requirements.

Virtual Globes has substancial knowledge of the impact system migration can have. This knowledge was gained in Financial Institutions, migrating critical systems. We have the experience to help your system re-engineering plans progress smoothly.
