Dassault Systèmes signs fully secured payments orders with new SWIFT 3SKey certificate

Paris and San Diego, March 23, 2011 – Société Générale and Kyriba are very pleased to announce that on February 3rd, Dassault Systèmes adopted Swift 3SKey digital identity solution to secure all payments transfer files.

“We are using this solution on a daily basis to secure all transfers from our French customers to Société Générale using the XML20022 format. Over the coming months, we will extend the process to fully integrate our banks and subsidiaries worldwide, relying upon the Kyriba SaaS platform and its integrated Service Bureau SWIFTNet,” commented John Colleemallay, Treasury and Finance Director at Dassault Systèmes.

“We wanted to offer an optimal security level to our customers, while simplifying day-to-day, time-consuming processes. Fulfilling the objective was challenging due to a legacy environment with multiple signing solutions. We actively contributed to the SWIFT 3SKey implementation, which provides an international certification standard that meets all parties’ authentication requirements,” added Martine Boutineau, International Cash Management Manager at Société Générale.

“Since October 2010, the Kyriba SaaS-based platform has been enabling the Swift 3SKey personal signature for both SWIFTNet and EBICS TS protocols. We are delighted to have completed this first migration, enabled by Kyriba’s investment and deep expertise in SWIFT connectivity capabilities. This important milestone bolsters our leadership position in the SWIFT connectivity market,” stated Jean-Luc Robert, CEO of Kyriba.
