SunGard, Microsoft and Intel Corporation have embarked on a collaborative effort to apply the Microsoft .NET framework to SunGard's Knowledge Factory, AddVantage and IntelliTran products.
The Microsoft .NET Platform is designed to enable the development and orchestration of any group of XML Web services and applications into a single, integrated solution.
The collaborators say they are working to port a number of SunGard applications to Xeon processor-based systems, as well as Itanium-based systems. The initiative follows on from last year's development of SunGard's 64-bit Panorama trading and risk management application for Itanium-based systems.
Mack Gill, director, global alliances, SunGard says: "By collaborating with Microsoft and Intel, we are well-positioned to deliver next generation of XML Web service solutions."
