Volante’s - a leader in the provision of innovative financial data integration - paper begins, “The ISO 20022 catalogue of messages consists of in excess of 300 XML Schemas that cover a range of business domains. Since the first ISO 20022-compliant XML message definitions were registered and published in 2005, the subject of ISO 20022 itself has taken up thousands of pages of printed and web-based media. Some of the coverage has been positive in nature, some negative, often superficial and sometimes occasionally misleading. The sheer volume of information available, however, has counter-intuitively made it harder for the potential consumer to access the facts they need to make competent business and technical decisions.”

This essential 12 page guide for anyone who really needs to understand ISO 20022, which will under-pin most financial message integration from this point on, covers:

• A few terms to explain (which really are counter-intuitive)
• The ISO 20022 standard (including the role of the Standards Evaluation Groups (SEGs) and ISO 20022 variants)
• ISO 20022 extensions
• ISO 20022 messages vs. SWIFT MX messages
• Considerations for implementing ISO 20022.
