Cognizant and Monitise Form Mobile Money Alliance to Help Global Financial Institutions Capitalize on the Mobile Money Opportunity



The Alliance’s Interoperable Mobile Platform to Enable Financial Institutions to Lower Total Cost of Ownership, Enhance Customer Experience, and Drive Topline Growth

TEANECK, N.J., and LONDON, UK, October 4th, 2012—Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) and Monitise (LSE: MONI) today announced a global alliance that will help financial institutions embrace the mobile channel of interaction, and develop effective and innovative mobile banking, payments, and commerce solutions.

Combining Cognizant’s extensive financial services and mobility expertise with Monitise’s leading mobile money platform, the alliance will help global financial institutions speedily respond to the mobile money opportunity that is gathering significant momentum. By leveraging an interoperable platform instead of solutions from disparate products and mobile operating systems, financial institutions will be able to lower the total cost of ownership, and drive newer revenue streams through enhanced mobile adoption.

“Mobile is, without question, the channel of the future,” said Alastair Lukies, Chief Executive of Monitise Group. “Our strategy involves extending our Monitise Enterprise Platform to the world’s leading banks and payment companies to help them improve and expand their customer relationships.

“Mobile technology has the potential to significantly change consumer-facing industries,” said Mahesh Venkateswaran, Managing Director, Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud at Cognizant. “As a route to market, it reshapes the channel mix; as a computing and service platform, it redraws the ways in which businesses engage with customers; and as a new technology architecture, it creates opportunities for new products and revenues. The accent in this new world of consumer services is on true personalisation, context-aware systems, and real-time services. Cognizant is committed to helping clients reinvent their businesses using mobile technologies, and we are excited to partner with Monitise to bring the next generation of mobile money solutions to financial institutions.”

“Mobile money has arrived and is driving a disruptive shift in channel interaction with consumers, thereby accelerating the replacement of cash and bringing new products to consumers,” said Prasad Chintamaneni, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Cognizant’s Financial Services practice. “By combining Cognizant’s extensive expertise and experience in delivering innovative domain and technology solutions to financial institutions with Monitise’s acclaimed platform-based mobile solutions, we are well positioned to help our clients develop compelling mobile banking, payments, and commerce solutions, thereby reducing time-to-market, enhancing customer experience, and driving business growth.”

New NFC Forum Analog Specification Clears the Path to Device Interoperability


Specification Represents Milestone in Global Commercialization of NFC
WAKEFIELD, Mass.--()--The NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association that advances the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has approved and adopted the NFC Analog technical specification, which is available now to the public for download at no charge. This new specification is a major step forward in the NFC Forum’s goal of global interoperability because it makes it easier for device manufacturers to build NFC Forum-compliant devices. It addresses the analog characteristics of the RF interface of an NFC-enabled device, and it is intended for use by manufacturers wanting to implement such devices.
“With the new NFC Analog specification we offer the industry a solution that will lead to improved global interoperability between NFC devices”
The NFC Analog specification is focused on the analog characteristics of the RF interface of an NFC-enabled device. It characterizes and specifies the externally observable radio signals for an NFC-enabled device, without specifying the design of its antenna. This includes power requirements (determining operating volume), transmission requirements, receiver requirements, and signal forms (time/frequency/modulation characteristics). In doing so, it provides a common interface to the NFC chip, thereby giving manufacturers greater flexibility to use NFC chips from different suppliers without putting device interoperability at greater risk.
The NFC Analog specification brings the total of NFC published specifications to 17, with one additional candidatespecification at this time. The new specification has been adopted in final form after a validation period and subsequent votes by NFC Forum membership and Board. Access to all NFC Forum specifications is found on the Forum's website.
"With the new NFC Analog specification we offer the industry a solution that will lead to improved global interoperability between NFC devices," said Koichi Tagawa, NFC Forum Chairman, "and because it also streamlines testing and certification, it will accelerate the introduction of NFC-enabled devices into the market. We greatly appreciate the efforts of all our members who worked to deliver this milestone specification."
The scope of the specification covers the analog interface of the NFC Forum Device in its four roles (Peer Mode Initiator, Peer Mode Target, Reader/Writer Mode and Card Emulation Mode) for all three technologies (NFC-A, NFC-B, and NFC-F) and for all the different bit rates (106 kbps, 212 kbps, and 424 kbps). The document specifies the RF characteristics in such a way that interoperability issues arising from the radio link are minimized, providing a basis for testing and approvals that draws upon the experience of related work.
About Near Field Communication Technology
NFC technology makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch.
A standards-based connectivity technology, NFC harmonizes today's diverse contactless technologies, enabling current and future solutions in areas such as access control, consumer electronics, healthcare, information collection and exchange, loyalty and coupons, payments, and transport.
NFC technology is supported by the world’s leading communication device manufacturers, semiconductor producers, network operators, IT and services companies, and financial services organizations. NFC is compatible with hundreds of millions of contactless cards and readers already deployed worldwide.
About the NFC Forum
The NFC Forum (http://www.nfc-forum.org) was launched as a non-profit industry association in 2004 by leading mobile communications, semiconductor, and consumer electronics companies. The Forum’s mission is to advance the use of Near Field Communication technology by developing specifications, ensuring interoperability among devices and services, and educating the market about NFC technology. The Forum’s 170+ global member companies currently are developing specifications for a modular NFC device architecture, and protocols for interoperable data exchange and device-independent service delivery, device discovery, and device capability.
The NFC Forum’s Sponsor members, which hold seats on the Board of Directors, include leading players in key industries around the world. The Sponsor members are: Barclaycard, Broadcom Corporation, INSIDE Secure, Intel, MasterCard Worldwide, NEC, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, Inc., NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Samsung, Sony Corporation, STMicroelectronics, and Visa Inc.

Raiffeisen launches World’s First Bio-Sourced Bank Card developed by Gemalto


AMSTERDAM--()--Regulatory News:
“Bio Sourced cards technology fits well within our strategic commitment to sustainability, in particular with using materials and production processes that have a reduced environmental impact”
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security and Raiffeisen, Austria’s leading banking group, today announced the introduction of the world’s first Bio Sourced payment card for its Austrian cardholders.

As part of this project, a number of activities are focused on enhancing the efficiency of energy input, encouraging the use of renewable resources and offering financial services which generate an ecological added value.
“Gemalto’s Bio Sourced card based on the latest state-of-the-art product technology offers us a solution with all security and functionality requirements which fits perfectly with our company values, particularly with our Climate Protection Initiative,” said Johannes Schuster, Member of the Managing Board of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG. “This project is a show case for the whole Raiffeisen Group.”
