Health check - Optimising your SWIFT infrastructure

Health checks performed in a number of institutions have proved that there is in many cases a gap between the ideal situation of your SWIFT infrastructure and the current situation in your institution. In some cases, different functionalities which make your live easier are not being used. By implementing the correct components, surveying the correct parameters and using the SWIFTNet infrastructure in a correct way, you will be able to benefit more from your investment in SWIFT: decrease the operational costs of your financial traffic and guarantee an error free service level to your customers.
Learn where your single points of failure are Is your SWIFT environment as secure as you think it is? Recommendations from a neutral third party to improve resiliency and disaster recovery Analyse procedures and processes and suggest improvements if necessary Segregation of duty check If you would like to be sure that you are getting the most out of your SWIFT investment, but lack the time, the resources or the knowledge, contact the SWIFT Training team in your region to set up a Health check in your institution.

recommendations on how to improve, fine tune or optimise it. This check can be done on several levels, from technical over business continuity planning, security, people and procedures to business flows.

In a world of information overload, you want accurate and up-to-date training. SWIFT Training goes to great lengths to ensure you will benefit from a course that fits your needs. Here we give you a look behind the scenes, and we introduce you to our certified training partners.
A lot of effort goes in creating and delivering a course that fits your needs The dynamic world of financial telecommunications is characterised by a constant flood of innovations. Whenever new solutions are introduced (SWIFTNet, ISO 15022, MT 103, XML), the SWIFT Training team analyses the impact on the customer and defines the training that will address his needs. We carry out customer surveys and consult internal specialists to specify the course content and develop the supporting material.
Certified instructors in over 15 countries In addition to our core team of instructors, the following Training partners have received the official stamp of approval from the SWIFT Training team (these are companies and individuals):
Europe, Middle East, India and Africa Alliance Factors Limited - Cardinal Consulting - Jalel Zagrani - Mohamed Hedi Ennaifar - Mohamed Hosny Atteya Mohamed Kamel Bayoumi - Rafael Kaczanowski - SIDE - SMA Software & Consulting - Scandent - Thierry Miskaoui. North, Central and Latin America Axelcomp Consulting Group - BCG Business Computer Group - Chandra Soodhoo Mathieu - Condor Project DeCastro Staff - Financeware - Jeremiah Associates.

As our customers training needs grow and diversify, we will continue working closely with our network of instructors to offer you the highest quality training solutions. For more information or feedback, contact: education@swift.com.
We then carry out dry runs, which are internal courses where we gather feedback to further refine and polish the course. Once the material is ready for delivery, our expert instructors study the course. They are certified when they prove subject matter expertise and show a sound pedagogical approach during their own internal sessions. This is the basis for course delivery at SWIFT Training: only certified instructors will deliver courses to our customers! You can be assured that only knowledgeable specialists will provide you with accurate and up-to-date training and information.
Meeting our customers needs on a global basis To address our customers training needs on a world-wide scale, and offer training in the local language where possible, SWIFT Training enlists the support of a number of local partners.
Since the first partner, Alliance Factors in the Russian Federation, came on board in 1998, SWIFT Training has certified over 40 instructors in over 15 countries. Training partners are required to follow the same demanding certification process as our core instructors before being allowed to represent SWIFT at a SWIFT Training course.
