New York and London, 26 April 2010
Wall Street Systems (Wallstreet), the global provider of treasury,
trading and settlement solutions and services, announced today that it has acquired the assets of Speranza
Systems, Inc. Speranza, headquartered in Portland, Maine, provides a web-based platform to financial and
corporate organizations looking to adopt efficient processes around administering bank relationship and
signatory/authorization management. Wallstreet plans to integrate Speranza’s highly regarded bank account
management capabilities within its Wallstreet Suite and Wallstreet Treasury solutions. As part of the acquisition,
Wallstreet will continue servicing existing Speranza clients.
Speranza's Software as a Service (SaaS) Solution for electronic bank account management (eBAM) provides
streamlined processes for eliminating inefficient, paper based practices for administering bank accounts and
signature authorities, saving valuable time chasing down corporate documents, gathering physical signatures,
mailing/filing papers, and satisfying audits. Wallstreet’s corporate and banking clients will benefit from this
additional capability, by reducing costs and boosting efficiency. Speranza’s offering also assists in helping
clients meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements.
Wallstreet views this as a significant investment in the fast growing eBAM market, which industry experts predict
will explode over the next two years. Servicing both the Banking and Corporate Treasury worlds, Wallstreet is
well positioned to be the eBAM market leader.
In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, Glen Solimine, CEO of Speranza has joined Wall Street
Systems as Head of Sales, Wallstreet Treasury. Solimine comments, “Wallstreet’s proven ability to provide
innovative financial and treasury solutions to the global corporate marketplace, coupled with management’s
expertise and commitment to success is tremendously promising for the future of the business. I am pleased
and excited to be a part of the team.”
Paul Wheeler, Managing Director of Wallstreet Treasury at Wall Street Systems commented, “For more than
twenty years, Wallstreet has attributed its success to an unwavering commitment to bring clients the most
innovative, reliable and robust solutions and services. As our client base continues to grow and evolve, we are
fortunate to have Glen Solimine’s support of the Wallstreet vision along with his strategic expertise. In addition,
the strength of the bolstered technology allows us to best manage complicated financial relationships, providing
a valuable service to clients. We see this investment as an integral part of our strategy going forward.”
