We are focusing on key opportunities such as Basel II compliance and treasury management. As more countries implement Basel II strategies in preparation for meeting regulatory deadlines, SunGard’s focus has been on the provision of a comprehensive solution based on BancWare Capital Manager. SunGard also provides advisory services to help customers with their Basel II and credit risk management strategies.â€
