LONDON, November 12 /PRNewswire/ -- B.I.S.S. Research, the exclusive research company offering a unique benchmarking of services and systems in the financial services sector, today announced that cama(TM) from Information Mosaic has achieved the B.I.S.S. 2009 Corporate Actions System Accreditation with record scores. The industry panel were fulsome in recognising the all round strength of cama(TM) to provide full corporate actions processing functionality.

Gary Wright, C.E.O., B.I.S.S. Research and creator of the B.I.S.S. business benchmarking concept said "Each year as the benchmarking boundaries continue to be widened and become even more comprehensive, to be awarded with the accreditation is a real achievement by Information Mosaic and the continuous enhancement of the cama(TM) solution has been a vital component to Information Mosaic's success.

The task of gaining the accreditation was made tougher this year than previous years by introducing a number of new benchmarking tests covering regulatory, operational risk and client servicing, as well as processing requirements for many different types of corporate event. But cama(TM) has really come up trumps by attaining such a fantastic result and it is a real 'feather in the cap' for Information Mosaic.

The B.I.S.S. Research benchmarking report which includes the benchmark tests, the results and the analyst's view on Information Mosaic and cama(TM) is freely available to financial services firms upon request.

The benchmarking showed that cama(TM) can bring terrific operational efficiency, realistic risk reduction and improved compliance for client protection and is an outstanding corporate actions system.

But it should not be forgotten that the benchmarking also measures the vendor's knowledge and expertise in corporate actions and a very high performance indicator was accomplished by Information Mosaic's corporate actions team. We are delighted to see Information Mosaic once again setting the pace."

Information Mosaic CEO, John Byrne, said "Information Mosaic is proud to be honoured with B.I.S.S. 2009 Corporate Actions System Accreditation.
