PITTSBURGH, Aug 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fiserv Customer Centered Solutions (CCS), a unit of Fiserv Inc. (Nasdaq:FISV), announced today that Webster Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of Webster Financial Corp. (NYSE:WBS), implemented the InformEnt data warehouse solution to consolidate operational reporting, enhance cross-application reporting and provide a robust, enterprise decision-making tool for executive-level management.

Webster Bank, New England's largest independent bank with $18 billion in assets, has consolidated data that was "siloed" across the organization, automated operational and risk management reporting and enhanced security of the data residing within its organization. Webster accomplished this task with InformEnt, resulting in one robust data warehouse that includes a central data repository, built upon a source-independent, enterprise-wide financial services data model. With this consolidation, Webster is now using its data more effectively to streamline the management of its operations, increase control and security over the information and empower its end users with robust reporting and analytics.

"We are pleased that Webster Bank chose to implement InformEnt because of our experience in integrating third-party and various core systems," said Regis G. Rapp, president of Fiserv CCS. "Webster Bank selected InformEnt because it knew of our reputation for successfully integrating data from across the enterprise for hundreds of financial service institutions of various sizes and business objectives."

"With InformEnt, we have a single view of our operations. We are able to combine and normalize data from many different systems, resulting in a single consolidated reporting system, which is being used to run the business. We've also increased the speed, reliability and efficiency of our management reporting," said John Kershner, chief technology officer for Webster Bank. "InformEnt has enabled us to create a single view of the customer. Over time, we will enhance this view with additional third-party and subsidiary data to drive our customer analytics. These initiatives will help us meet our objectives to increase market penetration, secure additional revenue gains and reduce costs."

"This single view of the customer across the enterprise provides our clients with the necessary analytics to empower their front-end systems and drive their business applications to enable bank employees to make informed strategic decisions," said Stephen Yuran, senior vice president of Product and Channel Strategy for Fiserv CCS.
