to vendors offering complementary solutions in the securities
industry. The certification process includes connectivity testing
and verification of messaging protocols by CheckFree to ensure the

CheckFree's solution. CFACS-certified STP partners will benefit
from partner programme support including: * Verification of SWIFT
and other messaging protocols * Baseline compatibility and the
metadata integration of partner applications with CheckFree
TradeFlow TPM and CheckFree MessageBroker * Co-marketing incentives
such as trade show visibility as a CFACS partner and a CSTP
programme emblem for marketing purposes * Access to CheckFree's
expert technical support, ongoing maintenance and the assistance of
a professional services team that is able to analyse the impact of
system upgrades, improvements or new features, and apply
integration expertise as a SWIFTReady Gold market leader The CSTP
programme will advance the industry by giving securities firms who
adopt CheckFree solutions and certified partner solutions
confidence that their technology choices will yield an effective,
compatible STP infrastructure. Linedata Services first to join CSTP
