Celent Names Xenos a Significant Player in Banking Document Handling Solutions Spectrum

TORONTO, Ontario, November 22, 2006 - Xenos Group Inc. (TSX: XNS), a leading provider of solutions that capture, transform, transport and present data and electronic documents, has been named a "Significant Player” in the Banking Document Handling Solutions spectrumin a recent report published by Celent, a leading international financial services analyst firm . Celent also recently named Xenos a leading player in Insurance document handling solutions.

Celent’s report, Document Management in Banking: Overview and Solution Spectrum, published November 10 2006 and available directly from Celent, analyzes key issues related to document-intensive business processes in banking. It provides an overview of the technology options available to financial institutions across different areas of document management and classifies 30 vendors.

"The need for managing documents more efficiently is both an enterprise-wide and line of business requirement for banks. Whether driven by the necessity to streamline core processes such as lending or account opening, to improve the quality of customer interactions, or to fulfill compliance mandates across the organization, document management solutions are critical for the optimal functioning of a financial institution,” said Madhavi Mantha, author of the Celent report and senior analyst.

"Celent’s recognition of Xenos is validation of our technology for banking customers to speed mortgage loan origination via straight-through processing and provide customer and financial advisors with online self-service via secure eStatement presentment,” said Graham Barker, Chief Marketing Officer for Xenos. “Legacy systems that are ill-equipped to handle straight-through processing and unstructured documents housed in disparate archives in incompatible formats are among the primary obstacles overcome by deploying Xenos software solutions—without reengineering,” Barker said.

The Xenos product suite is comprised of d2e™, a high volume document stream transform server, implemented with many leading ECM archives (including Oracle, IBM, FileNet, EMC Documentum, CA, Systemware and Mobius among others), infoWEB™, a portal plugin for consolidated view and e-statement presentment of archived information assets and terminalONE™, a data interchange server to enable straight through processing into legacy environments.
