This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateAsia 2013.

Coming to the stage for the first of two separate presentations here at FinovateAsia is GMC Software Technology.

“GMC Software Technology is proposing Inspire Research Portal for Investors. Wealth management groups, investment companies and banks have their own team of market researchers who would study the markets and provide their findings to investors on what they could do to secure or enhance their investments. But the current process is too manual and prone to errors. GMC Software Technology has researched and identified that there is a need to streamline this process, as there is no centralized platform or a total solution which could fulfill all these requirements.”

In the final demo before lunch, KlickEx debuted its crypto-currency for central banks:
“After extensive testing in the Pacific, KlickEx is pleased to announce the development of a new asset-backed and algorithmic crypto-currency for institutional and retail use. A stable, international, risk-free asset is a key foundation for efficient financial markets, and KlickEx’s award-winning interbank payment network has an exemplary track record in stability, and efficiency. Having eradicated the significant systematic deficiencies of Bitcoin, then bridged the portfolio limitations of the IMF’s SDR, the new base asset is a proactive response to recent negative public sentiment towards banking in general, and recent global events including the GFC, Euro-Crisis, BASEL II, III, and fiscal & political instability in Prime currencies. 
KlickEx believes in efficient, effective, and accessible financial markets. Our products enhance transparency, stability, inclusion, and systematic velocity by eliminating counter-party risks from central bank balance sheets, informal remittance networks, and mitigating cash inefficiencies for commercial banks, mobile operators and regulators. KlickEx has taken the best, and made it better.”

Presenting Robert Bell (Manager of Operations) and Brett Waterson (CTO)
