	Communicator Inc and DTCC Deriv/SERV Create Link To Streamline OTC Derivatives Confirmation Process

		New York, June 27, 2005—Communicator Inc and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced today that they are forming a link to help centralize post-trade processing for OTC derivatives trade confirmation for end user firms that are using both services.

The combined solution offers the best of breed automated industry solution that allows PIMCO to process OTC derivatives faster and at a lower cost," said David Lown, Executive Vice President of PIMCO.

By linking Deriv/SERV and the Compliance Hub Confirmation Service together, buy-side clients (such as hedge funds, investment managers, mutual funds) get access to the 'best of breed' solution for confirming 100% of their OTC derivative products" says Leo Schlinkert, President and CEO of Communicator Inc.
