_______________
You should rely on the information contained or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide different
information. This prospectus does not offer to sell or seek an offer to buy
shares of common stock in jurisdictions where offers and sales are not
permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of
the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this
prospectus or any sale of the common stock.
THE COMPANY
We provide integrated data processing and information management systems to
more than 13,000 financial services providers, including banks, broker-dealers,
credit unions, financial planners and investment advisers, insurance companies
and agents, leasing companies, mortgage lenders and savings institutions. We
operate centers in the United States for full-service financial data processing,
software system development, item processing and check imaging, technology
support and related product businesses. Our operations are principally domestic
and in 2002 international operations constituted approximately 5% of total
processing and services revenues through business support centers in Argentina,
Australia, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Poland,
Singapore and the United Kingdom.
We were formed in 1984 through the combination of two major regional data
processing firms that began as the data processing operations of their parent
financial institutions. Historically, these firms expanded operations by
developing a range of services for their parent organizations, as well as other
financial institutions. Since our organization, we have grown by developing
specialized services and products and product enhancements, adding new clients
and acquiring firms complementing our organization.
Our headquarters are located at 255 Fiserv Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin
53045, telephone (262) 879-5000. We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation
in 1984, and reincorporated as a Wisconsin corporation in 1992.

RISK FACTORS
Shareholders, potential investors and other readers should consider the
following risk factors carefully in making any investment decision regarding our
common stock. If any of these risk factors come to pass, there could be a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or future results
of operations leading to a decline in the trading price of our common stock and
a potential substantial loss in the value of your investment in our common
stock.
OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY SUBJECTS US TO RISKS, INCLUDING INCREASED DEBT,
ASSUMPTION OF UNFORESEEN LIABILITIES AND DIFFICULTIES IN INTEGRATING OPERATIONS.
A major contributor to our growth in revenues and net income since
inception has been our ability to identify, acquire and integrate similar or
complementary businesses. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition
candidates in the future, which could adversely affect our growth. Businesses we
acquire may perform worse than expected or be more difficult to integrate and
manage than expected, which could adversely affect our business and financial
results. These risks may arise for a number of reasons:
o We may not be able to find suitable businesses to acquire at affordable
valuations or on other acceptable terms;
o We face competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirors;
o We may need to borrow more money from lenders or sell equity or debt
securities to the public to finance future acquisitions and the terms of
these financings may be adverse to us;
o Changes in accounting, tax, securities or other regulations could increase
the difficulty or cost for us to complete acquisitions;
o We may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with
acquisitions;
o We may need to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to
an acquired business;
o We may not realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration
benefits from an acquisition;
o We could enter markets where we have minimal prior experience; and
o We may experience decreases in earnings as a result of non-cash impairment
charges.
OUR SECURITIES CLEARING BUSINESS SUBJECTS US TO RISKS OF CLIENT DEFAULTS, WHICH
MAY RESULT IN MATERIAL LOSSES.
We have in the past and may in the future experience losses due to customer
defaults and alleged fraudulent trading activities to the extent we cannot
collect these losses fromt he correspondents or their customers. Our securities
clearing business enters contracts with its broker-dealer clients, which are
called "correspondents" or "introducing brokers," to process transactions, clear
trades and handle record-keeping for these correspondents and their customers.
Our contracts
3
with correspondents generally allocate risk of loss from us to the correspondent
and its customers for their trading activities. However, if the correspondent
defaults under its contracts with us and does not meet its contractual
commitments, then we assume the obligations resulting from the trading
activities of the correspondent and its customers. For example, a correspondent
recently allegedly manipulated our order entry system by sending to us through a
computer network link-up non-existent, non-consummated trades. We recorded a
pre-tax loss of $17 million as a result of that activity after the correspondent
went out of business, which left us with open, uncovered short-trading accounts
primarily in one security whose value increased dramatically immediately prior
to the correspondent ceasing to do business. At December 31, 2002, we had
approximately $1.7 billion of securities processing receivables from the 2.9
million accounts we hold on behalf of our more than 400 correspondents.
OUR SECURITIES CLEARING BUSINESS CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY DIRECT AND
INDIRECT GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, WHICH REDUCES OUR FLEXIBILITY AND INCREASES
THE COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS.
Our securities clearing business is subject to extensive regulatory
oversight principally by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or NYSE, and also by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. and state agencies. From time to time, the NYSE reviews or audits
our securities clearing business' procedures and policies and sometimes requires
changes to those procedures resulting in higher costs or reduced flexibility in
operating our business and, in some instances, the payment of fines. Other
results of these audits or our failure to comply with applicable laws, rules or
regulations could include fines, suspension or revocation of our licenses or
registrations, including broker-dealer licenses and registrations, or expulsion
from membership in the NYSE, any one of which could materially affect our
ability to conduct our securities business and operations.

(1) The amount shown is less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
The selling shareholders acquired the shares of common stock offered by
this prospectus from us as consideration for our acquisition of Trewit Inc. as
of November 30, 2001. None of the selling shareholders has had a material
relationship with us within the past three years other than as a result of the
ownership of our common stock or other securities of ours or as a result of
their employment with a subsidiary of ours following the closing of our
acquisition of Trewit Inc.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our existing long-term debt
instruments contain provisions limiting the amount of cash dividends we can pay
on our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 450,000,000 shares of common stock
and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of July 3, 2003, 193,421,403 shares
of our common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of our preferred
stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Subject to Section 180.1150 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law
(described below under "Statutory Provisions"), holders of our common stock are
entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by them on all matters
properly presented to shareholders. Subject to the prior rights of the holders
of any shares of our preferred stock that are outstanding, our Board of
Directors may at its discretion declare and pay dividends on our common stock
out of our earnings or assets legally available for the payment of dividends.
See "Dividend Policy." Subject to the prior rights of the holders of any shares
of our preferred stock that are outstanding, if we are liquidated, any amounts
remaining after the discharge of outstanding indebtedness will be paid pro rata
to the holders of our common stock. The shares of common stock offered by the
selling
6
shareholders by this prospectus are legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, except for certain statutory liabilities that may be imposed by
Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law for unpaid
employee wages.
Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue our preferred stock in series
and to fix the voting rights; the designations, preferences, limitations and
relative rights of any series with respect to the rate of dividend, the price,
the terms and conditions of redemption; the amounts payable in the event of
voluntary or involuntary liquidation; sinking fund provisions for redemption or
purchase of a series; and the terms and conditions on which a series may be
converted.
In connection with the issuance of the rights described below, our Board of
Directors has authorized a series of our preferred stock designated as series A
junior participating preferred stock. Shares of our series A junior
participating preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of the rights will
not be redeemable. Each share of our series A junior participating preferred
stock will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 225 times the dividend we
declare per share of our common stock. In the event of our liquidation, the
holders of the shares of our series A junior participating preferred stock will
be entitled to a minimum aggregate payment of $1.00 per share but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 225 times the payment we make per share of
our common stock. Each share of our series A junior participating preferred
stock will have 225 votes, voting together with our common stock. Finally, in
the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of
our common stock are exchanged, each share of our series A junior participating
preferred stock will be entitled to receive 225 times the amount received per
share of our common stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution
provisions. There are no shares of our series A junior participating preferred
stock currently outstanding.
The issuance of any series of our preferred stock, including the series A
junior participating preferred stock, may have an adverse effect on the rights
of holders of our common stock, and could decrease the amount of earnings and
assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock. In addition,
any issuance of our preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in control.
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
We have entered into a rights agreement pursuant to which each outstanding
share of our common stock, including the shares being sold by the selling
shareholders in the offering, has attached one right to purchase shares of our
series A junior participating preferred stock. Each share of our common stock
subsequently issued by us prior to the expiration of the rights agreement will
likewise have attached one right. Under circumstances described below, the
rights will entitle the holder thereof to purchase additional shares of our
common stock. In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, all
references to our common stock include the accompanying rights.
Currently, the rights are not exercisable and trade with our common stock.
If the rights become exercisable, each right, unless held by a person or group
which beneficially owns more than 15% of our outstanding common stock in the
aggregate, will initially entitle the holder to purchase 4/9 of one
one-hundredth of a share of our series A junior participating preferred stock at
a purchase price of $250, subject to adjustment. The rights will only become
exercisable if a person or group has acquired, or announced an intention to
acquire, 15% or more of our outstanding common stock
7
in the aggregate. Under some circumstances, including the existence of a 15%
acquiring party, each holder of a right, other than the acquiring party, will be
entitled to purchase at the right's then-current exercise price, shares of our
common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price. If another
corporation acquires us after a party acquires 15% or more of our common stock,
each holder of a right will be entitled to receive the acquiring corporation's
common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price. The rights
generally may be redeemed at a price of $.01 until a party acquires 15% or more
of our common stock, and after that time may be exchanged for one share of our
common stock per right until a party acquires 50% or more of our common stock.
The rights initially will expire on February 23, 2008. The rights do not have
voting or dividend rights and, until they become exercisable, have no dilutive
effect on our earnings.
Statutory Provisions
Section 180.1150 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that
the voting power of public Wisconsin corporations such as us held by any person
or persons acting as a group in excess of 20% of our voting power is limited to
10% of the full voting power of those shares, unless full voting power of those
shares has been restored pursuant to a vote of shareholders. Sections 180.1140
to 180.1144 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law contain some limitations
and special voting provisions applicable to specified business combinations
involving Wisconsin corporations such as us and a significant shareholder,
unless the board of directors of the corporation approves the business
combination or the shareholder's acquisition of shares before these shares are
acquired.
Similarly, Sections 180.1130 to 180.1133 of the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law contain special voting provisions applicable to some business
combinations, unless specified minimum price and procedural requirements are
met. Following commencement of a takeover offer, Section 180.1134 of the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law imposes special voting requirements on share
repurchases effected at a premium to the market and on asset sales by the
corporation, unless, as it relates to the potential sale of assets, the
corporation has at least three independent directors and a majority of the
independent directors vote not to have the provision apply to the corporation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders, including their donees, pledgees and transferees,
may offer and sell shares of common stock offered by this prospectus from time
to time and may also decide not to sell all the shares they are allowed to sell
under this prospectus. Sales that the selling shareholders do make may be sold
in one or more of the following transactions:
o on the Nasdaq National Market or any other securities exchange or
quotation service that lists or quotes the common stock for trading;
o in the over-the-counter market;
o in transactions other than on such exchanges or services or in the
over-the-counter market;
o in privately negotiated transactions;
o through put or call option transactions relating to the shares or
through short sales of shares; and
o in a combination of any of the above transactions.
The selling shareholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at
negotiated prices or at fixed prices. The transactions listed above may include
block transactions.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from
time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with these
transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short
sales of the shares of our common stock or of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for these shares in the course of hedging positions they assume
with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also sell shares
short and redeliver shares to close out such short positions. In addition, the
selling shareholders may enter into options or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to
these broker-dealers or other financial institutions of the shares of common
stock offered by this prospectus, which these broker-dealers or other financial
institutions may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented
to reflect such transaction). The selling shareholders also may loan or pledge
shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the shares so loaned, or
upon a default the broker-dealer may sell the shares so pledged, pursuant to
this prospectus.
We have been advised by the selling shareholders that they have not made
any arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers relating to the
distribution of the shares covered by this prospectus. The selling shareholders
may sell their shares directly to purchasers, use broker-dealers to sell their
shares or may sell their shares to broker-dealers acting as principals. If this
happens, then broker-dealers may either receive discounts or commissions
9
from the selling shareholders, or they may receive commissions from purchasers
of shares for whom they acted as agents, or both. This compensation may be in
excess of the compensation customary in the type of transactions involved. If a
broker-dealer purchases shares as a principal, then it may resell the shares for
its own account under this prospectus.
We will pay all registration fees and expenses for the common stock offered
by this prospectus. The selling shareholders and any agent, broker or dealer
that participates in sales of common stock offered by this prospectus may be
deemed "underwriters" under the Securities Act of 1933 and any commissions or
other consideration received by any agent, broker or dealer may be considered
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain
liabilities arising under the Securities Act from sales of common stock. Selling
shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, broker or dealer that
participates in sales of common stock against liabilities arising under the
Securities Act from sales of common stock. Because the selling shareholders may
be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act, the selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling
shareholders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales of common stock.
Instead of selling common stock under this prospectus, selling shareholders
may sell common stock in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available.
We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Securities Act upon being notified by a selling shareholder
that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the
sale of shares of our common stock through a block trade, special offering,
exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or
dealer. Any such supplement will disclose:
o the name of each such selling shareholder and of the participating
broker-dealer(s);
o the number of shares involved;
o the price at which such shares were sold;
o the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such
broker-dealer(s), where applicable;
o that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify
the information set out or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus; and
o other facts material to the transaction.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law,
directors and officers of the Registrant are entitled to mandatory
indemnification from the Registrant against certain liabilities (which may
include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933) and expenses (i) to the
extent such officers or directors are successful in the defense of a proceeding;
and (ii) in proceedings in which the director or officer is not successful in
defense thereof, unless it is determined that the director or officer breached
or failed to perform his or her duties to the Registrant and such breach or
failure constituted: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the Registrant or
its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer
had a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law unless the
director or officer had a reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
(c) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper
personal profit; or (d) willful misconduct. Additionally, under the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law, directors of the Registrant are not subject to
personal liability to the Registrant, its shareholders or any person asserting
rights on behalf thereof, for certain breaches or failures to perform any duty
resulting solely from their status as directors, except in circumstances
paralleling those outlined in (a) through (d) above.
The Registrant's By-laws provided for indemnification and advancement of
expenses of officers and directors to the fullest extent provided by the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.
The indemnification provided by the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and
the Registrant's By-laws is not exclusive of any other rights to which a
director or officer of the Registrant may be entitled.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered, which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-3
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item 15 of
this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective;
and
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
