| We
offer a variety of telex and fax services
to meet your needs including faxing directly
from your PC, faxing to a broadcast list,
sending telexes and faxes via the Internet
as well as traditional methods of communication.
By interfacing to various financial application
software packages we provide the communications
service you need. You have a choice of using
your own software or our special applications
to prepare and send your message, all using
our network. Our flexible services make
sure you use our network to your maximum
advantage.
Security
you can rely on
Stracom meets the exacting security requirements
demanded by the finance industry to provide
a secure and reliable service. Access to
the service is password protected. Users
are also encouraged to provide the recipient’s
telex answerback, so this can be verified
in every telex message.
No messages are ever seen by any Stracom
operators and almost all are delivered automatically.
However, if automatic delivery fails because
of a manual exchange or incorrect format,
when our staff directs the message manually
they only see the reference numbers and
address details. They do not access the
actual message, thus providing a secure
transmission for your sensitive information
with the best possible chance of delivery.
Reliable
Service
You can rely on the Stracom network –
our tandem’s non-stop fault tolerant
multi-processor system is at the heart of
our service. By writing each and every message
to two separate disks, no details can be
lost if there is a disk drive failure. In
addition Stracom’s host computer has
its own uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
and a back up electricity generator –
ensuring smooth operation at all times.
For added reliability and further services,
we run a duplicate system in London. This
provides additional processing capacity
and disaster back up to keep our services
going no matter what the problems.
Fast and cost effective
transmissions
Stracom’s transmission rates are frequently
lower than other telecommunication companies.
Visible savings can be made across the whole
range of our services for both in-house
and external communications. To help you
monitor your costs, we provide fully itemized
monthly bills with departmental codes.
Your time is money, so make your communications
easier and less consuming, Stracom offers
broadcast services. You only send your message
once along with your broadcast list and
we will distribute to everyone on your list.
Our broadcast facility is particularly useful
if you frequently send the same information
to many addresses. We also retry any busy
numbers to ensure maximum successful delivery,
leaving you free to continue work.
Our network can be accessed
by telex, direct dial, X.25 public packet
switching and data communications as high
speed. And with local nodes in most major
financial cities, access is only a local
call away. Many financial institutions,
particularly large users prefer leased circuit
access (supporting X.25, frame relay or
IP), although this is not required to start
using the service.
Stracom can offer a “one stop shop”
for all your messaging needs. With our reliable,
fast, secure network we could lower your
communication costs.
