Overview
Investors Bank and Trust (IBT), a securities processing institution, services clients that include many of the world's most sophisticated mutual fund, investment advisory and insurance companies.

Requirement
IBT was searching for ways to Increase client distribution systems and strengthen customer loyalty. To do this they came up with an idea for a product that allowed clients to receive statement trade confirmations via fax, email and print.

Solution
Involving participation from the business groups within IBT that generated trade confirms, ASE worked on developing an Enterprise Print Distribution Solution using ASE's DataPrep IServer products. The finale distributive output solution allows groups from San Francisco, Dublin and Boston to send trade confirms in PostScript, HP PCL or Xerox Metacode to network directories within the IBT WAN. Along with the statement, a control file is sent. The control file defines recipients, messages, formats of statement and the target output device. ASE's DataPrep IServer receives the control file and based on the parameters within the file, either emails, faxes, archives and/or prints the trade confirm. Email is sent out IBT's SMTP server. Faxes are sent to a RightFax server. Printing is done on Xerox production printers and archiving is integrated with FileNet's Report Manager solution.
