Discover the Advantages of Business Process Management

 No matter what industry you are in, organisations across the globe all have one thing in common: to be successful, they must operate smarter, faster and more effectively while concurrently reducing costs. To achieve this, many organisations are turning to business process management (BPM) solutions to help them immediately respond to changing business needs, reduce operational costs and streamline processes. 

BPM solutions help organisations define, model, execute, monitor and manage critical business processes. By addressing end-to-end processes, BPM unifies departments, applications and users. BPM also links business directives with IT development and puts power into the hands of the people who need it, when they require it.

Extending Fault Tolerance to Voice

Many years ago a group of ex-Tandem engineers worked for a company called Celsius. The company was later acquired by Cisco and their product became Cisco CallManager – the market leading VOIP solution. For many customers their telephone system is the most mission-critical system they have and five-9’s availability the minimum requirement.

These engineers knew of Integrated Research from their Tandem days and PROGNOSIS became the first IP Telephony management solution to be certified by Cisco.

Since then Integrated Research has extended it’s blue-chip customer list through this new area of technology. In the last year we have won prestigious customers such as Boeing, Airbus, British Airways and T Systems in Germany. In addition to these new customers, existing PROGNOSIS customers who are deploying Cisco CallManager are seeing the additional benefits of having an integrated management solution.

Data security solutions for HP NonStop, Windows, and Unix.

Dais Associates produces secure data transport and data extraction software, used by financial services and banking clients in 12 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

We initially developed the SecurityBlanket software to protect payments interfaces, ensuring the multi-platform end to end security, integrity, and confidentiality demanded by our banking client. It now secures the transfer of International Payment Instructions across 10 countries.

SecurityBlanket delivers all the functionality required for automated encrypted file transfer to assure data privacy and integrity for any entity that routinely transmits confidential material over vulnerable networks. SecurityBlanket runs on Windows, HP NonStop, Linux, and most varieties of Unix.

Our latest plug and play security solution, SecurityNet, is to be launched later this month. In a few simple steps you can set up your own private encrypted communications network, even over the Internet. The data you share with your colleagues, customers, and business partners will be absolutely secure.

Previously, we developed the Integrated Solutions family of data extraction tools for the Enscribe environment. We wrote IS to automate and simplify the data extraction process, using the Windows desktop. IS now serves financial institutions in numerous countries to feed interfaces, populate data warehouses, produce user reports, and generally meet the demands of users for data from a variety of NonStop applications.

If you are still using Enscribe, you will want to try IS.

Our products are ready for your evaluation by download from the Dais Web site.

In addition, all of our software has recently completed the NonStop Solution Validation Program for Itanium. We are Itanium-ready.
