Mini Overview of CTI Communications - Specialists in 3780 and TCP/IP based Extranet Store-and-Forward Mailbox Systems - FTP and 3780 BSC Remote File Transfer Technologies.

Summary

CTI markets one of the oldest and fastest IBM oriented 3780 BSC file transfer packages in the world for DOS, Windows based PCs for micro-to-mainframe communications.

In addition, we market a secure, fast and dependable IP based store-and forward electronic mailbox packages that are Windows based and can operate across multiple platforms in support of IT legacy investments. This 3rd generation Store-and-Forward Mailbox System is just what many operations need to provide the next best thing to real-time, on-line data access and is targeted to users who need easy access to a finite number of files and who want to avoid the broad, complicated and difficult to manage security issues of allowing enterprise wide network access to all files.

The IP oriented mailbox system operates over Internet, Intranet and Extranet links and may be configured as a VAN (Value-Added-Network) for Internet Service Providers, corporations, institutions or other sites requiring fast and secure bulk file transfers along with extensive audit trails.

Here's an overview of what we do, what we market, and the benefits...
	CTI's based 3780 RJE Bisynchronous products are the fastest and most feature rich in the industry having extensive scripting (batching) capabilities to program your file transfer needs into legacy mainframe and mini systems. As a special feature, CTI's BSC SyncPack2000e software does not require the use of an expensive internal/external synchronous interface card/device.
	CTI specializes in high-performance, secure file transfers between computers over LANs and WANs in addition to operating over all types of telephone lines using either asynchronous and/or synchronous modems, ISDN terminal adapters, etc;
	CTI markets a secure Windows based Client/Server Mailbox System specifically oriented toward the fast and automated transfer of large text and binary bulk data files. Ever try to send a large binary CAD or similar type file over the Internet? It's tough, if not often impossible...further, attaching a binary file with MIME to an E-mail message adds 40% more overhead! The CTI system saves this 40% overhead cost/time penalty.
	CTI's mailbox systems provide total management control in terms of extensive audit trails and alternative levels of security for Internet, Intranet and Extranet users. It includes non-repudiation - a guaranteed proof of document delivery - you know that a specific transaction took place at such and such time. And, the system knows exactly who was involved in the transaction and writes the event into a comprehensive transaction log.
	When a file transfer "breaks," the broken file is patched back together at the point of the break saving time and money; who hasn't almost downloaded a complete file only to lose the last few hundred bytes and had to start the whole thing over again? This restart feature promotes efficient file transfers throughout the enterprise.
	The CTI Mailbox system can help companies, financial institutions, and ISPs break the Internet/Intranet/Extranet log jam created as more and more E-mail messages with their attached files or embedded graphics and multimedia data files are getting ever bigger and slowing down their systems capabilities. The CTI solution can help avoid both some of the trials of dial-up communications as well as improving LAN/WAN traffic throughput.
	CTI offers companies and organizations the option of establishing their own private intranet mailbox system that can be operated through CTI's own Value-Added-Network (VAN). The advantage here is having no capital expenditure and CTI managing your mailbox system. You then pay only a small monthly usage and file transfer fee. A VAN is sometimes called a master "clearing house," or Store-and-Forward mailbox system, allowing remote customers, clients, divisions, or suppliers to dial into the system and obtaining various kinds of data files.
