The "Digital Document Exchange" Service is addressed to companies that process large amounts of documents, also of fiscal importance, coming from domestic or foreign counterparties. Its purpose is to significantly automate the information management processes.
The solution emerged to facilitate a direct connection between large-scale retail professionals and their suppliers. It developed using the AS2 market standard, which lets companies manage all of their contacts, including those outside the country, using a single tool. Suppliers as well benefit from it as they acquire a more agile and modern tool to electronically exchange data with their most important customers.
The co-operative solution enables the user to interchange with other transmission circuits from a single connection system.
The service provides a simple and secure access mode based on open communications networks (Internet) and security tools that use digital certificates and asymmetric cryptography keys so the users are guaranteed considerable savings in transmitting their documents and the level of security of both delivery and inalterability of data is raised to ensure "non-rejection".
The continuity of the service is achieved by using highly reliable systems with data backup historicization methodologies compliant with the banking standards. The flexibility of the architecture makes it possible to create personalised integration forms with the company management systems.
Production and automated processing of the data make enhanced content control and company documentation visibility possible. The service integrates a translation and standardisation engine internally for the data exchanged between the various users, in this way forming the prerequisite for activating a substitute archiving system to standard that eliminates the costly handling of hard copy.
With regard to both transmitting invoices in structured format and general documentation, the Digital Document Exchange Service is a point of access to the innovative New Interbank Corporate Banking services platform.
In order to further develop the functions of the Digital Document Exchange Service and allow customers to take advantage of new market opportunities, interchange trade agreements have been put into effect with other providers - industry professionals of primary importance - to make access to the international data transfer networks in EDI format available.
