Ace's Solutions

Introduction

STP – Straight Through Processing is a simple concept but complex to implement. ACE understands the key messaging issues in order to significantly improve STP rates. Our 4 point STP model is aimed at simplifying and de-mystifying the whole subject of STP. Intelligent message repair is a key feature of the STP Toolkit™, it is in fact an STP Enabler, the key to achieving significantly improved STP rates.

Technology

STP Toolkit has been designed with reliability, flexibility and scalability in mind. It is portable and can therefore run on a wide variety of platforms including mainframe, minis, UNIX machines and Intel based PCs. The full range of software runs in a client/server configuration and supports the needs of small, medium and large users with extremely high message throughput requirements.

The 4-Step STP Model

A successful STP process chain requires four primary steps:

In the diagram above, ACE spans levels 2, 3 and 4, with level 3 being the differentiating level. Traditional middleware vendor spans levels 1 and 2. Ace could thus be regarded as a value added middleware vendor. Hence ACE is a middleware supplier, in other words, ACE offers an intelligent middleware layer whose chief aim is to facilitate STP by eliminating all manual intervention and through automatic processing of messages.
