Depend on SCI Group for Business Integration Solutions
ConnectDirect VOS® Overview
IMPLEMENT THE INTEGRATION SOLUTION THAT PROVIDES ASSURED HIGH-VOLUME, SECURE DATA DELIVERY.
Whether it's over private networks or the Internet, reliable
data movement is central to the deployment of ebusiness solutions. In fact, whether it's within the
enterprise or with external business partners, 85 percent
of data exchange today is accomplished through
movement of files.
The rapid growth of e-business means that the volume of
data and the sizes of files are constantly increasing. In
addition, the Internet requires a solution that can secure
the connection over public networks and directly to backend applications.
To become competitive, businesses require high
performance, high availability solutions that are fully
automated and provide security and data integrity. Now
is the time to turn to SCI Group.
