NET-TEL Computer Systems Ltd - Messaging systems: X.400, X.500, Route400, Route500, e-mail, email, clients, servers, directory, mapi, gateways, X400, X500

Purchasing messaging software represents a strategic business decision. We suggest evaluating and assessing functionality, system technology, client satisfaction and vendor stability, your objective being to minimise risk without sacrificing flexibility or functionality.

Functionality
Route400 messaging products satisfy the most demanding e-mail and messaging requirements and are especially suitable where an organisation is confronted with advanced messaging requirements. Four typical examples are:

diverse operational, but incompatible, e-mail systems need to be integrated
the communications environment for messaging is complex and highly challenging
a significant proportion of the total message traffic is to external partners attached to diverse messaging systems
the number of message-enabled applications is expected to grow rapidly.

Thanks to Route400's inherent scalability, installations can grow simply from small beginnings in one location to a size where they support thousands of users at multiple sites.

System Technology
We have been developing X.400-based products since 1986 and selling these under the Route400 brand since 1988. Other companies cannot match this wealth of experience. Route400 and Route500 software products are all based on a common master generic version of the source code. New versions and releases of Route400 products are made available simultaneously for an exceptionally wide range of platforms. Having been designed and developed by top professionals, Route400 products can be used with confidence that they will operate superbly in the most complex system and networking environments both now and in the future.

The experience that our staff have built up in the X.400 and X.500 area enables them to play a leading role in the international standards process. Our specialists have been selected to convene the ISO committee responsible for e-mail standards, jointly edit the core messaging standards with the ITU-T, and chair the United Kingdom messaging standards group. These activities give us a real advantage in regard to innovation and conformance. Route400 products have successfully passed the demanding UK and US GOSIP tests. Clients can be sure that Route400 and Route500 conform more closely and faster to new versions of international standards than other developers can usually achieve.

Client Satisfaction
Route400 and Route500 products are built to industrial strength and designed to operate robustly. As a result, it is easy for clients to support their organisations effectively. We are totally committed to satisfying customer needs irrespective of hardware or operating system platform, network architecture or communications facility selected. NET-TEL is organised with an unequalled degree of independence to act quickly, flexibly and innovatively. All business decisions are made in a rapid reaction environment. The benefits for the customer are an exceptional readiness to listen and to respond with solutions which delight IT managers and users alike.

Vendor Stability
Messaging is already a critical application for most organisations. The stability of the product company is therefore absolutely essential. We have seen vendors come and go, but our commitment and dedication to messaging technology is total. As a result we have built up an enviable track record in the market-place. This has created the basis for the growth, profitability and financial stability that our clients can rely on.
