EXTENSION OF NETWORK SERVICES TO PARTNERS
The financial world is a synergy of large, medium and small companies working together to create a
portfolio of products using a variety of applications. Therefore, it is important for financial institutions to
be able to easily connect with a variety of business partners, contractors and outsourcers. However, connecting
various businesses creates a problem tracking all the activity of each transaction through multiple business
systems and networks. Since the OmniAccess 8550 WSG is the common element it can track all transaction
activity in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 (SAS 70) practices and consolidate
the activity into a single tracking report.
