Case Studies

Patrick Townsend & Associates has worked with a wide variety of businesses to provide solutions that work!  Here are a few examples of what Townsend & Associates can do for you.

Fiserv Specialty Insurance

Fiserv Specialty Insurance was transmitting a large file from the System i to their bank every evening. The transfer was taking 12 hours using dial BSC communications. When the dial connection failed the file had to be re-transmitted and access to the system was delayed. By deploying Alliance PGP the transfer was performed over an Internet connection in a few minutes. The data was secured by strong encryption and precious system resources were conserved.   To learn more visit: http://www.patownsend.com/PGPencryption.htm 

 

  IBM Mid America

IBM Mid America wanted to give its customers the ability to make payments electronically via the Web. Checkfree is an Internet payment service trusted by thousands of consumers. To accomplish the integration with their System i applications IBM needed two technologies: PGP encryption for secure transfer of settlement data, and Triple DES encryption for HTTPS access to Checkfree systems. Alliance PGP provided the strong encryption technology, and Patrick Townsend & Associates provided the additional Triple DES encryption needed by Checkfree.  IBM Mid America is now fully integrated with Checkfree for electronic payments using Alliance software.   To learn more visit: http://www.patownsend.com/PGPencryption.htm

 

ExxonMobil

ExxonMobil has standardized on Network Associates PGP encryption on all of their server platforms worldwide. But System i data needed to be secured using PGP. ExxonMobil turned to Alliance PGP and its rich set of programming APIs to accomplish their goals. Alliance PGP secured ExxonMobil’s data and proved to be compatible with IBM z/OS, UNIX, Tandem, and Windows platform. Alliance programming interfaces provided the System i application security and cross-platform compatibity needed to get the job done.
