BOX for SWIFTNet
Highlights

Technology

Benefits of MessagePlus/Open
BOX for SWIFTNet has been built  on the generic message processing kernel of MessagePlus/Open implementing SWIFT specific functions via the latest technology standards. Both the message handling and most system functions (such as the configuration of journals, user profile data and routing algorithms) are based on definitions using XML syntax and, as a result, can be exported and imported in this format. This implies that Box for SWIFTNet includes the benefits explained in further detail in the Highlights section of MessagePlus/Open such as high availability, multiplatform support, compliance with industry standards and comprehensive functions for monitoring and alterting.
