BOX for SWIFTNet
Functions

User Profile Management

Up to 8 hierarchical levels
BOX includes a sophisticated User Profile Management (UPM) facility with up to 8 hierarchical levels capable of modelling even the most complex organizational structures. This provides a powerful new capability which eliminates a great deal of complexity found in current SWIFT messaging systems.

Favoured platform for service providers
At the highest levels of the UPM completely independent organizations can be defined utilising their own virtual BOX instance which will not interfere with the configurations or message processing of other organizations sharing the same physical BOX system. This architecture makes BOX a favoured platform for service providers managing the SWIFT traffic of several financial institutions and INTERCOPE currently has several large customers doing this today.

Single Sign-On
While the user authorization to enable or disable system functions is handled directly by BOX, the user authentication can optionally be performed by generic single sign-on systems and the user data can be synchronized with external directories.

Save hundreds of MERVA queues
The BOX UPM provides a very powerful tool for SWIFT messaging authorization, and especially for any MERVA migration. Analysis of actual customer MERVA installations revealed that very often hundreds of MERVA queues were used with the only objective being to control message access. As part of the migration to BOX this highly complex queue structure can be replaced by a simple, coherent and transparent definition of organizational units and message ownership.
