Called RELAY for AIX and developed by CCL in Leicester for the RS6000 user, the solution has interfaces to Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, CC:Mail, Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Mail and offers unified messaging support for business applications, Windows 3.1, 95 and NT clients. With over 300 users in 9 European countries and clients who include BP Chemicals, Banca di Roma, British Gas, GEC Marconi Avionics, JP Morgan Investments, Reuters, Barclays etc...

Having developed a UNIX solution for the Compaq platform, we see the 500,000 AIX users throughout the world as a tremendous opportunity for the RELAY solution" according to Dennis Armstrong, CCL's Sales Director. "Many users have picked the RS/6000 because of its strong communications capabilities" he added "Like the RS6000, RELAY is scaleable in price from a small processor with a low volume of faxes and messages to a large processor with many users and high fax volumes and electronic messages".

"Our goal has been to create one universal UNIX messaging solution that is capable of meeting all user requirements and adding value. The investment that companies have made in their existing technology that they have implemented without having to purchase NT hardware and software to simply send and receive messages."

RELAY for AIX provides automatic inbound routing to Email platforms providing Message management, Message Status Confirmation, Archiving and Audit Trails. Security includes Multiple Level Authorisation, Pass Word protection and Called Unit Identity checking which ensures correct delivery.
