TRANSACTION PROCESSING

Excellent Response Time and Improved Performance
Today's business success is highly dependent on terminal access to obtain information quickly. Many aspects of business - order entry, customer inquiry, credit verification, application programming - rely heavily on rapid and consistent response times. The quicker the response, the more productive the user. In the past, the capital outlay required for computer systems, together with the cost of operational support, greatly reduced a company's ability to provide remote users with the same performance and device capabilities as users located at the host computer site.

As the need for sub-second performance has evolved, MGT's application of channel extension technology has provided a cost-effective means of delivering high performance CRT support for remote users. PIXNET-XL channel extension provides sub-second response time to remote users who have no computer at their facility.

PIXNET-XL channel connectivity products bring the information processing power of the computer directly to users in remote locations, providing timely and accurate information wherever and whenever it may be required.

Customer Satisfaction
Improved service to customer requests is becoming more and more important in today's business environment where rapid response time is perceived as a quality issue by customers. One example is inquiry applications such as credit card verification many miles from a data center. The PIXNET-XL product family provides sub-second performance which is typically unattainable through traditional front-end processor approaches.

Time is Money
Improved response time has a direct correlation to improved profitability. Another application might include a remote order entry operation. During peak periods, as response time increases, order takers may not be able to handle the excessive number of calls. This could result in a loss of revenue or a requirement to hire additional operators. PIXNET-XL products provide crisp response time for hundreds of CRTs, allowing the same number of operators to handle the increased activity.

Use of PIXNET-XL channel connectivity products provide the economic benefits gained from response time improvements. CRT users realize increased productivity and satisfaction while their companies benefit from cost reductions.

People on the Move
Major corporations faced with a problem of space may choose to relocate entire departments to remote locations. Whether a department requires 50 or 500 CRTs, the PIXNET-XL family of products will support the remote applications. With PIXNET-XL providing channel-like performance, no decrease in productivity will be experienced.

PIXNET-XL products will support any response time sensitive interactive application. This could be any location where high volume transaction entry occurs. Rapid response time is possible and distance has little or no affect on performance (see diagram which follows).
