Standard Life experienced significant year on year growth of EDI data that could no longer be supported by their existing legacy systems in addition to the high cost specialist skills needed to support it. HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) end of financial year submissions/approval process, in the United Kingdom, presented the sense of urgency required to implement a solution capable of delivering high volumes of EDI transactions in significantly short data transmission times.

Standard Life’s Colin Lakats, Technical Solutions Designer, stated, “EasyLink’s quick and effective implementation of the EasyLink FTS Enterprise Gateway provided substantial cost savings in hardware/software licensing and application support for Standard Life. In addition, the new platform supported expansion of Standard Life’s IFA (Independent Financial Advisors) network, providing HMRC compliance, with minimal support effort.”
