Key Features of Our Solutions

1. Provision of a highly discrete B-FEP designed specifically for connecting to BOJ-NET

B-FEP, as a package conforming with the BOJ-NET CPU connection specifications, is used by many customers. Designed for use with the different system architectures and operations of each customer, it is complete with functions for common use, including message transfer by CPU connection and recovery functions in case of a BOJ-NET center fault. For BOJ-NET as well, we will continue to provide BOJ-NET connection packages compliant with the new requirements.

2. Provision of a conversion function for minimizing the impact on legacy systems from the change to XML message format

Our FMB message conversion solution minimizes the impact on back-office systems from the standardization of settlement messages used in BOJ-NET (some messages), the Japan Securities Depository Center (JASDEC), Swift (MX), and other market infrastructures to ISO 20022 (XML/international standards).
