RE: [SYSTEM21] BACS and BACS-IP

["JBA Consultant" <jba.consultant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

The software that you choose will probably depend on what your bank
recommends.  In my case, Barclays Bank recommended IBacs from Direct Debit
(Access Europe on your list).  This is available for a small monthly fee of
£50 per user from memory.

Our simple CL uses the STRPCO command to get client access to download sort
code, account details, amount, payee name, our name etc into a *.txt file.
It also clears BACSF1 after the transfer has been completed successfully! 

The data import function from Ibacs formats this file using a template and
once validated and approved it is sent to BACS.

This all took an afternoon to set up and their consultant and helpdesk where
kind and helpful.

The next step is to implement direct debit collections using a product
called Direct Debit Expert which is AUDDIS compliant.

Check out this web site: http://www.directdebit.com/index.html

Also, make sure that you arrange to receive your smart card(s) from your
sponsor bank as you can't do anything without them.

Bye,

Marcus.

Everyone
        I have checked this out and there are only 13 companies that have
been
approved by BACS in the UK - Eiger is one of them. This list was at April
2004 mind you.

        ABM Limited
        Access Europe
        Albany Software
        APT
        Barron McCann
        Bottomline Technologies
        Eiger Systems
        Fortis Bank
        Grange Management Cons
        InterSoftware UK
        Microgen
        NatWest Bank
        Payactive

        I would shop around before going with Eiger

        ps - Don't underestimate the amount of work required to implement
BACSTEL-IP

        best regards

        Paul Milne-Smith

I am not currently a user of BACS software at the moment but I have
installed and used a number of packages over the years.  The one I usually
recommend is from Grange Management Consultants, take a look here:

A quick question for the folks in the UK.  As all of you BACS users are
aware, the old BACS facility is being switched off at the end of this year.
Now, GEAC have an offering in conjunction with a company called Eiger
Systems to work with the BACS-IP facility.  I was wondering what others are
planning on doing.  Are you going to go with the GEAC solution or are you
planning on going with a different one (and if it is a different one, then
which one)?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
