In addition, Household will be able to continue upgrading their system with the new generations of 12-inch optical drives and media. The Household data storage system also integrates with some external vendors. MBNA has access to specific types of loan documents, explains KhaziSyed. Each MBNA business unit has a unique family and doc Class to which the documents belong. This is controlled by a security database, which monitors users rights.
Security is top priority and can be controlled at document level also.
A custom developed Web application allows the external vendors to view documents via a Household intranet site based on user access rights. In the United States, Household operates under the names HFC and Beneficial. Control Data Corp. Their primary business is optical data storage, including development and manufacturing of optical drives, media, and automation. They target enterprise-wide financial, insurance, and government applications, and any applications where permanent, unalterable storage of critical data is important. Some banks, mutual funds, and brokerage houses use our optical libraries to support call center operations where customers call to conduct trades, inquire about account status, etc.
