XCOM, is a proprietary file transfer utility popular on Mainframes and midrange computers. XCOM establishes a peer to peer connection as opposed to FTP which is client/server. Users can send files from local systems to remote systems across an SNA or TCP/IP network and actively retrieve files from those systems. The remote system can initiate the same range of transfer capabilities as local system. Under most conditions, XCOM will allow file sharing between any two computers or workstations within your company. XCOM allows data centers in various locations worldwide to interact with each other for a wide range of purposes, including:

   *  Sharing data
   * Automating data and report distribution
   * Providing unattended back-up to dissimilar computers
   * Controlling and auditing network activities
   * Maintaining network security
   * Communicating with Point- Of -Sale (POS) terminals
