FTP Services

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) was for a long time (along with email) the way that information was transferred on the internet. Its use still has certain advantages, especially with the newer easier-to-use interfaces to ftp.
Formatted documents can be sent that can be printed out at the recipient's end. The transmission of the file is generally quicker than WWW, but the difference is that it does not display on the screen of the viewer. New developments in display standards such as the Adobe Acrobat format on the World Wide Web will certainly change the situation further, but file transfers for printing hard copy on the recipient's end will probably remain important. Continuing development and adoption of the MIME standard will make it easier to send formatted documents directly through email, but for the immediate future "attached documents" are not always or completely platform independent.

Acme Data Services can work with you to get your documents into the most widely distributable formats whether for Unix, Macintosh or DOS/Windows.

Mailing List Services

An electronic mailing list allows a business to communicate with its established clients as well as to establish new contacts. Email mailing lists can operate like the familiar postal mailing list except that more opportunity for automation can reduce the costs of maintaining and administering a list. Mailing lists can be customized in several ways. They can operate like an informal discussion group with contributions coming from any member of the group or they can operate like a more formal newsletter distributed from a company to its subscribers. A consultation with Acme Data Services can help identify the ways in which mailing list services can best be tailored to an individual firm's specific requirements.

Automated Email Response Services

In conjunction with mailing lists, automated response systems can be developed that use email to automatically reply to potential clients' requests for information or to offer further assistance and service to current clients. Like automated fax or telephone systems, automated email response systems offer considerable savings in the costs of promptly replying to these type of requests.
