The cost will depend upon what software is already in use by the financial institution and the availability of either a VPN appliance or the Connect:Direct Secure+ option. SDTM subscribers must use software that can exchange data with the Sterling Commerce Connect:Direct application with client authentication enabled. Client authentication requires the use of a third-party signed certificate for a trusted certificate authority. The cost of this software is dependent on the platform on which it is deployed, and the cost of the certificate is dependent upon the third-party certificate authority chosen. SDTM subscribers must have a VPN appliance that is compatible with the BSA E-Filing VPN appliance or use Connect:Direct with the Secure+ option. In addition, there may be costs associated with the setup, test, and maintenance of this capability.
