The Montran General Accounting package is a real-time transaction processing system for Customer and General Ledger accounting. The system can be integrated with other applications, performing the basic functions of transaction processing, accounting and reporting for a multitude of Montran software solutions ranging from Payments Systems (including Real-Time Gross Settlement) to complete Banking Systems.

The General Accounting system supports multi-currency processing and can be configured for single-, multi-branch or multi-bank operating environments. Real-time processing ensures that all transactions are posted to the ledger immediately following the entry and approve steps. Up to the minute account status information is available on-line or through an extensive set of reporting functions.

Both individual transaction entry and batch mode entry mechanisms are supported by the General Accounting system, providing a flexible and efficient implementation of input control procedures. Processing functions include real-time posting, interest accrual, automatic cash management, customer billing, statements and reports generation.

The General Accounting software environment is based on a full transaction processing (TP) monitor architecture with multiple levels of redundancy and "hot backup" capabilities. The environment is common to a full suite of Montran applications, which can be used individually or can be integrated to provide a complete Banking System solution.

The Montran General Accounting software solution is available for hardware environments based on Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha and VAX systems architecture for the application and database servers, and based on PC (IBM Compatible), Alpha and VAX (terminals) for the client environments.
