<strong>SCHUFA</strong> <strong>XML</strong>-<strong>Gateway</strong>:<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>interface</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>greater</strong> <strong>efficiency</strong><br />
Successful integration of <strong>SCHUFA</strong><br />
services<br />
Nowadays integrated business<br />
processes are a matter of course in many<br />
businesses. If <strong>SCHUFA</strong> applications are<br />
integrated in <strong>the</strong> processes, <strong>for</strong> instance<br />
in credit processing, <strong>the</strong> <strong>efficiency</strong> of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se processes can significantly<br />
increase.<br />
The <strong>XML</strong>-<strong>Gateway</strong>, <strong>SCHUFA</strong>’s access<br />
application based on <strong>the</strong> de facto<br />
standard <strong>XML</strong>, ensures <strong>the</strong> optimum<br />
integration of <strong>SCHUFA</strong> services into your<br />
business processes. The universal data<br />
exchange <strong>for</strong>mat <strong>XML</strong> also facilitates<br />
links to virtually all modern applications,<br />
thus having <strong>the</strong> special advantage that<br />
integrating <strong>SCHUFA</strong> into existing<br />
applications mostly requires minimal<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>t.<br />
Open to new developments<br />
The <strong>XML</strong>-<strong>Gateway</strong> is designed <strong>for</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
upgrading, which means that your access<br />
will enable you to make use of future<br />
services just as successfully as current<br />
ones. Format upgrades are easy,<br />
allowing <strong>SCHUFA</strong> clients to add new<br />
services without having to adapt <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
<strong>interface</strong>s.<br />
Two methods, one goal: enquiries and<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation can be processed ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
online or in batch mode. Online mode is<br />
intended chiefly <strong>for</strong> clients who integrate<br />
<strong>SCHUFA</strong> credit reports directly into <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
business processes. Via this procedure<br />
transmitted enquiries are dealt<br />
immediately and returned synchronously.<br />
If subsequent manual processing is<br />
necessary a corresponding message will<br />
be sent, and <strong>the</strong> result will be provided at<br />
a later date.<br />
Batch mode is designed <strong>for</strong> clients who<br />
prefer asynchronous processes, as well<br />
as being suitable <strong>for</strong> transmitting<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation to <strong>SCHUFA</strong>. If all actions are<br />
executed via <strong>the</strong> <strong>XML</strong>-<strong>Gateway</strong>, a results<br />
file will be made available to <strong>the</strong> client<br />
ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong> download from <strong>the</strong> <strong>SCHUFA</strong> file<br />
server or as an https stream. A<br />
combination of both modes is also<br />
possible, <strong>for</strong> instance transmitting<br />
enquiries in online mode and in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
by batch mode.
Risk management <strong>the</strong> efficient way<br />
Standard Internet communications via<br />
TCP/IP protocols (https and secure ftp),<br />
backed up by certificate-based<br />
au<strong>the</strong>ntication, guarantee secure access<br />
to <strong>the</strong> <strong>SCHUFA</strong> application and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
links such as ISDN or VPN are also<br />
possible. The data <strong>for</strong>mat used is <strong>XML</strong><br />
(eXtensible Markup Language). Thus,<br />
<strong>SCHUFA</strong> clients have easy and<br />
convenient access to <strong>the</strong> <strong>SCHUFA</strong><br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation and reporting system.<br />
Three good reasons <strong>for</strong> choosing <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>SCHUFA</strong> <strong>XML</strong>-<strong>Gateway</strong><br />
