Opti-Q

Opti-Q is a mail presort application designed for the Canadian postal system, running on z/OS. The system's architecture includes components such as the Mail File Analyzer, Sorter, and Documentation Generator. The Mail File Analyzer parses the input mail file, the Sorter arranges the mail pieces according to postal regulations, and the Documentation Generator creates the necessary reports for Canada Post.

Opti-Q can expose APIs, potentially including REST or SOAP, to allow integration with other systems. It supports authentication methods such as LDAP and uses RBAC for access control. The system uses configuration files to define parameters such as postal code prefixes, sorting rules, and output formats.

These files are typically maintained by system administrators. The components communicate through internal system calls and data transfer mechanisms. Opti-Q uses encryption to protect sensitive data, both in transit and at rest.

Specific encryption algorithms and protocols are detailed in the product's security documentation. Competing products may offer similar architectures, but Opti-Q is specifically tailored for the Canadian postal system, providing tailored features and compliance.
