DECIDE

Before onboarding, CPs face an important decision in their approach to onboarding to the TOTSCo Hub: connecting directly or connecting through a Managed Access Provider (MAP).

  1. Connecting directly:
    This option involves CPs taking full responsibility for adapting their systems and processes to complete the OTS process. It requires resources, including technical expertise and dedicated personnel.

  2. Working with a MAP:
    A Managed Access Provider offers services to assist CPs in connecting to the TOTSCo Hub and managing the necessary message exchanges. MAPs can provide varying levels of support, from basic technical solutions to full management of the OTS process on behalf of the CP. For full information on each MAP solution see Working with Managed Access Providers.
