About OSI
OSI has been in the third party business since 1995, when the SEC and
the major financial institutions first began looking into the realities
of optical disc storage for their broker-dealer records. Therefore OSI
was in the forefront helping broker-dealers understand and comply with
these new optical disk storage regulations - partly because a good portion
of the rules required that the broker-dealer work with a trusted, independent
third party. In fact we were one of the very first companies to provide
independent third party Optical Disk Storage services for mid-sized to
major financial institutions.
As a result, we have developed great expertise in the many technologies
and systems that need to be duplicated to comply with SEC rules. We have
also delivered our clients duplicate systems at a small fraction of their
original cost. Once these systems were implemented, clients began to realize
extensive savings on storage costs, not to mention a new ease by which
they can retrieve stored information. Our clients include such well-known
names as Lehman Brothers; Salomon, Smith Barney; Dean Witter and others.
OSI duplicates the "read-only" records management environment
of each client and maintains the system throughout the term of our agreements
through software updates, hardware upgrades and periodic testing. While
OSI is highly regarded as an expert in various systems, most systems are
custom-made for each client and require a certain degree of technical
interaction. In most situations, the client through the original developer
or current marketer provides any needed proprietary software to OSI.
OSI also maintains a full-time in-house legal staff to ensure that SEC
rules and regulations are adhered to in all respects.
OSI is based in lower Manhattan, in the heart of the financial district,
close to many of our clients.
