Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) provides maximum efficiency for organizational messaging for your command or agency.

Now a component of Telos Secure Information eXchange, or T-6, AMHS was originally developed as a part of the next-generation of the Defense Messaging System (DMS). 

Telos AMHS provides a cost-efficient Web-based organizational messaging solution that greatly simplifies configuration management, system administration, and customer interface to the DoD record messaging system. The same solution also handles non-DMS messages including SMTP e-mail and news wire services as well as a number of agency-specific formats and protocols.

AMHS routes incoming messages to the right user by looking at addressing information, message content, and the content of attachments to each message. The use of profiling -- delivering messages based on content and information type other than by address -- is a highly effective means for determining internal message distribution.

In addition to near-real-time organizational message delivery, AMHS indexes and creates a searchable archive of all inbound and outbound traffic for future reference. AMHS provides intuitive tools for searching and retrieving messages from the archive while protecting against unauthorized access. And, AMHS provides an easy way to create, coordinate, and release outgoing messages.

Add it all up — power, simplicity, security, and lower cost — and Telos AMHS is the ideal solution for your enterprise organizational messaging needs.
