Banks now have a real market proven
alternative application for their NonStop platforms
SINGAPORE, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-Asia/
-- BPC Banking Technologies, the leading provider of Open System
e-payment solutions for the global financial industry, today
announced it had completed the porting of its SmartVista switch
solution (SmartSwitch) to HP's Integrity NonStop platform.
The HP Integrity NonStop server is
the platform of choice amongst many tier 1 banks requiring a fault
tolerant environment within their e-payments infrastructure. In
taking the strategic decision to port SmartSwitch to the NonStop
platform, BPC was conscious that many of the world's banks are
actively seeking alternatives for their legacy e-payment solutions
running on NonStop servers.
The porting project took only three
months to complete and was undertaken with the invaluable support
of HP's Bangalore, Technology Center.
"There is a level of uncertainty in
many of the world's banks as to the direction they should take in
modernizing their e-payments infrastructure," commented Vasily
Grigoriev, CEO BPC Banking Technologies. "With our port to HP's
NonStop platform banks now have the real alternative of keeping
their fault tolerant infrastructure, while enjoying the benefits
that SmartVista brings as a modern, scalable and market proven
e-payments solution."
"HP has been an extremely supportive
partner during the porting project, providing both expertise and
technology," said Rajan Narayan, Managing Director, BPC Banking
Technologies, AP and LAC. "We have a significant opportunity here
in Asia Pacific to win new business from the region's banks and
together with HP are looking forward to supporting them in their
migration to SmartVista."
"HP believes that the BPC's
SmartVista technology is an excellent example of a game changing
Cards & EFT processing platform that will enable HP customers
to launch new products faster and at a lower price point than
current implemented technology," commented Sandeep Kapoor, Director
for NonStop Enterprise Division, Asia Pacific and Japan at HP. "It
is a testimony to the investments that HP has been making in
modernizing the NonStop architecture for newer & modern
applications like SmartVista to port and take advantage of the
platform availability and scalability. The porting was
accomplished in such a short time, demonstrating an open
environment that the newer NonStop systems bring to the
market."
