Client Control
With the same principles that underlie our developer networks, TxVia offers clients the ability to outsource processing to TxVia completely or deploy and manage their processing platform internally, as well as various hybrid options, all of which can evolve over time.
We categorize the types of control we offer clients into Platform Creation and Enhancement, Configuration, Operations, and Third Party Integration, as follows:
- Platform Creation and Enhancement
- Configuration
- Operations
- Third Party Integrations
Instead of relying on TxVia, a client platform can utilize TxVia's IDE and templates to create, manage and enhance their platform. TxVia can assist in the task of transforming a client's business requirements into models, or a client can use TxVia tools and templates and, with appropriate training, take complete control over the introduction of new features and functionality for its platform.
TxVia provides a model-driven configuration management system that utilizes automated, rigorous, continuous integration testing to reduce issues typically realized with overly used and brittle data-driven systems. All option changes entered into a web-based workflow management system go through a barrage of compliance, certification, unit and integration tests before being deployed into the production environment. In addition, model developers and QA personnel can work with production configurations while maintaining PCI-DSS compliance. The TxVia solution also provides for data-driven configuration in the handful of situations where the business case warrants. The long-term effect of a primarily model-driven configuration process is a robust framework for managing option complexity.
Once a client model is compiled into the target processing platform, the executable object code can be deployed into an environment of the client's choosing. While TxVia can host and manage the platform as a separate operating stack within our data center, a client can opt to host and manage its platform in-house or with a third party. A client can also opt to utilize the TxVia IDE to monitor the runtime performance of the platform in a visual, intuitive manner--providing complete transparency into a platform's operations. With TxVia, clients are not, therefore, limited by the operational constraints of a typical third party processor.
Clients can choose to use TxVia's switch services for turnkey access to key integrations into third parties such as payment networks, load networks, card production and fulfillment facilities, and issuing financial institutions. Connecting and integrating into these services has largely been in lockstep with processors, but with TxVia, clients can also elect to control any or all such third-party relationships by either direct integration using the TxVia IDE or utilizing a TxVia integration template and opting to own the contractual relationship with the third party service provider.
