Agile Real-Time Enterprise Payments Applications

Why Transacumen?

Financial institutions that process real-time retail or corporate payments need to look beyond
standard and expensive products to improve competitiveness.
Transacumen's open enterprise payments processing and quality assurance software
enables payments processors to reach their market faster and with reduced cost.



KEY BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS

Improve Service Delivery
and Reduce Costs

Transacumen's open transaction platform can be used to implement any real-time payment type. Transaction logic can be customised for inbound and outbound payments, ensuring efficient integration with internal systems and external parties alike.

Deploy in the Cloud
or On-Premise

Transacumen's open transaction platform has been engineered to support deployment to the cloud or to on-premise infrastructure. Systems can be created on-demand, leading to reduced infrastructure costs and improved organisational agility.

Outcompete in the
Digital Economy

Enabled with Transacumen's enterprise payments processing and quality assurance software, payments processors will see increased digitisation, new payment models and industry disruption as an opportunity to grow market share.

An Innovative Vision For The Future Of Payments

About Us

Transacumen was founded in 2011 to address the requirement of progressive financial institutions and other payments processors for agile, real-time enterprise payments software products.

Based on decades of experience Transacumen has combined an innovative architecture with forward-thinking technology choices to create a transaction platform that can be: implemented efficiently; scale to handle growth of the largest institutions; and be deployed to the cloud or on-premise.

Our mission is to enable payments processors to seize business opportunities and build market share by having greater control over how they initiate payment transactions to, and service transactions from, external systems and payments networks.



"Financial institutions that regard payments as a utility
are well attended to by large vendors and
their inflexible, expensive products.

Transacumen assists organisations that see payments as core business, a differentiator or an opportunity for growth."

Transaction Switches, Gateways and Hubs

STRATUM

STRATUM is an open, secure, scalable and reliable platform for implementing enterprise transaction switches, gateways and hubs.

Agility

STRATUM is a high-level and open platform that enables customers to address business requirements in-house. Applications can be implemented by configuring advanced components, and by developing custom channels and transaction types. Cutomisation is performed using non-proprietary tools.

Availability & Scalability

STRATUM applications are deployed across multiple servers, delivering the availability and scalability required by the most demanding payments processors. Applications run unmodified on lesser platforms, reducing costs during development, integration and support activities.

Security & Compliance

STRATUM allows a tailored security implementation for any payment type or application by supporting data tokenisation and data access-permission policies for individual fields in any message.

Cloud or On-Premise

STRATUM's flexible architecture supports deployment of applications to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Transaction Flexibility

STRATUM supports channel specific transaction processing for both upstream and downstream participants.

Channel Library

STRATUM applications integrate with other systems and devices by using or customising existing channels, including ISO8583, AS2805, POS, HTTP and batch.

Immediate payments and new payment models
are opportunities to
outcompete and increase profits.

Enterprise payments workloads in the cloud

STRATUM and Infrastructure-as-a-Service

STRATUM's architecture and curated technology choices allows it to be deployed into Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
Deployment into a cloud-based environment delivers a range of advantages over traditional approaches to payments workloads.

Reduced Infrastructure Costs

Create STRATUM systems on-demand to avoid provisioning delays and costs. System lifecycle can be aligned directly with implementation and business-as-usual activities such as integration, performance testing, UAT and production support. When a distributed STRATUM instance is not explicitly required, such as for infrastructure failure tests, teams can deploy STRATUM applications unchanged onto single server platforms, reducing infrastructure costs by an order of magnitude.

Capacity On-Demand

STRATUM applications can scale dynamically as a result of transaction load changes and in accordance with pre-configured calendars. Dynamic scalability allows payments processors to avoid the time and cost of capacity planning exercises, the up-front costs of provisioning headroom and the business constraints of operating a fixed capacity platform.

Reduce Security Risk

Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud all support policies, controls, procedures and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure. These security measures have been utilised by cloud operators to comply with payment industry regulations such as PCI-DSS. By leveraging the associated certifications, customers that deploy STRATUM applications to the cloud are reducing both security risk and compliance cost.
