Bottomline Introduces Advanced Capabilities for Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Architecture
Enhanced Functionality for Global Cash Management Enables Banks to Take Ownership of the User Experience for Greater Market Differentiation
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. and COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – October 21, 2009 - Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today at EuroFinance’s 18th International Conference announced expanded support for Web 2.0 and service oriented architecture (SOA) within its WebSeries® Global Cash Management platform.
Designed to capitalize on the benefits of SOA and Web 2.0, WebSeries provides banks and financial institutions with the flexibility required to take greater ownership of the end user experience. By leveraging Bottomline’s SOA-enabled building blocks, banks can construct a highly-interactive user experience utilizing state-of-the-art AJAX controls. At the same time, banks with existing front-end user interfaces can significantly enhance the user experience by ‘calling’ Bottomline’s Web services to support business rules, transaction processing and information queries. Through either approach, banks can continue to dictate the specific elements of functionality for client-facing solutions.
“When choosing a banking partner, corporations expect cash management solutions to have the same level of usability, sophistication and personalization found in popular online experiences such as search engines and specialized online communities,” said Eric Campbell, Chief Technology Officer of Bottomline Technologies. “By architecting WebSeries to fully support SOA and Web 2.0 technology, our banking customers are able to create a unique user experience that differentiates their products and services in the marketplace and provides the flexibility to support clients anywhere in the world.”
To get to market quickly with high-volume domestic and international payments capabilities, banks and financial institutions around the world rely on Bottomline’s award-winning WebSeries Global Cash Management platform. A single platform for managing payments and providing real-time cash management reporting, WebSeries delivers the security, reliability and rich functionality necessary to deliver the products and user experience required to strengthen customer relationships and develop new markets.
