 A Dynamic Landscape
In today's competitive environment, the only certainty is change. Changing business needs, changing technology, changing consumer demand, and a changing payments market.
Globalisation and the entrance of non-bank players into the payments space has resulted in lower margins and the commoditisation of payments. A recent report by Celent described a “sea change in payments”, noting that “the strategic IT investments of today are the competitive differentiator's of tomorrow”.
Do you have the right approach to navigate your way to success?
The Decillion Group Solution
Decillion Group have combined their wealth of experience in the financial messaging space, with Microsoft BizTalk® Server and the BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT to bring you MAPS, the Modular Automated Processing System. The BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT is Gold Certified by SWIFT since 2005, providing our clients with the assurance that MAPS is underpinned by technology that has been audited and accredited by SWIFT.
MAPS comprises two core components, the STP Engine and Transaction Manager. In combination, these components can be used to address a wide range of business needs from pure automation, through to the provision of user services to your customers utilising the SWIFT ISO15022 and ISO20022 standards for a comprehensive range of business banking communications.
STP Engine
Microsoft BizTalk®, the cornerstone of the STP Engine, can work with any format - XML or proprietary - not to mention the full range of both SWIFT MT and MX-based standards.
With a range of off-the-shelf adapters available, it can also be easily integrated with a diverse range of applications.
The STP Engine can be used to address a diverse range of automation and integration scenarios, not just payments, reuse increases your ROI.

Transaction Manager
To increase worker efficiency the Transaction Manger is focused on automation of the transaction lifecycle rather than creating and managing messages in isolation. Individual messages are linked together and actions determined by their current status.
The secure browser based GUI, with optional security modules such as one time or challenge/response passwords and audit trails, has been designed with compliance in mind and addresses key areas of concern around fraudulent actions.
In a world where payments are commodities, optional modules that enable you to value-add to your payment services make it possible to differentiate your service offering and move up the value chain.

Driving Growth
MAPS is a move away from product to platform. Recognising that no two institutions share the same business process, a business-centric approach drives each MAPS solution.
Through basing MAPS on Microsoft® BizTalk and true Service Orientated Architecture design principles, Decillion Group is able to deliver a tailored, cost-effective, scalable and flexible solution within a very rapid timeframe.
MAPS represents unparalleled value to your business and provides a platform upon which you can navigate the changing world of business. It enables you to successfully meet the needs of today and the challenges of tomorrow.
