Application Services
You are already familiar with one application service--the BillerXpert
data loading service. Application Services provide interfaces to
external sources of data, such as payment warehouses, databases, messaging
systems, and legacy application data. The following application services
are provided with BillerXpert 1.0:
-
Messaging - formatting and sending email from a particular account as well
as retrieving incoming messages
-
Payment Services - perform financial transactions by linking to electronic
payment services and vendors
-
Data Loading - read XML records and create, update or delete corresponding
entities in Oracle and Directory Server
The following diagram illustrates how PSAL provides the interface to payment
warehouses, using CyberCash. PSAL is built to allow integration with
products with other vendors, but at this time, CyberCash is the only supported
option.
